New, Free Admission Visitor Center Coming To Zion National Park

(Zion National Park, UT) — A new, free-admission visitor’s center is coming to Zion National Park. Zion Superintendent Jeff Bradybaugh, Governor Spencer Cox, Utah Tourism Director Vicki Varela, and other local, state and federal officials and Paiute tribal leaders gathered on Tuesday at the site of the Discovery Center. It will be built on private land on the east side of the park where visitors can explore without paying to enter the park. On Tuesday, the leaders planted indigenous seeds to symbolize hopes that the center in East Zion will blossom, help safeguard the land, and transform how visitors experience the park and its surroundings. The Discovery Center is expected to open in 2025.
