I had to wait in line a 10 minutes to get one question answered. The video on the canyon didn't work.
There are many boards just outside the centre showing all the different trails and their levels of difficulty. Any further questions will be entertained by the staff in the centre itself.
We went to this visitor's center only in our second day. We regretted not going first thing in our visit. They have very good materials and explanations about the canyon and about the park. Good for the kids. There is also a nice movie to watch to (just wait for the next one when you arrive – it takes half an our or so). They have information about he trails and it's difficulty as well.
Had very limited time to visit the GC & the Ranger gave us a few easy options for our time + some tips on how to engage our young daughter. Ranger Paul made our visit!
Very helpful guides who mapped out our very short trip. They gave us great recommendations and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
The information centre were extremely helpful. We caught the bus up to some of the areas and walked back. the bus drivers have a wealth of information. A great day out and one of the more wonderful sights I have ever seen.
Very effective film show illustrating the formation of the canyon & the incredible geological formations. It also included history of the native peoples who inhabited the canyon.
The people who work here are so helpful and friendly.so glad we went inside.You can get a map and information booklets
Anyone who's been to the GC knows that you start at the Visitor's Center near Mather's Point. Free films and exhibits and restrooms. Short walk to the rim. Bus tours and shuttle service also available from here.
A great way to plan your day or trip around the canyon. The ranger was very friendly and informative and gave us some great insights re our visit. Well worth spending 20 minutes is so there before heading out.
