Great views. Visitor center is nice. Trails for all level of hikers. Be prepared for sand in your shoes. It was strange to us the way you drove around town to get to different locations in the park.… Full review by christina b
Is this worth a stop for a few hours? It would be 2 hours out of our way but we love national parks. Looking to do the scenic drive and the visitor center. Not planning on any major dune hikes. Thanks!

Our family also loves the national parks. Since you said you do to...I'd say it is worth the trip. It is something to see for sure! I think if you visited the visitor center, did the scenic drive, and made a few stops (along the scenic drive) you would spend between 1-2 hours. We spent 2 hours and did climb the Dune Climb. You should a least climb the dune climb to the first crest...(about 20 minutes) so you can say you climbed the dune! It's an experience!

It depends on how athletic they are. Empire Bluff and Pyramid Point have some really cool views but have a lot of up-and-down big hills that can tire even an adult out. The dune climb is fun too if they're up for it, but it's not really a hike. I'm told there are flatter/easier trails (Windy Moraine Trail) but I don't have personal experience with them. The Visitor's Center could give you more personalized advice.
