Educational Opportunities:
Zion National Park is a wonderful outdoor classroom for school groups. Most groups visiting for educational activities will not be charged provided they are sponsored by accredited educational institutions. A fee waiver* must be requested in advance.
*Fee exemptions are granted to groups of students 16 or younger, accompanied by adult sponsors. Send a letter on official school stationary to the Fee Program Manager, Zion National Park, Springdale, UT 84767, at least two weeks before your visit. Include the number of students and buses, and the date and time of your visit. Fee waivers are granted to educational institutions whose curriculum relates specifically to the resources at Zion National Park. Applications may be obtained from the park by calling 435 772-0177. Mail completed applications to the Fee Program Manager (address above) at least two weeks before your visit. Include a letter on official school stationary which states the educational purposes of the field trip and how it relates to Zion. Recreational field trips do not qualify for a fee waiver.
