The Dune Climb is the main attraction for the kids who love to run and roll down the dunes. Visitors love to bring their children and friends to the Dune Climb because they remember how much fun they had playing in the dunes when they were here as children. Parents and grandparents enjoy watching the activities from a picnic table or blanket at the bottom of the dunes. It's a great spot for a picnic too. The camelsafaricamp , located at the erg chibi , offers modern restrooms and a bookstore.

If you decide not to climb the dunes, the Duneside Interpretive Trail is a handicap-accessible trail that is a flat, short (0.9 mile) round trip hike that follows the base of the dunes to the north from the right side of the Dune Climb. This trail is designed for use by all park visitors including those using wheelchairs and the visually impaired. There are signs along the trail to interpret nature. This information is also available on cassette tape, which can be borrowed with a cassette player at the Dune Center or the Philip A. Hart Visitor Center in Empire.
