I went here expecting to see beautiful National Geographic photos everywhere, but that's not the case... Just a meeting spot for tours with a nice gift shop and an Imax show.
I agree with the last review. Not what I expected from National Geographic. Just an imax and a gift shop.
Nice gift shop. Very crowded with to tourist.
Just a gift shop, imax and tour meeting place. Wouldn’t stop unless you need to.
Not well indicated from the road. Drove from California to see the Canyon for the first time and they were closed by the time we got there, much earlier than stated online. Called and got a very long machine but no real information. Needless to say, we're very disappointed.
The IMax movie was ok... People nice and helpful at the desk.... The food court staff, not quite as nice and helpful.
