    Easy four stars for sure....we wanted to find out a little more about the area and Lake Powell's name sake. Lots of information from dinosaurs and prehistoric sharks to early era clothing and quite a bit about JWP regarding the survey of the Northern Arizona canyons and what not. Found some interesting information about the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons and how the were formed. We did the Lower Antelope Valley tour later that afternoon. Theres a gift shop with all kinds of stuff for history and kids souvenirs. There is a $3 donation for adults. Parking lot is limited to about six cars. Definitely worth the time.

    Cool place to visit because the museum is Free! It's a great place to get information about the city of Page and Lake Powell. Also the souvenirs cost less here than the surrounding hotel gifts shops. Make sure to stop here to learn about the history of the town and lake.

    I forget how I ended up at the Powell Museum but have held onto the pamphlet for a couple of years reminding myself to write a review. If you're visiting the Grand Canyon/Antelope Canyon you may find yourself here and it's worth stopping in. They have a great exhibit devoted to Native American history in the area, and the staff at the visitor center is reason enough to go. They are so knowledgeable and friendly, can give you a ton of insider information both on places to see and history. I definitely remember my interactions with them the most after all this time!

    This maker space is the most love filled, imagination sparking, gift to the community that could…read moreever be dreamt up. Huge thank you's to Tynkertopia's creator, because what she has made, will leave such a legacy in so many kids, and families lives!!! It was our first time in, and will not be our last. My little boy had so much fun crafting with free run of endless loose materials. Something about the place and it's wonderful staff just calms the nervous system, and lets you know you are in a safe space where everyone is encouraged and accepted. The way the staff reacts when your child asks a question, or asks for materials that are not out amongst the thousands that are visibly available is with willingness and kindness. They even went out to the shed to bring in stuffing for the craft my kiddo decided to make as a Christmas present for me. He felt so valued and respected...like his voice mattered inside of Tynkertopia, even though he's a kid. Another thing they do when you walk in the door that was so unique and adds to the feeling that you are welcome there is to give you a tour of where everything is and what's available to do. They introduce you to their fascinating Honey Ant colony, and you can even spot the Queen! Honey Ants are beautiful creatures. Tynkertopia offers nutritious snacks for hungry little tummies. The way they bring you in to this wondrous space makes you feel so at home. This is a non-profit and apparently they just won a couple of awards for (I think it was ) best things to do with kids, and best non-profit and they absolutely deserve both of those. Thank you, thank you for being so kind to us and selling my son the 3D printed spiral fidget for a kids price; because he...is...obsessed with it!!! We had the most fun ever, and are still in disbelief that a magical, yet so humble a space like this, exists. My kiddo says he wishes he could be there every day. To be honest...I could be there every day myself.

    My daughter loved it! They have so many cool things for kids and even adults to go and enjoy with…read moretheir kids! The environment is awesome and staff is so friendly and caring! Highly recommend!

    Carl Hayden Visitor Center at Glen Canyon Dam - Visitor Center exterior

    Carl Hayden Visitor Center at Glen Canyon Dam

    (79 reviews)

    First off, I love how large the parking lot is. It's rare that I comment on the parking situation,…read morebut given how many visitors this place sees (with a bunch of tour busses too!) I like how they split up the lots with overflow parking. The visitor center is pretty big. As you enter you can see a big area of exhibits that talk about the geology of the dam as well as how Glen Canyon Dam compares to other dams in the world. Quite ominously, there was a exhibit about the water levels and it hadn't been updated in years...the overall trend was that there isn't a lot of water now. You can also watch a movie in back, shop at the gift shop, and get more information about the dam and surrounding areas at the information desk. Don't forget to walk on the bridge nearby, although it can be a bit unnerving to have traffic whizz by with not a lot of distance between you and them.

    Stopped by Carl Hayden Visitor Center and Glen Canyon Dam during my recent trip to Page, Arizona…read more I had the opportunity to visit here before, and it never bored me to see the Glen Canyon Dam again and again. The Visitor Center has a huge parking lot for added convenience, and it's free of charge. Inside the Visitor Center, you'll find the exhibit with lots of great information and photos about the Dam. There's also a small movie theater, which features a short (30 minutes) movie about the story of building the Glen Canyon Dam. It's very interesting! There is a small gift shop with plenty of stuff to purchase if you are interested. The view of the Glen Canyon Dam is also so much better from the Visitor Center. I highly recommend it stopping by.
