Attraction

Yavapai Observation Station

About a mile east of the Visitor Center, Grand Canyon National Park

A 3D topographical map of the canyon is among the highlights of the Yavapai Observation Station’s exhibits, renovated in 2007. The colorful model plus panels explain the geology behind the canyon’s formation in ways that school-age kids can appreciate. The site also has scenic canyon views.
