In its busiest season ever, our Welcome Center at Rockefeller Hall greeted more than 31,000 visitors this year—an increase of 29% from the 2023 season. Visitors came from all fifty states, more than fifty countries, and six continents!

Run entirely by volunteers, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to the fourteen individuals who kept the Welcome Center running seven days a week, from early May to late October.
