Detailed History
The Zion Inn was designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood and finished in 1934. It was altered in 1974 for use as a nature center for the park. It originally served guests as a cafeteria, dining hall, and gift shop. It was also the office for guests staying in adjacent cabins near the present-day South Campground. Today the building hosts children's programs and other campground activities.
In the 1959 Green Book issue, the address is listed as: "Opens May 15th to Oct. 15th."
