35 Best Stops Between Cedar City and Boise (2024)

Excellent Museum! The secret camera video captures taken by one of the camp residents and is played here alone makes the drive to the museum worth the visit. Seeing everything in person sheds so much light on how life would have been living within the Topaz camp. So glad this museum is here to preserve this history.

Beautiful! Thank you to Jane and all of the volunteers that initiated and have kept this place going. If you have not been, put it on your list.

Thanks to the tour guide, Scott, for the enthusiastic expound. Love how you explain things and the history. Also thanks for caring us as we are not English native speakers and gave us extra explanation when the words might be culturally difficult for us to understand.Strongly suggest to watch the videos before walk through the museum.Admission is free but donation are suggested.

It’s about the 120,000 Japanese-Americans, who were forcibly relocated to Topaz, UT with only three days notice. Two short films in little theatre and a large museum in back with authentic dwelling. I’d put aside 1-2hrs but if you don’t have that time at least watch the videos (10min each). Truly impressive museum!! The hidden gem that’s not about gems. Free but donate at least $1.

I loved learning about the WWII Japanese Internment camps at the Topaz museum. It's a dark part of our history that if we don't remember, we'll repeat the same mistakes again. It's unfortunate that we had the constitution in the 1940s, but we justified taking away the civil liberties of Japanese Americans because it was popular. This is an important history to learn. If the museum has legal right to do, i would have liked to buy a stack of post cards with the art that was on display as a reminder of the prisoners. It's common in art museums to sell post cards of the art that was displayed.

This is a beautiful museum! All of the artifacts and information are well presented and the volunteers who run everything are fantastic! I highly recommend a visit to the museum and out to the site of the internment camp. It's a very informational, eye-opening, moving experience.

This was a fantastic museum, I wish I had more time to look at all of the exhibits and artifacts and read all the placards. You be surprised the amount of knowledge and history in this little museum! And it serves as a great memorial to those citizens who are forced to settle in the city of topaz as Japanese internees during World War II.

Awesome museum. It is important to remember history. good place for kids and adults.

This place was amazing. The guides were so knowledgeable and so personable. They shared so many amazing stories. They took us out to topaz site and helped us understand what happened there. We took our extended family group who where not to excited to do a museum but afterwards they said it was one of their best experiences. It will change the way you see the area and the people. Thank you for doing such an amazing job to honor such amazing people who experiences such hardship.

There are two short videos to watch, followed by various exhibits within the museum. Visitors can walk through a barracks and half of a social hall that was used as a boy scouts area, which was located outside. The actual Topaz site is about 15 minutes west of Delta, off- site of the museum, though tours can be arranged. Guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The information was sobering to realize what happened in our country. The exhibits show both the positive cultural events that continued to occur within the community and the negative reasons and effects of how this happened. The museum does request a donation and does not allow food nor drink.

Great museum and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had a group of 20 and came in right before closing but they were so gracious and answered all of our questions. I grew up in Utah but had never been or heard much about Topaz. Highly recommended going here to learn a little about our country’s history

Sure its a black eye in American history but important to know and respect. Great museum and the curator was very knowledgeable.

Very pleasant surprise while passing through Delta, Utah. My first thought as I drove by was that this might be a museum dedicated to the local geology of the area, since Topaz Mountain is nearby and people still look for Topaz rocks there. Boy was I wrong.I learned very quickly that this museum is dedicated to the treatment and housing of over 11,000 Japanese citizens at the Topaz Japanese American Internment Camp just a few miles outside of Delta during World War 2. It was an eye-opening experience.I appreciate the staff who directed us first to two short films that gave an introduction to the Topaz camp. After that, we were able to spend considerable time walking around the beautiful museum, taking pictures, and reading as much information as we could from the various signs and placards. The message was clear: This camp, and the others just like it, violated the civil rights of the people it housed. At Topaz, at least one detainee was shot and killed as he tried to escape. Others suffered through unimaginable conditions after being forced to leave their homes in the Bay Area of California.Later, we were invited to go out to the actual site of the camp. I must thank our tour guide (Scott) who drove the lead vehicle as we took our vehicles in a caravan out to the site. We were able to listen on our phones as Scott spoke and directed us to where we were going.Scott provided very insightful comments and clear knowledge of what actually happened at the camp and the conditions the detainees faced during their time at Topaz. In addition to the wind and blowing sand, he made sure we realized just how cold it got in the winter and how hot it got during the summer. Of course, there was no air conditioning out in the brutal desert. I believe Scott communicated the brutality and the desperation quite effectively.It was also interesting during the tour to see some of the re-constructed houses (and portions of the hospital) that are now relocated to Delta. I truly enjoyed my experience at Topaz Museum.

I was shocked when I visited the Topaz Museum at HOW AMAZING IT WAS!!! I grew up in Millard Co, but didn’t know much about the Japanese internment that happened here. The museum and the volunteers who helped there taught me so much! Visiting the actual site was interesting too, but the museum is where the real experience lies.

Wonderful details of a tragic history we have here at Topaz museum. I highly recommend the tour at the interment camp as well. You’ll need a reservation if there are groups of 10 or more but there is a sad history we need to learn about our past and the staff here does a wonderful job.

I chased the 2023 eclipse to Meadows Utah and stopped in at the Topaz Museum in Delta afterward. Recently I read a memoir by Charles Innouye, a son of Japanese Buddhists who were interred at Topaz. Charles is a professor of Japanese literature at Tufts, and writes compellingly about the impact of his family's experiences, including Topaz, on his development. The museum is housed in a nicely designed building on Delta's Main Street. They probably had their busiest day of the decade with eclipsers but were professional, informed and engaging. The films and the excellent exhibits provided a good background for understanding life at Topaz, though the site itself has no historic infrastructure left. Understanding the impact on the residents begins with some of the artwork in the museum collection, but there are also excellent books available for purchase that will provide a richer interpretation of the place. Worth the drive if you are in Central Utah.

Fascinating place. So glad we made the trip out.

This was a great museum with free entrance. There are all sorts of artifacts from the internment camp, including a building that has been relocated to the museum. There are a couple of video presentations and lots of displays. Delta is definitely a little off the beaten path but well worth the trip.

Very interesting! I was unaware that this happened in our history.

