The station is located inside Yavapai Observation Station in Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim.

How old is the canyon? How did it form? The exhibits at Yavapai Observation Station answer these and other geology questions. Displays include three-dimensional models, powerful photographs, and exhibits which allow park visitors to see and understand the complicated geologic story of the area. The historic building, located one mile (1.6 km) east of Market Plaza, features expansive canyon views. The bookstore offers a variety of materials about the area. Several ranger programs begin here.

Open daily 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Hours may vary depending on the season.)

The Yavapai Observation Station has its own shuttle stop on the Blue Village Route.
