How much time do you spend on Grand Canyon Skywalk?

On average, visitors spend around 20-30 minutes on the Skywalk, but you're welcome to stay longer if you'd like. Some visitors choose to walk back and forth over the bridge a few times to fully experience the sensation of walking on air. It's also nice to really soak in the view, without any rush.