This museum is very nice and well done. The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable on the topic of those Americans that were forced to leave their homes and livelihoods on the west coast for several years to remote places in the United States because of their Japanese descent during WWII. This museum and the remains of the interm camp 15 miles west (picture) are stark reminders of how prejudice, unchecked, can even violate our own constitution and Bill of Rights. I love my home state of Utah and I love the desert, but the location of the camp is a hostile environment. I could not imagine being ripped from my home, my neighbors, my personal business, with thousands of other people that "look" like me, a citizen of the United States of America, and placed in this God forsaken location. Teach our children and their children about history or it will be repeated.

We came down to see an exhibit, and yet again, I'm impressed by this museum. It's such a good blank canvas AND a beautiful space on its own. They had an art project (making book marks) going on in the basement, so we joined in, and the staff is amazing. They were all kind and helpful. The children's intetactive space in the basement is great-- blocks for building, puzzles to solve, play food and Cafe area. We loved it all!

I adore this museum. The architecture and history of the building alone is enough to keep me coming. Entrance is FREE, so make sure you drop a couple dollars in the donation box! Make sure you go upstairs! There is SO much to see. The exhibits are always beautiful, complex, and intentional.

Such beautiful, breathtaking works of art in here. I'm glad there's no entry charges, it was so calm. Would be nice to see more pieces inspired by other religions and cultures, there was a good amount of diverse but a loooot of Christian pieces. Still they were all very gorgeous. Glad I stopped by :)

Visited a couple times and adore this museum, it’s beautiful art, kind staff, and architecture. In fact, I loved it so much we had our wedding reception there! It was perfect in every way. A great price for a wedding venue, perfect space (indoors, I love the courtyard), large kitchen for food prep, kind and helpful staff, overhead music, a TV for our slideshow, beautiful spaces for pictures, galleries that guest could roam, and perfect setup by the staff before. I can’t recommend this place more!!! Pictures below!

The museum is very beautiful, large and spacious! It has an exhibition inside and outside, so if you want to enjoy a moment in peace I recommend you go to the garden. It has a special floor for children to play and has other activities to do. It has a gift shop if you want to buy something, it is suitable for wheelchairs, since the corridors are wide and they have an elevator.

Wonderful art museum! Besides the permanent exhibition there are several galleries of current artworks many of which are for sale. The museum has an elevator and ramps to be handicap accessible. I am so glad we stopped to visit. Even my reluctant companion enjoyed it! entrance is free but it's recommended to leave a $5 cash donation per person. Worth it!

This is the best art museum in Utah. It has a nice mix of local art and art masters. The Soviet art is truly unique. And believe it or not, it's free!! Never busy.

What an incredible venue! Fantastic and friendly staff! Barely any decorating for our wedding, plenty of room for all of our guests! A kitchen and separate entry for our caterer. We got so many compliments on this venue! Highly recommend! :)

Beautiful art museum! Free entry. Not too crowded when we visited. Rotating exhibits with a variety of mediums (paintings, quilts, sculpture garden) definitely worth a visit! Makes for a good date activity too

Breathtaking.This place is incredible. We drove the 45 minutes from salt lake not knowing how this place was going to be. I brought my teen daughter who loves art and I adored that the bulk of the main floor is art done by teens in high school. Every turn uncovered something more amazing.This building is the true gem.. the floors, the walls, the lighting, the windows!! That spiral staircase?? GOODNESS.!!We will be back. For what. I don’t know. But I can’t wait.

My sister and I have been looking for hidden gems to visit and the Springville Museum of Art is a must see. With multiple rooms of different styles and aesthetics and a statue courtyard, you’ll wonder if you’ve walked into a movie! There’s art here for everyone. If you prefer traditional, modern, oil, acrylic, bronze, porcelain, pottery, paper, photography or anything in between. Great atmosphere and a great experience.

I photographed a wedding here and I AM ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with Springville Museum of Art and their outdoor venue space. I love that the couple can choose where inside or outside they want to hold the ceremony and any room inside is beautiful. At Jessica and Jay's wedding they opted to have a standing ceremony in one of the gallery rooms instead of seats and there they shared their vows. Then we went outside for dinner, dancing, desert and their send off. It was such a beautiful space and I was so impressed with all of the great photo spots, the staff and how perfect everything felt!

We took our bridals here and it was so magical!! The museum is well kept and the staff was very friendly! The beautiful art pieces and galleries, as well as the architecture alone make this a place you should definitely visit!

Very quaint art museum. Loved the exhibits and the building itself. Make sure to check out the garden, they have a pristine vine-covered wall

It was so beautiful! One of the most amazing art pieces I’ve seen. The colors and the atmosphere was just too good. Great place for pictures.

Spectacular, insightful and full of beauty.I loved the fact that there were places to stop, look, and be filled with amazement at the talent shared.

I love the Art Ball! I look forward to it every year. Great dinner, super good music, fun activities. If you aren't going to the museum during the Art Ball, you don't need to worry about tickets (most of the time), you can just go. They also have a lot of other programs for people to participate in throughout the year.

If I could give it more stars I would. I was totally surprised by the amount of art and the quality of art in the museum. I will definitely go back!

A great variety of art displayed in a beautiful setting. Very enjoyable, quiet and I can’t say enough about the building, that in itself is beautiful to look at. Free admission, can’t beat that!

I enjoyed the gallery space at the Springville Museum of Art. I wasn’t able to explore the first floor because they were installing a new exhibit but 2nd floor had just enough content for me to spend time with. The Inherit collaborative collection was very interesting to view. I found this art museum a great place for beginners to come explore. The collection isn’t too big to be overwhelming, the plaques and descriptions come with questions to help people think about art in new ways, and they have unique, niche collections. I thought it was so striking that SMA has a whole Soviet collection of art and I really enjoyed viewing those pieces. I definitely think if you have the time you should take a visit to the Springville Museum of Art— they have much more to explore than one may think!!

I personally wouldn’t recommend attending BYU if you intend to grow your knowledge and self as a person. This University is appropriate for sheltered Young Adults that would like to remain that way, without experiencing diversity and different ways of thinking.

Life changing to be a student here. Academically rigorous, many great research opportunities, and some of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve ever met. The university has its pros and cons, but I consistently see evidence that the institution and many of the individuals here really prioritize the well-being and growth of the students. There are great paid-research opportunities for undergraduates. The campus looks amazing and in the spring it’s just unbelievable. There are some great study spots for all of my different moods — you can study by streams, ducks, instrument displays, statues, terraces, museums, lounges, etc.

