Excellent Foundational Knowledge - This movie was an excellent introduction to the history and magnificence of the Grand Canyon. Highly recommend seeing it before walking the South Rim Trail.

Worth the stop! - Very enjoyable experience. Brought perspective and context to the Grand Canyon I had not been exposed to in the past. Staff were exceedingly professional and helpful. The shows are on the “half/hour”, I.e. 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, etc. Try to get in line early, best seats are in the middle of the middle of the theater!

Worthwhile break during the day with some interesting history - Great break in the middle of the day between hikes or tours and gives a different perspective on the park that you'll get elsewhere

Amazing historical perspective - We started our day at the Grand Canyon with the movie at the Imax. It was a great way to start the day. I loved hearing the history of the Grand Canyon and seeing the explorers who traveled so many many years before us. Amazing!

Nice movie (big screen!) about history of the canyon - Nice to watch before heading to the canyon. Provides back ground info on history of the canyon. Be aware; last screening is at 20:00 (8pm) and not 21:30 as indicated on website
