Tourist Trap! I expect a lot more from National Geographic - pictures, info booths, interpretive information... Something. Not just a tired, dated, IMAX film with sales people for tours. Skip this and go directly into the canyon to watch it's FREE film.

The IMAX film here was not impressive. The film is dated and centers around a flashback historical expedition, but it just felt like it was something old and reformatted for the big screen. The FREE film in the actual canyon visitor center was much more impressive than this one and I heard other people comment the same thing as we left.

Other than that, this center has the Pink Jeep Tours and the Papillon helicopter tour company strategical renting a both next to the cashier of the theater.

Again, I expected much more from National Geographic and have to wonder if their trademark is just being licensed here. No educational value for the children.