Walking this campus will always spark great memories from the past, and make new ones. Our family loves visiting whenever we can. I hope the school and campus continue to be an inspiration to its students and alumni.

First game BYU against Arkansas Razorbacks!! Utah people are over the top generous amd kind.

Very bad experience - zero stars for customer service (I am not talking about testing department, which was very helpful for their area). We enrolled a high schooler into a credit recovery (2 part course, each 60 days), and the timer started on both at the same time (no warning when they charged me for two courses at the same time, I guess it all is in a small font I missed). Not only we lost $ for part two we did not even open, but we cannot extend or enroll again for a year. Hence we lose a whole year. Customer service (phone and email) was useless, zero empathy as well. Beware and may you not need their help if you are enrolled.

Well-rounded university focused on undergraduate education. They offer incredibly valuable and affordable bachelors degrees with lots of career and resume building opportunities for students. The mission of the university is definitely focused on student success. It’s a super fun and friendly college environment and atmosphere.These are my honest opinions after attending 4 years here and graduate school at a different university.Go Cougs! 5/5!

This is one of the best Universities in the entire country! Not only do they teach great academics, but is one of the few that hasn't gone completely rediculous woke! The Wasatch mountains just behind it are some of the most beautiful as well. Football games in this stadium are so fun and the backdrop is breathtaking!

A beautiful university. I would recommend scheduling a tour in advance if you can schedule one. I walked around the campus but found it harder to explore on my own. I think a tour would add further insight and information on Brigham Young University. It was a beautiful day when I visited, and I was very impressed by the campus.

Despite my grievances with what I perceive as religious overreach into students' personal lives who decide to explore beyond the permitted bounds of thought (and at a time of educational enlightenment which can encourage such exploration), BYU is a phenomenal University, and the overall experience and value of the education for its price, and despite its setbacks, is remarkable. The faculty are truly empathetic and care of their students: few are researchers dragged to teach classes. Grading was fair, in my experience. Student culture was positive, safe, social, and accepting. I couldn't have imagined a better college experience.Research and service opportunities were rich, and the campus was beautiful. The tuition was incredibly fair, and student services were effective and supportive. Some students joked that "the campus is our world", but given how great campus is, I don't see a major problem with that!That said, I disagree with the permitted interplay of systemic issues and power dynamics which can be harmful to spiritual health, at least as I experienced it. Yet, the unique and usually wonderful environment at BYU might not be possible without heavily enforced religious bindings.BYU is the best in many ways, as long as you only ask the permitted questions and know you'll remain that way. Science degrees can produce unexpected changes in one's outlook. All things considered, I look forward to visiting again! It is Eden.

BYU is one of the most amazing places to attend school, and to work.The caliber of people you associate with leaves you filled with hope for the future. A very beautiful campus, with wonderful kind people everywhere.

Cleanest, most beautiful campus I've ever been on. The students are more respectful than most also.

Great location, great professors, great education. Would highly recommend. For those concerned about it being owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, some of my best student friends were Lutheran, Catholic and Muslim. Anyone can have a great experience there and get a world class education at the same time. I became a better and more capable person because of my time as a BYU Cougar. Wouldn't trade the experience for the world. "Enter to learn, go forth to serve."

Great university! Amazing value for the price and I liked how it included a religious education. I have many fond memories of lots of classes that I took (in the psychology and business departments). If you’re looking for a school with high moral and ethical standards, then this is the place for you.On the other hand, BYU might not be for everyone, to be honest. There is a strict honor code that all students must live by to keep a good standing with the university.While there is always some room for activism to change the university's honor code standards, BYU is a private university and may not be required to make such changes.If you're looking for a university in Utah Valley that does not hold students to the same moral standard as BYU, then Utah Valley University may be a better place to look for an education.At the end of the day, I think that this is a great place to study for anyone who is looking for academic rigor, a religious education, and a university that holds a high moral standard.Oh, and if you like chocolate milk, there's a lot of that. And there are lots of nice mountains that are right behind the school.

I never imagined how much this place would change me for the better. The more time I spend as a student here, the more I realize what a gem it is - the education is incredible, the people are genuinely good, and the campus environment is inspiring. I would recommend BYU to anyone looking to elevate their education academically, socially, and spiritually.

I went to school here for my bachelor's of science in electrical engineering. I love the campus! It's so clean and beautiful. The rankings change and speak for themselves but I've realized that often it's even better than the national rankings. This is because this school is a undergrad teaching focused school. We don't have the large state funds of other schools for research but we have some of the finest education in the world!

Brigham Young University has been voted 21st of the prettiest college campuses. It is a stunning campus nestled beneath the gorgeous Cascade mountains with the huge Y on it. BYU is known for their high standards in academics, integrity, and morality. The campus has beautiful landscaping, the buildings are kept up nicely and are beautifully designed. The student housing is new and nice. Great place to go for further education.#most_beautiful_University

Outstanding university with a talented pool of students. Situated in one of the most breathtakingly scenic locations for a university campus, with stunning mountains on the doorstep of the school, your walks to class will be often awe-inspiring. There has been a lot of updating on the campus. Make no mistake, this is a unique environment that won't be for everyone. But for active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or those who like the clean-cut environment, it is a great place to get an education. Though it has a well-deserved reputation as being very conservative, you will find a lot more political diversity here than you expect on many issues. And with the majority of students from outside the state of Utah, in many ways, it is more diverse than any other school in Utah, and less in the "bubble" than critics often claim. Great place to get an education. And the cost for the value is incredible!

Great experience and worth the visit . Make sure you view the falls from both view points. Pool water is fun for the children to play in and throw stones, but water is cold. Great story behind the falls, read and let your mind imagine.

Trails were fun, pretty easy and flat unless you want to go closer to the top of the fall then it’s pretty steep and recommend hiking shoes and be cautious. The lower trails is a nice walk fresh air. Be careful around the river it can be very dangerous.

This a beautiful place. Nice hike along the River and has a several water falls. This is a nice ares to come with you hall family. It has picnic ares. Just a beautiful place to spend the day.

A great stop between Provo and Park City. Beautiful drive, easy to access the waterfalls and nearby trails. Restroom near parking. Overall just gorgeous.

Anyone can do it. It’s a short walk, about .5 miles on a paved path from the parking lot. However, we tried climbing up to the falls and it was pretty sketchy, so be careful.

