Love this place so much! There's a lot to do and a lot to look at. :) Plus they have gluten free options for ice cream in their ice cream parlor downstairs!

Stopped by during vacation. The kids had a blast. There is quite a bit to do here, especially with the Adventures in Odyssey section. They have a play area, shops, a radio station where you can record your own Odyssey adventure and plenty of exploration. It's all free (outside the shops). You can burn a few hours here. The bookstore was nice it had a decent selection. Some of the prices seemed a little elevated but it was quality stuff. I would recommend this stop to anyone looking for something to do indoors with the kids.

The Focus on the Family Welcome Center was truly a highlight of our family vacation. We have 3 children ranging from 7 to 1, and they all loved it. The welcome center is entirely free and a fun place for children to run around and explore. Dining at Whit's end was affordable and kid friendly. We intended on staying for an hour or two based on what we had been told, but ended up being there for about 6 hours!
