Good for kids
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.

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
Very informative, convenient and best location
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.
Helpful but charging for information maps seams out of order . Regardless staff are very helpful .
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.