Beautiful water falls and the colors during the fall are breath taking! Take a ride or walk down the trail that connects, or fly fish in the stream!! You’ll love it!

We drove into Provo Canyon to take a look at the falls. There is a trail that is fairly flat and some other trails that go up close to the falls. There are several parking lots to pick from. It was very beautiful to see.

Visited Bridal Veil Falls Area in May 2023 Beautiful Falls, However with the Heavy Run- off from the Major Snow Utah received this Year. The Park portion was closed, along with the River. But you could still take in the sights from the Parking Area

Great views!Also a very fun experience to hike up the falls. It's a rocky path with loose stones, so tread carefully. The water also tastes very refreshing!

We just went and it's mostly closed, major avalanche. We hiked up it for a bit (not recommended, very dangerous) and to get to where the path used to be we were on top of about 30-50 feet of snow. Definitely wait until it's cleared before you plan on spending time at the falls.

This is a nice little hike. It is always much shorter than I think it will be to the falls though you can keep going beyond. Be very careful with children and animals.Dogs are supposed to remain on leash. There is a flowing river and the current can be deadly if someone falls in when the water is flowing rapidly.There are a couple of picnic tables. They have a handful of port-a-potties (which are kept pretty clean) and a dumpster in the parking lot. My sister says you can rent e-bikes to take along the trail. The kids always have fun getting sticks.I got there at 9 am on a Wednesday (Juneteenth) and there was plenty of parking. Not sure if that is always the case it was fairly busy by 10am. With the parking filling up.

Towering falls, surrounded by majestic mountains, worth the drive depending on where you are driving from. Took us about 45 mins from Park city, lots of twists and turns as part of mountain driving, just watch out for the left turn to the falls from the expressway, or you will miss it.

Pathways, trails, and main parking lot still closed from avalanche. The falls were glorious, as always, but the best view at this point is the viewing area further up the highway. You can still park inside the main gate and walk to the picnic area and enjoy the river and trees. No bathrooms. The debris flow is going to take months to clean up, and the upper part of Old Provo Canyon Road is in a serious state of erosion. Watch your step and don't try to hike on the unstable avalanche leftovers.

🏞️Breathtaking waterfall no matter what angle you view from. We just chilled at the bottom but apparently you can climb up towards the top and along both sides too. Only a short drive up the canyon and well worth the effort going. Simply #BeaUTAHful

Just a short 15 minute drive from Downtown Provo, Bridal Veil Falls is a must visit. With an easily accessible pull off and trails, visitors can spend a whole day exploring the area. Currently under an avalanche, but still as scenic as ever.

This place is gorgeous! I went early in the morning, so there wasn’t a crowd. It was beautiful.

Overall, I had a really good time hiking up to the waterfall! It's been a few years, so I was excited to see what's changed. One of those changes being that there's some construction fencing up at the base of the water fall. I'm not sure why, but it does kind of detract from the experience a little bit. Since it's still cold outside, there was some snow and ice left on the trail, but not so much so that it made the hike hard. I will say that the view was very beautiful and definitely worth it for the short little hike. I will say that it probably would have been better to go a little bit later in the day when the sun is up higher because being in the shadows was a little on the chilly side. Anyways, fun little hike that doesn't take too long and still lets you get outside!

Beautiful waterfall with great trails accessible to anyone for viewing. The remaining avalanche debris is definitely drawing a crowd

Well, it was a beautiful day to go when I headed out there on May 9th, 2023, but it'll be a while before anyone can get reasonably close to the actual falls. A massive avalanche has essentially wiped out the path, and while you can technically hike on it, I wouldn't recommend doing that.

Unbelievably Amazing water falls! They are huge. This place is amazing for kids and adults. Great place for family's who want to go on walks or those aggressive bike riders! One of the best parts is that the falls are right off the highway! Makes it easy to get to and get some amazing pictures. You can hike up to be closer to the falls and get an even more amazing view!

Definitely a great place to get out and walk around when the weather is nice! I walked along the Provo river trail that goes past the falls and it's a very easy walk. I also got to walk into the falls a little and it's so beautiful. Truly a gem local to Provo.

The staff was amazing. The lodge is a bit confusing at first but there were plenty of workers to help guide you where to go. The ski school was probably the best I've experienced so far (I haven't experienced many to be fair). The runs were fun. I will say there is probably more for more experienced riders. It's also reasonably priced! And free parking too with a shuttle that brings you to the lodge. One downfall is no snowboarding.

as someone who enjoys a bit of pampering now and then look no further. if you want that and more head to deer valley for some of the best skiing in one of the most sumptuous settings with the most attentive and friendly service i have experienced. lovely hotels, delicious meals and powder, powder, and more powder await. we could not have been happier that we made deer valley one of our ski destinations in a state that offer so many. thank you utah, we'll be back and we'll spread the word for sure!

Family friendly ski (only) resort. This place was so much fun. The best groomers and a great balance of greens/blues/blacks. I found the weekday traffic to be lower than other places so there was plenty of room to roam all day. Would do again.

My friends and I had the worst time at another resort (Park City Mountain). Kind of glad because we would never have gone to Deer Valley otherwise. For a first time ever in life skier, it was a fantastic experience. Smooth process checking in. We got ski lessons. Instructor Todd was the best!!!! All staff were kind and patient with us newbies. Thanks so much! See you soon!

Went for some mountain biking and it did not disappoint. I’m new to the sport and this was by far my favorite day on my bike yet. I hate pedaling and having the lift was amazing. Tidal wave jump track is so enjoyable. If you haven’t ridden here yet, it’s time to change that!

Best ski resort I’ve ever been to. Amazing service, food, and the runs are great! The groomers get a lot of the blues and all of the greens groomed almost every night, and the blacks are amazing for more advanced skiers! I personally enjoyed the blacks over by the Mayflower lift, but they’re super hard, so unless you’re an advanced skier, I wouldn’t try them! The lift lines can get super long if you don’t wake up and get over there early enough, so make sure you’re over there and getting your skis on BEFORE Carpenter and Silver Lake open. Anyway, this resort is amazing, and it’s kept me coming back for 8 years!

Though the base lodges can give you the impression the place is super crowded the mountain is big enough so skiers are spread far and wide. Like Alta this resort is skiers only. Lots of great trails for all abilities. Lines for the most part are short to non existent... during the week at least. We don't do weekends.

