    The Visitor Center provides the perfect opportunity to experience the incredible history and heritage of 5,000 years ago.
    Located in the village of Stenness, just over a mile from the cairn, the Visitor Center offers plenty of information and explanations about Maeshowe, as well as free lectures on Neolithic Orkney, held daily for eight time slots. Tickets must be reserved in advance with limited availability due to capacity numbers.
    In the Visitor Center you will also find a souvenir shop and sanitary facilities.
