National Geographic Visitor Center & IMAX Theater

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:26:01

Hourly, on the half-hour, the IMAX theater here screens a terrific 34-minute film called Grand Canyon – The Hidden Secrets . The recommended film plunges you into the history and geology of the canyon through the eyes of ancient Native Americans, John Wesley Powell and a soaring eagle, and is a safer, cheaper alternative to a canyon flyover.

See the website for details on scenic helicopter flights, pink jeep tours to the South Rim and a smooth water float trip on the Colorado. The shuttle here runs only mid-May through mid-September.