This review concerns the skiing activity at Deer Valley. My son and I skied here on a snowy Friday and enjoyed it a great deal. We parked in the free parking and took the shuttle provided up to the base, which worked well for us. The high-speed lifts get you lots of vertical and the staff are very professional and capable. We enjoyed a delicious lunch from their famous cuisine. Lunch hour seating was at a premium, however. My only complaint is that the lifts gather at the top of the ski runs, which means you may end up at the bottom at the wrong lift....

My favorite Utah resort on a “bad” snow day. Runs are always very well maintained and groomed. It’s a huge resort with tons of lifts.It’s very well staffed, and the staff care a lot about your experience.It’s a great ski resort to check out if you are 1. a local with an Ikon pass or 2. made of money.5/5!

We didn't stay at the property, we just ate there. Excellent service by some fun Jamaican servers. They always add a fun spice to your experience. Other than the fact that it was ridiculously expensive, it was fun.

We love the resort for skiing. It is a skier only resort, so no snowboarding. There is a big enough variety of terrain for all levels. The cafes have good food options, and the service and staff are all friendly and helpful.

So much to do! All museums are fun, so an annual pass is a must for us. If you don’t have kids, it’s probably less fun. Great for party venues or wedding receptions. We live close by so we like just walking the grounds. It’s so pretty in the warmer seasons.

Great place to bring family friends and burn some energy either outside or inside. Even adults can be entertained if you try. Is it expensive? Yes, so we bought season passes so we can come back again and enjoy seasonal events. So depending on what and where you live you may want the season passes or just visit one attraction. If it is for kids then visiting the children's museum is a great option. Looking for something outdoors then visit the outdoor garden. If you want to learn something visit the butterfly exhibit. Lots to do and learn!Check out my other specific reviews, posts, and pictures to learn about each individual attraction.

Always enjoy the Tulip Festival at Ashton Gardens. I am impressed with their ability to maintain such a large property and to make it inviting for all every year. I also learned that most kids really like the two animatronic dinosaurs that have been placed near the entrance and are being allowed to eat the tulips. Of course, I did hear one of two kids start to cry when the sound effects recording started playing. I'm sure I will be back next year.

My new favorite place on earth to bring my family! Thanksgiving Point is absolutely magical. The employees have all been so friendly. Membership is 1000% worth it. We love all the different things to do. The food is awesome and reasonably priced. I am just completely in love with this place and their customer service! We will be making memories here for my children's entire childhood. It's a good thing I am a total kid at heart,too. Thanksgiving Point has something for all.

So much to see from acreage of live gardens and bronze statues, to indoor bug exhibits, The imax screen and dinosaur exhibit, and the butterfly biosphere. Enjoy live outdoor performances and theater st the Amphitheatre. Visit Thanksgiving gardens at different seasons and enjoy different flowers. The coy fish pond is fabulous. The employees love to share knowledge of everything around thanksgiving point. Lunch or breakfast with your family or treat your employees and host a meeting in any of their meeting rooms.

We had a lot of fun visiting a couple of spots around Thanksgiving point for my son's birthday. We loved the farm animals, the butterflies and the dino fossils. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the amount of unsupervised kids running around: scaring the animals, stepping on butterflies and throwing sand everywhere at the little kids. It's upsetting to see how stressed the animals and workers looked... not sure why parents would allow their kids to treat animals so unkindly.

Great place to take families and dates! Been coming here since I was a kid and still love it. Plenty of events happening that range from child to adult! Most recently went to Utah's Ren Faire at Thanksgiving. Such an amazing experience!

The membership here gets you into multiple venues. This is great for kids as you can change up where you are visiting so its always new and interesting. The facilities are great, and the staff has been very friendly. Can not recommend enough for parents looking for educational and active things to do with the kids.

So much fun! A wonderful environment for learning, and just all around good vibes. We came since I was a little kid, and now as an adult, we drive 12 hours to come visit it when occasion permits.

Thanksgiving point is a very awesome and unique place! I’ve never been to a place like this before! There is a wide variety of activities to choose from! The Dinosaur park and the farm animal experience was alot of fun! In the dinosaur park, the animatronics were awesome! Kind felt like we were experiencing Jurassic Park! The kids absolutely loved this place! We will definitely be back again. I highly recommend this place.

We decided to come here without planning our day but we were not disappointed! There was plenty for our little one to do.We choose to do the explorer day pass and it was the better value with access to all 5 venues.They had fair food options in the deli restaurant, I would still recommend to pack some water and snacks if you are taking your kids.I have heard they switch the themes of some attractions seasonally. The park is still expanding, there is still, construction and parts not accessible.Overall we had a great time here!

Best place to take your kids (and kids at heart) without them getting bored too quickly. Annual membership a must. Weather doesn't matter either. They have lots of extra activities that are educational and fun. Personally, I love the ancient life museum and their vast fossil and dinosaur collection. Their staff are friendly and helpful.

Thanksgiving Point is always developing and adding to the experiences for families. They have provided years of education, discovery, and joy for my young children. I support this organization and all they stand for. If you're thinking of getting a membership, it is well worth it. My personal favorite yearly tradition is the Tulip Festival!

We visited the Butterfly Biosphere. It's a magical place where you can view butterflies in all stages of life, see incredible plant life, and even spot a fairy garden.The life cycle of a butterfly is taught through posters and actual observation. This is a great learning opportunity for adults and children alike.

Went for girls date. It was only 50% bloomed last weekend so they gave us free tickets to go back during the season. Even tho it was only 50% bloomed, it was still pretty and able to take lots of cute photos.

Thanksgiving Point during the holidays has the most beautiful lights display I have ever seen. Its called Luminaria and is done so beautiful, it really does feel magical.There is also a fire and ice show that plays every 15 min, live reindeer. The music that is playing, the warming huts, the food hot apple cidar, hot cocoa, mini doughnuts, pretzels, sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies. Amazing!

My friend and I ate at Harvest and checked out the Butterfly Biosphere. Beautiful location and so much to see. Great food at Harvest, too! I forgot to take a picture of our Halibut Tacos. They're my favorite hands down!

One place with amazing things to do!! Museum, Garden and what not!! Very informative, well maintained and designed in a way to attract and engage children nurturing their curiosity. I recommend one of the top place to visit in Utah with kids

I’ve been going to Thanksgiving Point for many years since I’ve lived locally my entire life. They’ve grown the area to become a place that we love to take our family to. It doesn’t matter the time of year to take your family there. Depending on the season they will usually have a different event/attraction that you can visit. Always a great place to visit!

