What To Expect

Grand Canyon West

Make your pwn way to the West Rim where guests are provided an opportunity to experience the awe-inspiring canyon from many different perspectives. Please Note: Last ticket is sold at 4:45 p.m. from March to November and varies as days get longer or shorter going into and out of the summer. Please be aware that Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time. Thus, during the winter months, Grand Canyon West is on Mountain Standard Time and is a full hour ahead of California and Nevada, which are on Pacific Standard Time. When DST is being observed, beginning in March, the time at Grand Canyon West is the same as the time in Las Vegas and California.

Grand Canyon Skywalk

This 10-foot wide, horseshoe-shaped glass bridge extends 70 feet out over the rim of the Grand Canyon. Look down and you can see right through the glass platform 4,000 feet to the floor of the Canyon below. This engineering marvel offers unparalleled views of one of the world’s Seven Natural Wonders. Nervous about walking on glass almost a mile above the floor of the Grand Canyon? Have no fear—the Skywalk is strong enough to hold seventy fully loaded 747 passenger jets. After walking the Sky visit the Skywalk Gift Shop and pick up souvenirs to remember your walk and the grandeur of the Canyon.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

This place is a joke. Arrive and park and see a line to "get into the line to buy tickets". You read that right... I needed to get into an hour long line to get into another line to buy tickets. Prior to getting into the line, I asked an employee what the line was for (there was no signage). The response was a grunt and an expletive as he walked away. I ended up crossing the street and discovering that there was a way to purchase tickets immediately that would allow me to skip the ticket line. So... for $90 a person (access to the park shuttles and a meal), I got to skip the ticket line and go straight to the shuttle line. The line for the shuttle wasn't too bad (about 10 minutes) and we soon arrived at the first stop. The view here was amazing and you can alse enter a building that gives access to a glass horseshoe deck. However, there was an hour plus line to get to the deck. This is the winter and it is about 28 degrees outside and there were only 3 working heat lamps for a line with hundreds of people. The person behind me got a cup of coffee for $9. When he asked for a cup cozy, he was told that they were out. When he asked for an extra cup to keep his hand from burning, he was told it would cost another $9. What? We get to the front of the line for the view deck and a security guard asks to see my ticket. I was given a bracelet ticket with a bar code. I pulled back several layers of clothing to show the bracelet and was told to take off my jacket so that security could see the whole bracelet. Seemed kind of unnecessary since I was still 30 minutes away from the front of the line and the ticket wasn't needed yet. When I started to comply, the guard literally said, "geez, can't you move any faster?". This was about 10 seconds after he had asked me to remove my jacket in the freezing cold. Now we get to the glass deck. All personal items have to be stored in a locker so... no pictures unless you want to pay for the pictures that they take for $65. As I am about to go through the metal detector, one security guard asks me to come through. However, the 2nd security guard stops me and says to wait my turn. I pointed out, very nicely, that the 1st guard asked me to come through and she replied that she is the guard that counts. Huh? Finally, we wanted our included meal but the restaurants in stop one and stop two are both closed. That left us with only being able to use our meal voucher at the 3rd and final location. What did we find there... you guessed it, another hour long line in the freezing cold. Summary.... great views but very overpriced and a very rude staff. I would not recommend this location.

khanman415, We're very sorry about your disappointing experience. We are working to improve signage at the Ticket Terminals and the process of buying on-site to limit wait times allowing guests to have more time to experience the Canyon. We are also improving our communication to encourage more guests to purchase tickets online and skip the wait altogether. We don't allow guests to take electronics onto the Skywalk to prevent items from being dropped onto the glass and to regulate the flow of traffic. We want to be sure everyone has sufficient time to take in the views and enjoy the experience. We sincerely apologize for your interactions with some of our staff. We always do our best to provide quality customer service to all our guests, and we apologize that we failed to do so during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will be sure to pass this onto management so we can improve in the future.

The attraction is breathtaking. The views are great. You will have a lot of amazing photos. However, we spent an hour trying to get Grand Canyon West to honor the tickets. Apparently they are not familiar with viator and the tickets would not scan. After an hour on the phone with viator representatives the tickets still would not scan. we ended up having to re-purchase the tickets. Obviously, the tickets are more expensive when you purchase in site. We lost money by using this site. To add insult to injury, we have to wait 7-10 days for a refund. We were told that they need to "verify" that the tickets were not used despite the fact that the Viator customer service was literally on the phone speaking to the Grand Canyon West agents, in front of us about the tickets not scanning. Go direct to grandcanyonwest.com to purchase entry and skywalk tickets.

