The Pea Ridge Visitor Center is located down the new entrance road from Hwy 62. Once inside the Visitor Center, there is a 28-minute orientation film "Thunder in the Ozarks." The park's film was produced in 2001. The park's museum was opened in 1963, but the exhibits have been completely updated as of February 2010. The park's Eastern National Bookstore is also located in the Visitor Center.

Getting there

When you drive into the park, on the entrance road off Highway 62, you will see trees on either side of the paved road. As you continue to drive slowly along this entrance road, on your left side the trees will open to a large grassy yard. Just beyond the yard is a large barn-like brown building. This building is the visitor center. You will slow down and turn to your left, between two large rock and cement signs that read Pea Ridge National Military Park.
