What parents say

This is one of the most beautiful Welcome Centers I have ever visited. Amazing scenery and spectacular views over seneca lake. Well maintained with clean bathrooms. Plenty of outdoor seating and photo ops. You can take a stroll or just sit and enjoy the beautiful view.

Seneca Lake’s north end in Geneva has a different appeal from its south end in Watkins Glen. It is just as scenic. What is unique that they have inverted looking, stylish structures that shades Adirondack chairs.

Absolutely loved this Welcome Center. The place wasayes out nicely. Enjoyed the fountain out from and the decor all around. Spent quite a bit of time watching the video of all the tourist locations around the area. Beautifully set right at the top of the lake.

★★★★★ — Brian, Aug 2025

A great stop to rest, relax, and snap some pics! Everything is clean, quiet and well kept. I haven't purchased food or souvenirs inside but it is always busy when I swing by so that is a good sign. I mostly come to unwind outside by the water on lunch breaks or on the way home from work.