We got the explorer pass to be able to enjoy the exhibits for the day. We ended up making it to the butterfly biosphere which was fabulous! The museums of ancient life were interesting and well maintained as well as the museum of curiosity. The carousel was super fun and we rode it a couple times.

We've been coming for a long time with a membership with our kid. Just finished talking to Sarah at the beginning of the museum exhibit in the paleontology lab and we loved the Q&A she was doing. We were able to ask a lot of fun questions and got great answers 👍 wonderful program

Crowded but worth it. Gorgeous grounds. I’d suggest going on a weekday versus a weekend if at all possible. We arrived at 9am when it open on Saturday during the tulip festival. By the time we left at 11:30am it was so crowded we could hardly walk.

We went for the Tulip festival we were not disappointed. Absolutely stunning! I do recommend renting a golf cart, it was a lot of fun.

Definitely a quality place for a fun day out. I got the explorer pass so I could visit multiple museums in one day. I loved the butterfly garden and the dinosaurs of the natural history museum. As a single young adult I'm not really the target audience, but I still really enjoyed my time at Thanksgiving Point. I also ate lunch in the restaurant.

Nice area with pretty and quaint little shops, restaurants and art galleries. Perfect for a day visit. Had a nice stroll along the street with a few designated stops in some of the stores, and had nice chats with some store and art gallery owners. Had a good pleasant lunch in a taco restaurant, and an after lunch sweet bite in the local chocolate shop.

Whenever you're up in Park City you always have to walk along Historic Main. Be aware that this is a tourist location, so you're looking at higher priced dining experiences and somewhat overpriced goods. But if price isn't too much of a concern then you'll be able to enjoy local artists and galleries, bookstores and confectionaries, and some pretty tasty pubs and restaurants. If you're in Utah for the ski season this can be a fun place to hit after the slopes

Nice chill walk with lots of shops and restaurants to stop by

Leisurely walking around town. Lots of galleries, shops, restaurants. Visit the museum, worth the price of admission. (Cost of admission discounted with coupon)

Lots of good food and drink options, great art galleries and lovely sights. It is a public street with limited curbside parking and a nearby parking structure.

So much to do here, shopping, strolling, eating, drinking, live music, etc. something for everyone.

We love Park City. The people who live here are stuffy and rude but the town is adorable. It fun to walk around if you can ignore the locals.

A quaint little historic town with very upscale shops. They have a trolley that runs up and down the street and if you find hills a challenge. The trolley is free very informative and friendly

A nice looking town with lots of high to overpriced shops to browse. Got some good exercise walking down then up hill. It does have a trolley to help people out. Occupied a couple of hours looking around. Asked a shop clerk about public rest rooms and she rudely told us they were next door. They got the job done at best. It is interesting how such upscale towns have such poorly maintained facilites for people that are spending money in the town.

Wow, what a great little town to be in. There are so many galleries. Many great art and photography works. I can imagine this will be a great place to be when the skiers come back in the winter.

Cool town to visit. Lots of shops to check out. Great views. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, great coffee shops. Lots of souvenir shops too. There are quite a few local arts shops too.

Lovely City! Another place you should visit if you visit Utah. You should go during the daylight and night. Unique shops, art galleries, restaurants, and entertainment. The street was beautifully adorn with colorful lights and flowers. Would love to go back and spend more time on City Park Main Street. The whole city seen like a nice place to live at. Enjoy it!

Quaint with lots of stores. So nostalgic! True piece of American high desert ski resort.

Christmas snow globe tour was a little bummer. The website made it seem it would be a little more interactive. Some are spaced really far apart. Had a little higher expectations considering it is in Park City. The decorations on Main Street was cute. Loved the tree.We happened to be there the night Santa was supposed to ski down the slopes. No Santa unlike what the site claimed it was to happen. Big bummer for the kiddos!

Cute downtown area with plenty of shops, restaurants, local museum, public sitting, and public restrooms. And a real Bansky!

Such a fun place to walk, shop, eat, etc.

Cute but busy main street was packed so parking was hard to find when we found a spot we did pay for parking and visited the shops it was genuinely probably my favorite part of the trip.

Lots to do here with kids. My kids are 9, 7, and 3. They all enjoyed it. We weren't able to get to it all in one visit. But we were also only there for an hour or so. I feel like it is so fun especially if you've never been there before because there is so much to discover. But I also feel that for some of the exhibits we will quickly grow out of them. I appreciate that for the jungle gym, parents can use a walkway to follow their kids all throughout. I also came here once on a field trip with 1st graders and of course they all had a great time!

This museum is not what I would normally think of when I hear museum. The interactive learning experience that children can have at the Museum of Natural Curiosity is amazing. We were able to learn so much science through play while here! The greatest part is that the activities here are fun for everyone which is truely invaluable when your kids are as far apart in age as mine are. We hadn't even made it out of the parking lot before my older child was asking if we could come back the next day!

Took a 12 year old and a Five year old and while there was definitely more for the littler kids to do, my 12 year old stayed entertained as well. For an extra ten bucks he was able to do a three story ropes course that lasted about a half hour!Plenty of helpful staff members around cleaning and maintaining things and it wasn't terribly crowded even for a Saturday!A must do in the hot summer or cold winter when outdoors activities are limited but you still need to burn energy. The cafe was closed but we hooked over to the Garden Trellis Cafe just down the road and had some yummy food!

We spent 5 hours here!! The only thing lacking was a mother's room. The staff showed me a secluded place, but it was right next to where kids can design an outfit, I strongly encouraged my daughter to design an outfit while nursing so I didn't look like a creepo!They could add in more water toys in the water section, my tot kept wanting to take the balls from the cloud area & bring them to the water section, he wanted to watch things float down with the water.The scavenger hunt was fun, they even got a prize for finishing, I loved that it encouraged them to truly look/learn.It's expensive, but I felt we got our money's worth!

Took my kids to this museum. They loved it. They have different themes. My kids loved the rainforest canopy. My son did the “canopy tour” he loved it. They have great food. Try to get there around opening time, you can find a nice parking spot and no wait.

Excellent children's museum. There's so many different things for kids to do. Family restrooms. Outdoor park. Nature Walk. The water exhibit is excellent. 4 starts because there's no place to nurse a baby and the cafe is overpriced.

