Located at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, the National Geographic Visitors Center provides an in-depth look into the beauty and history of the area through a variety of exhibits. One major plus to visiting the National Geographic Visitors Center is that it houses the only official Arizona Office of Tourism in all of Tusayan, providing valuable information such as maps of the Grand Canyon.
Of course, the majority of visitors will be coming to explore the actual Center and not just a help desk. Exhibits on artifacts used during some of the first European explorations of the Grand Canyon, detailed models of the area and video games are just a short list of exciting attractions found within the Center. And for those simply looking to get to the heart of the Canyon as quickly as possible, you'll find an Official Pay Station at the National Geographic Visitors Center, offering special entry into the park.
