We travelled to Grand Canyon West by rental car. Note that the 'America The Beautiful' National Parks pass doesn't get you into this one. Once you park in the car park you pay the general admission fee that everyone has to pay regardless and added the Skywalk as an option. This works out cheaper than deciding to do the Skywalk later as separate cost is higher. After purchasing your admission and any combo you can jump on a free shuttle bus that loops to firstly Eagle Point where the Skywalk is located and then to Guano Point before coming back to the start point. We had been to the Grand Canyon before and done the helicopter ride down to the bottom and jumped in a boat on the river before helicoptering back up and that was awesome but as we hadn't done the Skywalk we thought we'd try it out this time. Maybe our expectations were set too high with the amazing surroundings and our previous experience but we ended up a little underwhelmed. It's still good but we just felt it would have been better if located somewhere slightly better. The view through the glass floor to the canyon bottom wasn't what we thought it would be and if they could have made it further out into the canyon it would have probably been better. There's only a slight window of the river off to the side but the surrounding walls are still good to see. The Skywalk is located at Eagle Point but in our opinion Guano Point is by far the best spot at the Grand Canyon. More expansive views that include the river and if possible a bit more impressive in general. Not sure why the Skywalk couldn't have been built there. Obviously reasons but if it was at Guano then could've been an incredible addition to an already unbelievable natural must see.

This was such an amazing experience! We had friends visiting from Denmark and one of the places they wanted to see was the Grand Canyon. We were there on a September afternoon and it was perfect timing. We had a small wait time before stepping onto the skywalk and it was incredible until you heard music playing rather loudly! Why would there be music playing when you come to see this magnificent marvel in nature. You want to hear the wind howling or birds soaring by. The music was so irritating and when we said something to the photographers one agreed with us and another ignored what we were saying. Each group is assigned a photographer to take pictures since you can’t take a camera or phone with you. The photographer we got, Kari, was not personable or seemed to care about us, her job or the end result which was very disappointing especially when there were other photographers who were much better. As far as the skywalk, it is definitely worth doing and such a cool experience. After the skywalk, you take a bus to Guano Point which was also incredible because you have a 360 degree view of the canyon plus the Colorado River. We climbed into some rocks and stayed until sunset enjoying the marvelous coloring from the sun setting. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the full moon rose over the Grand Canyon, absolutely breathtaking!

Such a cash grab! So disappointed with the blatant attempts to squeeze you for every penny. The skywalk was ok but not worth the long lines and money. The only thing worth the trip was Guano Point where you were allowed to explore and see beautiful views autonomously. My advice to future travelers: just do general admission and skip the skywalk and Eagle Point all together. Go straight to Guano.

You are bussed up to the Sky Walk and then you get to stand in line. If you go in the summer months bring your own water. You can thank me later. Once you get inside to go out on the Sky Walk, you get to wear booties for your shoes. Once you are finally out there, it is definitely worth it all. The view is absolutely stunning. You have a problem with heights, this may not be for you. I needed to adjust to it but once I did, it was incredible. They do offer to take your picture which my friend and I did. We had some fun pictures with it. They do offer additional pictures of the Sky Walk in different weather conditions. We bought it. The grand total was only 50 USD. You get like 10-12 pictures of you and then additional 30 pictures of the Sky Walk to me it was worth it.

This is definitely a must do at the Western Rim. Our experience was very good, there was no line, just a few minutes of waiting. You have to wear provided covers over your shoes to protect the glass, and put all your belongings, including phones, into a locker. Views are thrilling, particularly on a nice clear fall day. It certainly is kind of a tourist trap, you cannot take your own pictures and so have to pay for professional picture package. The staff do a good job with throughput and photo taking and the pictures come out very nicely. Despite this aspect, it is still a very unique and fun experience. The glass under our feet was already a bit scratched, and we were told they have to replace it every few years. I would recommend the skywalk if you touring the Western Rim. If you can either overlook or embrace the commercial aspect, the views are marvelous and the experience breathtaking.

The plan was excellent, and the view during the drive to the park was breathtakingly beautiful. However, it's important to note that taking pictures on the Skywalk is prohibited as the company manages it. I suggest arriving early at the park to have plenty of time to complete the entire circuit.

Yes, it’s overpriced. Yes, there are lines. Lines for the bus, lines for the skywalk, lines to reboard the bus. Yes I did pay for the photo package, like come on, they were cool photos. I already spent $149 USD, what’s another $50. Beautiful views. Second stop at guano point had better views. Was it overpriced yes, am I glad I experienced it, yes. I’m on vacation, everything is expensive nowadays.

I visited on a day when crowds were small. I believe that is why my review may not align with someone who visited on a busy day. Those first few steps out onto the skywalk are a bit eerie but that's the charm of it. Shuttle buses taking you to skywalk and another scenic point were full but wait times were short. Wait for skywalk was about 20 minutes. I enjoyed myself. You see enough of the canyon views and the Colorado river without having to go into the national park. This plus a breath taking helicopter ride over the canyon is a great way to see the canyon.

It's my second visit to the Grand Canyon having been back in 2004. A lot have changed there is now a sky walk experience. As I was visiting on an off peak period (December during a weekday) my review reflects my own experience. I note a lot of negative reviews however I did not experience any queues and I did turn up at 3.30pm just an hour before closing time. I did not book in advance (you may need to on a busier period). I drove to a car park where you go inside the store and purchase your tickets. At just under$70 for a general admission ticket not cheap. At this point you board upon a bus which takes you to the skywalk location (10 minute bus ride). At the site you can walk around and take in the sheer beauty and there are plenty of opportunities to take great pictures. With regards the Skywalk you go inside a building and you have to put your phone and any camera equipment you have in lockers. You then have to put on shoe covers and you can then walk onto the glass outside. It's a surreal experience you feel so vulnerable. I chose not to take any photo package but rather just wanted to enjoy the experience. Once done you can hop onto the bus and it will stop off at another site (Eagle Point). This for me was my favourite part you can climb a couple of rocky mini hills and you get the great vantage points and here you can take the best pictures and stay in the location without pressure. A word of caution no rope barriers here and I did see some foolish people trying to get a risky picture right on the edge. Please do not do this as rock can crumble and it can get windy. Overall a truly memorable experience.

I see a lot of negative reviews. But, think about this - you spend 50 bucks per person to enter the park. and 20$ to experience the engineering marvel skybridge... so why not just do it and mark it off the list? i mean you went all the way there and hold off the bridge for 20 bucks extra? If spending 20 bucks extra is too much, i would suggest you skip 3 starbucks drinks to compensate. January happens to be not so busy, so got on the skybridge in 15 minutes and stayed on for 45 mins. definitely worth it for 20 extra. Did the meal as well. good to sit in the lounge which overlooks the canyon, have your meal and soak in the natural beauty. Guano point is breathtaking, but i could only spend 45 minutes over there. If i was not on a tour, i would have spent couple hours to soak it in. It snowed a little while i was there at Guano point and that experience is surreal as well. Climbing the little mountain kept us warm and snow really didnt spoil the experience at all. There's no wind interestingly! Eagle point had a lot of wind, but not guano point. Not sure why!
