Twin Falls is known for its remarkable views. From Shoshone Falls to the Snake River Canyon, there are some breathtaking sights in this southwestern Idaho town that I love to visit. One of the best ways to enjoy these views and even learn a little more about this incredible area is at the Twin Falls Visitor Center. However, this isn’t your typical visitor center in Idaho and when you visit, you’ll quickly see why.
No matter if this is your first time visiting Twin Falls or you have lived here for years, the Twin Falls Visitor Center is a must-visit destination in town. This visitor center is located right on the rim of the Snake River Canyon and with floor-to-ceiling windows, you’ll enjoy some pretty incredible views.
While the views are enough to bring you to this visitor center, there is so much more to see and do. For example, you can check out the historic Perrine Stagecoach.
Outside of this visitor center, you will find large grassy areas where you can enjoy the views and the fresh air. You’ll also find picnic tables if you wish to enjoy a meal and if you bring your bike, park it in the steel bike rack that looks just like the Perrine Bridge.
Surrounding the visitor center, you will find multiple signs that will tell you more about important landmarks and attractions in the area like Shoshone Falls and the Thousand Springs Scenic Byway.
