The Experience

What your day looks like

On the Grand Canyon bus tour you will be stopping first at the National Geographic Visitors Center & IMAX theater complex to watch the most viewed IMAX movie of all time, The Grand Canyon's "Hidden Secrets". Prepare to be blown away, as your IMAX experience will dramatize the adventure and discovery of the National Park, with thundering sound and breathtaking footage, giving visitors an exciting glimpse of what lies beyond the entrance. The IMAX Theater is one of the first of its kind ever built, and is designed to accommodate large groups in a comfortable, temperature-controlled environment. Effective January 1, a $100 fee applies to non-U.S. residents. This government-mandated fee is set and administered by South Rim National Park and is not included in the tour price. Non-U.S. residents are required to pay this fee at the IMAX Center kiosk upon arrival at the South Rim. Once paid, the entrance pass will be collected by the driver and presented to park entrance staff. Gray Line does not collect, verify, or administer this fee.
