“Arizona is a land of boundless beauty, rich history and vibrant cultures, and we are proud to spotlight our state on the national stage for America’s 250th anniversary,” said Governor Katie Hobbs. “This immersive experience gives visitors an engaging preview of what makes the Grand Canyon State so special.”
An Arizona Journey on the National Mall
The pavilion blends environmental storytelling and technology to move guests through three Arizona-themed rooms, including:
Antelope Canyon: A visual homage to the world-famous slot canyon punctuated by the famous light beams for which the area is known.
Ponderosa Pine Forest: A refreshing escape to Arizona's high-country complete with dappled light filtering through the canopy.
Stargazing over the Desert: A peaceful, Saguaro-cactus studded Sonoran Desert nightscape utilizing blacklights to subtly illuminate brilliant stars.
“We built this space to bring the heart of our state to the nation's capital, and we are so excited to share the beauty of Arizona with everyone,” said Alix Skelpsa Ridgway, Director of the Arizona Office of Tourism. “This booth is a vibrant celebration of our landscapes and stories, but more than anything, it's a warm invitation for visitors to come experience the real Arizona for themselves.”
