“giant sequoias, meadows, and human history”
The museum is housed in a historic market in the Giant Forest sequoia grove at 6,500 feet (1,980 m) elevation. Explore exhibits about sequoias and learn why this landscape grows the biggest of big trees. Stop here before you explore the grove. During wilderness permit non-quota season, permits can be picked up at a self-issue station outside the museum.
Reviews
Lots of parts of the park close down for the winter, but not the Giant Forest Museum! If you're going to check out the Giant Forest Grove (as well you should) stopping here first will really prepare you for what you'll see there-- it may seem like a bunch of big trees, but it's really way more awesome than that!
Lots of educational material to explore at the museum and has a wonderful trail that begins and ends at the museum.
