Furnace Creek Visitor Center
During your Death Valley tour, you'll enjoy lunch, refreshments, and plenty of time to explore the visitor center, a cool oasis in the desert. Capture a photo in front of the iconic sign displaying the world-record temperature of 134°F and learn about the history of the Pacific Borax Company through the Borax exhibit, which details how they mined the element used in laundry detergents today. Don’t miss the “20 Mule Team” exhibit, commemorating the historic mule teams that hauled Borax from the area, now a symbol of the famous “20 Mule Team Borax” laundry detergent.
