Reviews
"Was pleasantly surprised to see the Canyon Visitor Education Center open in winter during a snow coach tour into the heart of Yellowstone. Very impressive (newer) facility and great information about the geology and wildlife associated with the Grand Canyon area of Yellowstone. Definitely worth stopping in to get the lay of the land. "On Aug 25, 2006, Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne helped Yellowstone National Park celebrate the 90th anniversary of the National Park Service and christened the park’s new Canyon Visitor Education Center, the first major visitor center development in the park in more than 30 years." Thank you. Until next time!"

"This visitor center was nice and had lots of information about the geology and wildlife associated with the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. It's worth stopping by to get the lay of the land before taking in the awesome views."
"Great visitor center with friendly and helpful staff as well as a sizable museum about the park and gift shop. I would definitely recommend stopping by for park information and the museum. The exhibits were easy to digest and provided a plethora of interesting facts and info about the park especially how it formed from volcanic and glacial activity."
"Definitely a must to visit to know what’s cooking around the area! We got here to know what to expect and where are the cool highlights of Yellowstone! Lots of parking and grocery store within walking distance to the car parking area!"
