Grand Canyon Visitor Center

If you are entering through the South Entrance Station, make the Visitor Center your first stop. You can park your car in one of four parking areas, then get your first view of Grand Canyon by taking a short walk to nearby Mather Point. From the Visitor Center, it is also possible to Park-and-Ride. Leave your car at the Visitor Center, then board free shuttle buses and ride to Mather Point, around Grand Canyon Village, or out to a variety of scenic overlooks. NOTE: During busy periods, including spring break, summer, and fall holiday weekends, parking around the visitor center is full by 9:30 am. During these times, proceed to lots A-D in Market Plaza and the Village Historic District.
