Here tourists can visit many souvenir shops, grab a coffee or dine in a wide variety of restaurants, cafes and bars. We visited several places here, but in this video I will mention just 2 that we liked the most.
First one is the FeelLove coffee located at the Visitor center On the main road to zion park entrance.This coffee shop has not only a huge variety of delicious coffee, but also an exclusive and interesting Medieval interior. And also they have a lovely patio outside where you can enjoy your coffee in the shade of the trees.

Specializing in Utah TiffanyStone and all the great Utah minerals, crystals and fossils.
