Echo Point Visitor Information Centre

Located centrally in the echo point location in Katoomba in the central tourist location with great surrounding views of the blue mountains range. Informative with numerous brochures. Souvenirs are available with beautiful postcards and other kids stuff.

Is such an amazing stop driving from Scenic World Blue Mountain carpark to this Echo Point!

Brilliant! They prepared all the information for different types of plans, even the things to do for rainy days' backup plans!

Dropped in here on Sunday to get advice about the walks.

The place was extremely busy, but the ladies were more than happy to help us.

They gave us the information we needed to complete the walk safely (due to recent landslides because of the rains) and we bought a map booklet to help support the centre and inform us about the walks.

Do yourself a favor and talk to the staff before attempting the trails.

Thanks

Amazing if you can see clouds or foggy weather! If not, nothing different to other lookouts accept for The Three Sisters:)

The gentleman in information centre definitely knows the area, he just needs to be more patient and friendly as visitors are not familiar with the area and they might have a couple of questions to be answered properly.

Crazy how you to pay nearly $5 to park up near the tourist info centre. Just to ask some questions about the area? You also have to pay for majority of the leaflets? Also a few walking paths closed still.

Denise was fantastic, gave us exactly the information on walks that suit us and other information as well. Great job, thanks

I went into the centre a few hours ago to get information about a ghost town in the Kanimbla Valley. The two men behind the counter had never heard of the place and couldn't help. I explained it was a shale mine no longer commercially viable and now empty. They asked the name of the town but I didn't know. I left without finding out whether the road to the town was passable in the wet. When I got home it took me 2 minutes to find out all about the town via the internet.
There is even a long article about it on the Visit the Blue Mtns website. It wasn't a shale mine but a silver mine and I still don't know if it can be accessed in wet weather. The town is called Yerranderie and staff at information centres should have it brought to their attention.

Echo Point lookout is on the traditional land of the Gundungurra and Darug People. Perched on the edge of the escarpment, in Katoomba and it has panoramic views of the Jamison Valley and the iconic Three Sisters.

It is the gateway to many great walks, from the easy pathway that leads out to the Three Sisters to the more challenging Giant Stairway which leads you down almost 1,000 stairs to the valley floor below.

If you have the time, Prince Henry Cliff walk connects Echo Point to Leura Cascades and takes you past many scenic lookouts along the cliff edge.

While you are there, call into the Echo Point Visitor Centre and get advise from a local on what there is to do and see in the area.

Car parking quite expensive, but the staff were incredibly helpful, and friendly, and told us about a beautiful walk to scenic world, which we did.

The Echo Point Information Centre is the perfect spot to step into to find interesting facts and things you will need to know about the surrounding area. They supply a large range of beautiful gifts and souvenirs, as well as drinks and a Ben and Jerry’s fridge full of ice cream. In cold rainy weather during winter you can also find gloves and scarves to keep you warm. The staff are super friendly. #letsguide

I'm hugely grateful for lady who helped me map out a hike across the six foot trail. My first time hiking on my own in the blue mountains and she provided some crucial advice on my planned route such as: the time it would take; conditions; remote camping spots and the recommendation of taking a beacon. Ended up swapping what would have been a strenuously long and less interesting route for a thoroughly enjoyable hike.

The shop has detailed maps of North, South and West areas of the blue mountains. Friendly staff all round.

Very busy information centre good variety of brochures, maps mostly of the local area Blue mountain's and surrounding area.
