Maps, souvenirs, displays, and even bathrooms. Plus park employees who are happy to tell you about the best hikes or which features of the GGNRA are open on any particular day. Everything you need to figure out the Headlands. Be sure to pick up a free trail map here. Also they have the stamps for the National Parks Passport.

Visitor center in old historic building with friendly people in one of the most beautiful spots in the Bay Area.

So this is the first time I’ve felt really compelled to write a review about a visitor center. However, the Marin Headlands Visitor Center just so cozy and welcoming, and I wanted to acknowledge all of that. In addition, several of the park rangers who were there took ample time in helping guide my first-​time visit to the Marin Headlands. They know the Headlands area so well, and we got a lot of info about the area, the Marine Mammal Center, Point Bonita, etc. They were also very helpful in providing suggestions about other things to do/​see while in the Bay area. In general, I enjoyed the displays at the Marin Headlands Visitor Center as well; there’s also a small area that sells souvenirs, snacks, etc. If you’re a first timer to the Marin Headlands, the Visitor Center will help guide you to a great visit.

This visitor center has quite friendly and interestingly helpful staff along with excellent displays and explanations of the Marin Headlands and general area from the thousands of years the Coastal Miwok populated the area to the introduction of Europeans to the era of dairy farming through the military years to now. It also has good geological explanations and displays (think San Andreas Fault) as well as a lot of information about the area’s natural history, flora, and fauna. Of course, it offers quite an array of brochures, maps, and trail guides. It does also have a great gift shop full of fascinating books and gift items, including wonderful postcards. I bought a lovely hand-​thrown Golden Gate Bridge coffee mug in International Orange. Anyway, this is a really helpful and insightful place for starting out your visit to all of the glorious Marin Headlands!

Wonderful display and helpful counter volunteers? Grabbed a map, got info on camping in Headlands, and used outside restrooms!
Little shaded area with 4 – 5 picnic benches in front.
Converted chapel?

If this is your first time visiting the awesome place that is Marin Headlands, I would suggest you stop by the visitor center first.
From here, you can grab a map, stamp your National Park passport, and look at all the exhibits of things old and new. The park rangers are also very nice and helpful.
They also sell books, snacks, and some collectibles that a sentimental visitor will definitely enjoy.
If you need a bathroom break before starting your hike, they do have a decent one but the park have other bathrooms everywhere. So there.

Being unfamiliar with the trails, we wanted some guidance from the park rangers as well as grab a map as reference. The rangers were quite nice and welcoming. They were also helpful by recommending two paths given that we didn’t have the luxury of time on our hands during our visit.
Other than being an informational center, it was also a gift shop. They carried your typical souvenir items as clothing such as shirts and caps. Also, they carry snacks and beverages.
If you’re plan on biking, running, or hiking at Marin Headlands it is highly recommended to make a stop here. You wouldn’t want to get lost or miss spectacular views would you? We plan on hitting the other trails in the near future.

Nice little place to take a break from driving and hiking around, with restrooms, and ice cold bottled water to replenish. Nice staff, and cute little displays to look at. Very nice!

If you manage to make it here without hitting one of the little suicidal deer that you see hanging out along the road, you are in for a treat. This is a very well stocked visitor center with loads of books and information. They can answer all your questions about directions and destinations.

Upon arriving we were not greeted or asked if we needed help. So we looked around for 30 minutes at the displays, clothing and art work. I decided to purchase a shirt and we started getting all kinds of great customer service and recommendations from the clerk. All my questions about the Headlands were answered which made my experience here a good one! Hopefully the next visit will be just as good if I don’t decide to purchase something.

The Marin Visitor Center is warm, pleasant, and a great place to get advice or information about what’s here. And of course you can make a pit stop here. If you’ve made a Kirby Cove reservation, this is where you will pick up the gate key. I usually stop at this former Chapel either coming to or heading off from Rodeo Beach.
There are books (including maps) and snacks for sale too or you can stroll among the various exhibits which include: An introduction to the Headlands’ natural history and an investigation into the Headlands’ human history (Miwoks through modern times). That includes a Miwok shelter. You can also see how cramped the living quarters of the enlisted men stationed in the Headlands were. And don’t forget smell the native plants or to read about the daily life of a Point Bonita lighthouse keeper.

So here in this former chapel you can get directions, tips on hikes, peruse the books and see displays on the history of the Miwoks, the spanish cowboys, the military occupation and how it came to be that this special place was saved from development. Its worth a stop if you have not been out here before… or to learn a bit more in case you have.

The Marin Headlands Visitor Center is a warm and pleasant stop — nestled amongst the grandeur and beauty of the Marin Headlands.
On cold windy days you can linger in here for some hot tea, cocoa, or coffee (for a dollar donation) and browse their random informational booths and decent selection of Marin Headlands clothes and souvenirs.
There’s definitely an edge of randomness to some of their displays — but they’re still fun to peruse. They host everything — from a small thatched hut — where you can cozy up with friends, to a horse saddle balanced upon a wooden ledge — on which you can perch yourself on and go wild, to a small selection of fun hands on learning displays.
With my sister in town this weekend — this was an ideal stop to chill out and stock up on some snacks and some Kodak moments — before our outdoor day adventure.
Trust.

Interesting little store here which served us natives well as we failed to remember that we were near the ocean which of course means colder weather!
We went in looking for sweaters and quickly found a selection that sufficed, however there are no kids items except for a few T-​Shirts on sale.
HOWEVER, if you’re planning on hiking here and forget your sweater, be warned that the constant uphill hike will mean you will be taking off your sweater within 10 minutes! $ 24.95×2 down the drain! I can find some solace in the fact that my purchase helps preserve parks for the future or so the tag says! ;)
This appears to be a tourist stop as well as when we arrived there was a large tour bus letting passengers off for a potty break. Although parking is limited we had no issues finding any, but finding the actual Visitor Center proved otherwise. I wish I could provide tips, but I’m still turned around!
Happy hiking!

A nice little visitor center that will help you get your bearings. Fairly good selection of tourist type books based on the headlands, lighthouses, and nature. Displays tell a bit of the history of the area, Point Bonita Lighthouse and animals that you will find in the headlands. Rangers on site to answer all your questions. Public restrooms outside. Plenty of parking.
