The Visitor Center lies along the Scenic Drive in Bryce Canyon National Park approximately one and a quarter miles from the entrance station. This is a great place to begin your visit to the park as the park shuttles begin here.

Interpretive exhibits are housed here that describe the geology, human history and plant and animal communities within the park.
