Things To Do
 

If You Only Have an Hour

Come inside the Interpretive Center and watch our 22 minute film. Spend some time looking at our exhibits which offer insight into what camp was like.

If You Only Have Half a Day

Visit the Interpretive Center to see the movie and exhibits. Then take the 3.2 mile auto tour around the site to experience the Manzanar landscape. Bring some water to keep hydrated and get out and explore. Rock gardens, foundations, historic orchards, and other remains await you if you explore on foot beyond the tour road. 

If You Are Lucky Enough to Have a Long Weekend

Manzanar is one of many exciting places to visit in the Owens Valley. Investigate our nearby attractions for ideas suited to any taste.

Did You Know?
Ansel Adams photographed the camp and in 1944 published a book. It was poorly received and sparked protests at the time. The book, Born Free and Equal, has recently been republished.