The Grand Canyon is an incredible sight, and the West Rim has phenomenol views, but it is a bare-bones operation designed to eke out as much revenue as possible. If you go in expecting Disney or National Park Service, you are to feel underwhelmed and ripped off. You might feel ripped off anyway, but given our country's history with Native Americans and their lands, I can't really begrudge the Hualapai milking theirs for all its worth. Below are more details about the experience. 1. GETTING THERE: We rented a car and drove from Las Vegas, the trip is a little over two hours each way. It's a beautiful drive-- Boulder Canyon and many other gorgeous mountain views, and "forests" of Joshua trees nearer the reservation. It is however a drive through a whole lot of nothing. Once you get out of Vegas, services are sparse, and once you leave Highway 93 they are nigh nonexistant. Plan your gas tank, stomach, and bladder accordingly. 2. ARRIVING THERE: You end up in a barren muddy parking lot with helicopters on one side and small planes on the other. When we got there the line to get tickets was huge, extending a long way out of the building in largely uncovered space. There are porta-potties available there, but they were nasty and out of toilet paper, soap, and water. There are real bathrooms inside the ticketing/gift store "building," so hold out for those if you can. 3. BUYING TICKETS: When you get inside the "building" (more of a large tent structure), there is a modern ticketing counter, gift shop, and real bathrooms. There are a number of ticket packages. The base ticket price that I saw online was $45, but at the counter it was $55-- that migh have been the difference in walk-in vs buying ahead, or it might have been a jacked-up holiday price (we were there right before New Year's). I am suspicious of the latter, as it looked like the higher price had been taped over something else. You could upgrade to a ticket that included the skywalk for $25 more ($5 savings off price I saw online), and/or add a meal on for another $14 (they were $17 to just walk up and buy). There were some other packages that included tours (helicopter, boat, etc) but we didn't have time for that so I didn't evaluate them. 4. FIRST STOP: Once you have your ticket, you line up to board a shuttle bus. It's only 5-10 ride between stops, on private land, so don't be afraid to pile on in for standing room only. The first stop is Eagle Point, where the skywalk is. There is also the gorgeous canyon right in front of you to look at, but views are better from the next stop (Guano Point). We didn't do the skywalk-- in addition to the extra $25-30 to go out on it, you have to buy any pictures you want of your experience-- they don't let you bring phones or anything else. There are supposedly lockers to put your stuff in, no idea how large, how secure, or how costly those might be. There is also a picnic area (some covered, some not), a cafe I didn't go into, and an amphitheater of unknown purpose. There were probably real bathrooms inside there somewhere but I didn't enter to know for sure. 5. SECOND STOP: The second stop is Guano point, with much more extensive viewing. The bus ride alone has canyon on either side and is worth paying attention to. Be sure to walk see both sides of the point-- either walking out to the end of just walking across to the far side. The view is spectacular in different ways from one side to the other, with the river being visible on the far side. The far end of the point also has the remnants of the old guano mine tram gantry, and some high rocks you can climb up on if you're feeling brave and want to feel like the king of the mountain. Again, though-- this isn't Disney. There is uneven ground and no safety rails, and no climbing path up the rocks. Unlike Eagle Point, Guano Point didn't even have rangers yelling at you to stay 5 feet from the edge. It does have another cafe, a picnic area with a covered portion, and real bathrooms. 6. EATING THERE: The only cafe options at Guano Point was their $17 meal and drinks (soda was another $4). I am guessing that Eagle Point had the same set-up but didn't see it to know for sure. The meal was real food-- there was the choice of roast chicken, pot roast, or a vegetarian Indian rice dish (as in, from India, not Native American), and each choice came with two sides, a bread product, and a salad. We ended up with the chicken dish to share to hold us over, and it was actually quite good. Given the long drive and sparsity of other option, adding on a meal voucher to your ticket is not a bad idea. That, or bring your own. Or live off the candy bar options in the gift shop (there were also drinks for sale there.)

Feathin, Thank you for visiting Grand Canyon West! The prices are different online than onsite; guests can save around 10% by purchasing their tickets online at least one day ahead of time. At the Skywalk, we don't allow guests to bring on outside electronics to prevent items from being dropped onto the glass and to regulate the flow of traffic. The lockers provided are free and are locked with a key that guests can then wear on their wrists. The cafe at the Skywalk is called Sky View Restaurant and is not included in the Meal Ticket plan; the ticket can only be used at Guano Point Cafe and Hualapai Ranch Dining Hall. It is a sit down restaurant with Casual American fare and floor to ceiling windows offering panoramic views of Eagle Point. There are regular restrooms available inside the Skywalk Gift Shop and at Sky View Restaurant, as well as at the third stop of Hualapai Ranch. Thank you for providing your feedback - we appreciate it!
