El Centro, California Tourist Attractions

Parks, Museums, Sightseeing, ...

In Depth

El Centro's most notable attractions are its natural ones. The eerie Crucifixion Thorn Natural Area, the fossils left in dry lake beds, the mud pots bubbling along the road - these all as much a part of El Centro as its cultural heritage. After exploring canyon walls and mountain slopes awash with color, take in some of El Centro's historic buildings like Salvation Mountain's old army post and the old post office, or attend a show in one of El Centro's theaters.
