The Notch Visitor's Center is open daily from sunrise-sunset from Memorial Day to Labor Day. There are exhibits about the local flora and fauna, the unique geology of the Holyoke Range, and the history of the area. The Visitor Center is staffed with knowledgeable rangers, has parking, bathrooms, and picnic areas, and is also where several popular hiking trails leave from, including the Metacomet-Monadnock, which crosses right in front of the Visitor Center.
