Very soon, you will begin to hear how the new Northeastern Visitors Center is beyond awesome. And you will think “Oh come on, how cool could it really be?” And, as you are about to find out, the answer is: very. very. cool.

For this post, I’m going to assume that most of you saw the above picture and are ignoring this silly text, but for those of you that are sticking with me, you will get to hear about some of the little details that make the Visitor Center great.

The Visitor Center has been getting some rave reviews, which it completely deserves, so be sure to check it out for yourself! In the meantime, here are some more pictures:
