If you have an interest in pioneer history, or you just need a great rest stop with clean restrooms, stop at the Interpretive Center! It's great! It's also a great place to take kids, especially if they are learning about history. You could seriously spend several hours there! In the past, they have one weekend in late May or June, when they have something like living history days. Outdoor displays and activities. People dressed in period costumes, etc. It's seriously great! Plan to spend the night in the area though because you will be tired from all the fun!

Incline Village Crystal Bay Visitors Bureau

Reviewed By 791patsys - San Jose, United States

I stopped at this Visitors Center prior to boarding a shuttle to the Thunderbird Lodge tour. The center has LOADS of information about the Tahoe area, and both of the employees were very pleasant and willing to share detailed information about what is in in the area, based on my questions. They were able to offer suggestions about several area hikes, natural sights, and even some shopping tips! The center also has lovely grounds surrounding it, and there is even a little room of Ponderosa memorabilia in the main building. This center really exceeded my expectation of a ‘visitors center!!’

Some people like to just wing it but I've noticed that you can miss a lot of hidden stuff when you do that. So, be sure to stop in and check our the displays, gift shop and maps

This cave is very interesting. I would recommend the Grand Palace Tour if you have the stamina as it includes more rooms than the Lodge Tour.
