Itinerary tips

  • 1Plan to arrive at least 90 minutes early to enjoy the 'Canyon Tales' dinner buffet or explore the gift gallery before the show starts.
  • 2Bring a light jacket or sweatshirt even in summer, as the desert temperature drops significantly once the sun dips below the canyon walls.
  • 3Book the shuttle service from the parking lot if you have mobility issues, as the walk from the lower tiers to the theater entrance is quite steep.
  • 4Rent a seat cushion at the entrance to improve comfort on the stadium-style seating during longer Broadway productions.
  • 5Check the schedule for 'backstage tours' on select mornings to see how the massive sets and pyrotechnics are operated.
  • 6Stay for the post-show fireworks or water displays, which are signature finales for most major summer season musicals.