This museum has a myriad of hands-on displays that are targeted towards kids. This place is very educational, and big on science. With younger kids; ages 3 to 8, you could easily spend several hours here. For the older kids and adults there is a ropes course that was very safe, and we thoroughly enjoyed this experience. This place can be a little pricey, and a little crowded at times, so I would consider checking to see how busy it is before paying. If it's not too busy, than it is totally worth the money.

After having an aquarium pass for a few years we decided to swap to Thanksgiving Point and wow! We have access to so many activities, places to go, and things to see! The curiosity museum is by far our favorite! Let me start by saying bring a swimsuit! The playground is huge! The indoor kid city is amazing! The “water park” is so much fun! Even as an adult I enjoy walking around.

The Museum of Natural Curiosity is a good place to visit with kids. It is a part of the thanksgiving point campus and is a well set up to host kids of all ages and their guardians.There are lots of different zones or areas in the museum, each focusing on a different theme. We had most fun in the gardens, with a few caves to explore and a huge pond with koi fish (and fish food at the front desk for an additional $2 charge) the fish pond has 3 viewing windows that provide a great spot to see the variety of coloured koi. When feeding them there is an all out frenzy, with fish splashing and jumping to get food. Seems a tad overstocked with fish but a fun experience.Inside there are parts for 0-3 year olds which gives littles a safer spot to play out the way of older kids.There is a great water section with lots of water games and toys to play with. The museum provides water jackets and water proof boots to not get your kid soaked.For older kids there is the canopy section, a section above the main museum that has rope bridges going from platform to platform. At the top there is another additional charge attraction where you can get harnessed up and do a climbing course.Overall, the ticket prices are the reason for 4 stars, it seemed a bit pricey per person for what there is to offer, but apart from that minor detail it is a great place for kids to come and explore!

The Museum of Natural Curiosity in Salt Lake City is a wonderful destination, especially for young children aged 1 to 12. It offers a wide array of engaging activities, ensuring that they'll be thoroughly entertained for an extended period. The diverse themes make for an enriching and enjoyable experience.

Now here is a REALLY FUN place to come for the day! Being the kids or the whole family! This place a wonderfully designed with things to do for all ages! You can do activities for kids and just play, or you can challenge your mind with building things. There is several different areas in the museum. The first a huge climbing area with ropes course type structures and a playground. The next is an air and water area where you can play with movements and directions of both air and water features. Next they have areas of education along with playing in a small town where you can dress up and play as a vet, mailman, bank, and like 6 other businesses. Then there is even and outdoor playground with a coy pond for feeding the fish! There are so many other areas to see here! Makes it so much fun and a good place to escape the heat!

Went with my wife, my daughter and my granddaughter for a Halloween event. I'm not much for crowds but decided to go. It was actually a very nice place with lots of activities of learning for all ages. The staff were all very kind and friendly. My daughter has an annual pass, so she brings her daughter regularly, maybe once a week. My granddaughter loves it.

We always have a good time at Thanksgiving point, especially at the curiosity museum. We played for an hour at the water work section, another hour at Argentina and display, and another hour at kidopolis. You could literally spend the whole day there. We like to go when it's hot outside or snowy. You're always going to learn a lot when you go.

This is one of our favorite museums throughout the country. It’s done very nicely and allows the kids a lot of room to explore and be curious!After visiting curiosity museums all throughout the country over the past year we place the Museum of Natural Curiosity in our top 5 in the nation due to its incredible displays, attention to detail, family friendly atmosphere, and kid centric focus.Our kids love every area of this museum and we continue to come back time and time again. Spend an entire day or just a few hours.Fantastic museum. Only wish it was part of a reciprocal program like ACM or ROAM.

Un sitio muy lindo para los niños, tienen diversidad de actividades, mi hija de 17 meses disfrutó mucho sobretodo el área de las aguas 🤗(Translated by Google)A very nice place for children, they have a variety of activities, my 17-month-old daughter really enjoyed the water area, especially 🤗

My 10 month old baby was in heaven here! There is so much do to and something for all ages. We immediately bought a pass and came back the next day! She got so excited as we were walking in the next day as she recognized where we were. Such a great option of something fun and enriching to do with kids during the day! And the annual pass is a great bang for your buck!

I had no idea this place existed but wow this was a hit with my 5 boys. Fair pricing and alot to do! Getting a family pass will let you do all the Thanksgiving Point attractions and for a whole year!

We had the most amazing time during the summer playing in the water section of the museum... Now that it's winter we love having a place that's nice and warm to bring our little one out to play.Also very appreciative of the WIC discount. I paid $6 for both my husband and I. Thank you!

I have 3 kids, ages 7 - 1, and everyone loved it. There was so much to do, we could have stayed all day. It wasn't too crowded when we got there(10am on a Friday), but summer camp groups showed up around noon and it definitely got busy! It was very expensive but worth it for us to visit once since we don't live here.

Lots of fun stuff for the kids, mine around preschool age especially enjoyed it. Most exhibits are indoors but there are outdoor areas too. There were a few exhibits or portions of them closed, but they seemed to be in the process of working on them & there was still plenty left to explore.There's a little Main St. with different "stores" like a magic shop, puppet show, music center, library & more. They were offering a craft lesson in one of these rooms so this section was extremely busy. It looked fun but was a little too much to attempt with a toddler & there was way too many people. Crafts & events are posted on the website's calendar if you want to participate (or avoid them).If you plan on letting kids play in the Language Lagoon section with the water features there are rubber boots & aprons available but I'd still recommend bringing a towel & maybe even a change of clothes. There are baby seats at the water tables especially for little ones so our toddler liked this area best.Our preschooler loved the climbing areas best. There's a big indoor area with lots of rope bridges & slides. Remember to bring sunscreen, outside there's a large space with construction type playground toys as well as a path that goes through caves and around a pond. There's a carousel & stage, which were closed but looked fun.I definitely recommend bringing kids & checking it out for yourself. Buy your tickets online to save a few dollars. Next time we are definitely going to get passes with access to other areas of Thanksgiving Point because we went through faster than expected, but the museum is a great way to spend the morning or afternoon.

It is a fun museum to explore and learn. My kids can spend hours here. There are baby and toddler areas. However I would say there is an age that the kids need to be to be able to explore and understand all the theme rooms.It is a little pricey but if you stay for a long time then it makes it worth it. I also would only go on a weekday. Way too crowded on Friday through Sunday.

