The visitor center contains exhibits (text in English and Spanish), a bookstore and a 10-minute introductory film available in English and Spanish. There is a 1.25 mile self-guided trail through Pecos pueblo and mission ruins. Guided tours are available to groups with advance reservations. Reservations for school groups and tour groups should be made two weeks before the visit. The Summer program includes weekend cultural demonstrations while the winter program includes tours of the nearby Arrowhead Ruin on Fridays at 1:30pm, Glorieta Pass Battlefield on Saturdays at 1:30pm, and the Forked Lightning Ranch House on Sundays at 1:30pm.
