Zion Human History Museum

Once the park’s main visitor center, the museum houses indoor exhibits focused on the human history of Zion. Step out to the back patio for a dramatic view of the West Temple and the Towers of the Virgin. In front of the building enjoy views of Bridge Mountain. Ranger-led programs are offered seasonally. You will find a rotating art exhibit and a Zion Forever Project bookstore selling park-related merchandise. While parking is limited, you are permitted to drive your vehicle to this point making it an ideal location for sunrise, sunset, and stargazing.
