The driver, who was wearing his seatbelt, told first responders he got confused when trying to park and the SUV went through the glass near the visitor center front doors.
Owens said the damage to the building is superficial but repairs will be necessary. The visitor center remains open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
He said drivers should always be vigilant, even in an empty parking lot.
“We’re really lucky no one was injured,” Owens said.
