New Zion Discovery Center aims to alleviate park overcrowding and offer tourists more hands-on experience.
Tourists won’t need to enter park to access and land is being donated by private owners including Zion Mountain RanchA Zion National Park Discovery Center will be built on private land on the east side of the park and visitors can explore it without paying to enter the park.Federal, state and local dignitaries gathered Tuesday to plant indigenous seeds they hope will help future visitors reap a more immersive experience.
“This space …,” Britt added, “will set a national precedent for experiential and immersive learning – a place where children are going to be able to feel the freedom of climbing on a rock and getting their hands and feet in the dirt … We are going to get them away from the digital world as devices and the pressures of social media.
The state is contributing $15 million derived from the Utah Department of Workforce Services’ Permanent Community Impact Fund Board. And the Utah Department of Transportation is pitching in $10 million to construct new roads. The Discovery Center, Superintendent Bradybaugh and others said, is aimed at extending the park experience beyond its borders and by educating visitors – especially youth – about the area’s history, ecology, cultural traditions and agriculture.“Young people are America’s future, and we all have an important role in developing them as well-rounded and knowledgeable citizens steeped in the cultural history of our country and in the value of public lands,” Bradybaugh said.
