Zion Human History Museum
Zion's former Mission 66 visitor center, reopened as a museum in 2002, shows artifacts and archival material from the park's collections about how water shaped the canyon and the people drawn to it. Exhibits cover geology, plants, animals, survival and community, and a park film plays inside. It sits about a mile north of the South Entrance, reachable by car or on foot along the Pa'rus Trail.
