Jiminy Peak's Base Area includes a beautiful Village Center that addresses all of your needs. As you arrive and unload in the drop off area, you first notice the Paul Major welcome center. Inside you'll find the Guest Services desk, as well as a Renewable Energy Education Center. Across the way, the conveniently located Burbank Children's Center is home to Jiminy's SkiWEE and Explorer programs, and the Cub's Den Playroom. Up the steps to the Village Center, you'll find 'Just Jiminy' a logo store perfect for finding that vacation souvenir...