This is a great place for all the kiddos. We brought a nine year old, 4 year old, and 15 months. They all had places they could run around in and also play with each other. I would recommend a change of clothes for the water play area. There isn’t a great bathroom situation. With so many kid in the place, there should be more access to changing stations. Also there may need to be some better enforcement of age restrictions in the toddler area.

Perfect place to take the kids. They will love it. So many different things to learn and play with. You can literally spend hours here. They have a cute little gift shop and a place to eat inside. They also have a outdoor playground and area to walk. Beautiful in spring and summer.

Love the Thanksgiving Point membership! This is perfect for all ages and we easily stay for at least two hours. We love the new exhibit and the water cycle ball drop near the water area was my one year old’s favorite. We always enjoy doing the rope/bridge course and my kids love getting to be in the plane. There’s so much to do so be sure to give your kids enough time to explore this museum. We always appreciate the kind and thoughtful staff!

Fun place for kids to explore. Some new upgrades and additions since the last time we visited in 2022.They have an awesome program where up to 5 children are free, if you have a WIC card. Highly recommend for families with children.

Always agreat experience, so much fun to do , so much to learn, a learning lab.Wonderful experiences. Learn and play.Outdoor with a pond , fish and play area is a must visit. It's an interactive museum geared towards children and families, with exhibits covering topics like science, technology, art, and nature. It's a fantastic place for hands-on learning and exploration!

It's a fun place for kids. They have so many things so the kids can stay active and use their imagination. My son could be here all day and not get bored at all or ask for the phone except to take pictures of him.

Neat place to check out even in the off season. We did the alpine slide and it was pretty fun. You take a ski lift to the starting point and it's a pretty long ride to the bottom. We did wish they had a ticket option that would give you more than one ride but we had a good time. There are multiple restaurants and shops to check out and several other attractions. City buses also stop here often so you could explore other nearby points of interest with ease.

We love Park City Mountain. Have been skiing it for years and used to have a place there. Not 100% thrilled with the Vail takeover. The Epic Pass is great. They paid parking is not! Coming from out of town, we didn’t have people to carpool with. One day we had to pay $45 to park in the garage. It’s a bit extreme I feel. Most of the people who work there are nice. The snow is usually wonderful. All positive points there. But it is getting very crowded, likely due to the Epic pass phenomenon. So harder to get away from people. We’ve decided to try a different location next year for our annual trip, for the first time in a long time. Stay tuned. ❄️❄️❄️⛷️⛷️

Amazing routes. All skill ranges. Relearned boarding the hard way. Spent a couple days on Park City Mountain. Highly recommended Canyons Village for Intermediate- Advanced as it’s always a little less crowded with the kiddos and beginners. Or stay near the tops of the peaks and send harder routes. Favourite had to be monkey powder (black) where you ski through some tight forest and tree line. Can get very skill heavy.Had amazing fresh powder and snow days the week of Christmas through new year.Routes in the morning were a little delayed on opening. Cause of heavy snow fall. If you’re going to park at the base of the mountains by the lifts plan on getting there early, like 7:30am. Gear up and get in line by 8. Otherwise be prepared to be behind hoards of people in line for the base lifts.

I am extremely happy with my experience here! I am still learning how to ski, while my boyfriend has been snow boarding for years, and we were both able to enjoy the mountain together. There were tons of trail options available for all skill levels and the maps were easy to navigate. One of my most absolute favorite things about Park City, and the reason I’m writing this review, was the staff! Starting from parking, to the season pass office, etc, we were greeted with friendly staff who were more than willing to answer questions. I was AMAZED with the hospitality provided. The park “hosts” greeted us on the mountain and even on the lifts, giving us all the great tips and tricks to make our day fun. There were multiple occasions where we weren’t sure where to go, and all we had to do was turn around and find a person in a red shirt who happily gave us direction. Even the mountain safety staff was beyond kind! Special shout out to Jeff in the mountain safety team - I was moving slow at the end of the day and he took the time to make sure my boyfriend and I were okay and safe as we made our final run down the mountain. So far this is my favorite ski experience I have had and I can’t wait to come back. We even saw moose at the end of our day!!!! So cool!! 10/10 highly recommend!!

Awesome place to ski! There is definitely something for everyone. We personally, preferred the Canyons side. It's more open with more runs and less crowds. PC is also Sno-Go friendly and we had a ron of fun riding them down the slopes. We will definitely return!

Not worthy of even 1 star. Disgusting, rude and unprofessional customer service at the ticket office by Darrell Evans. This man should not be allowed anywhere near paying customers!!! I will never ever set foot in Park City again. The lift lines were over 2 hours long, Yes 2 hours!!! See the photos...you pay $264 for a day of skiing except you don't ski, you spend the day in long, long lines just to get on a lift. The prices are super expensive. For example, a half day ticket will cost you $211 for 4 hours of skiing. DONT COME HERE!!! GO SKI ELSEWHERE!! MR OWENS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSING SOME VERY LOYAL CUSTOMERS AS WELL AS OUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS!! LEARN TO BE RESPECTFUL OR GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS! Park City, shame on you for taking people's hard earned money to have them stand in line for hours. And...for hiring someone like Mr. Owens to assist your customers. He should be taking out the trash that way it matches his professionalism! Park City your loss is Jackson Hole's gain! BYE BYE BYE!!!

Excellent place for first time skiers! The mountain wasn’t crowded on Wednesday or Thursday, and we were able to get right on lift. The routes were great because even at the top of mountain you could take a green route, so as a beginner you could still go to top. Homerun was THE most fun route, 3.5 miles of cross country turns and then some steeper slopes with the best views EVER! The snow was well maintained and powdery, a perfect spot for beginners learning. The whole lodge was convenient and easy to get around walking in your ski boots (parking, food, rental equipment, bathrooms are all in main building at bottom of mountain).

Nice little town, specially if you are a skier ⛷️ we stay for two nights at the Marriot mountain vacation club, and enjoy the time and place. Restaurants are a bit pricey and during September to November many places closed down. People are friendly, if you are a skier you will enjoy a lot this place and probably will pay more than we did as we stayed during the off season.

Park city mountain is my favorite mountain. It is well maintained and it's huge. The free shuttle system is absolutely incredible. This has been my second year traveling out west to visit this mountain. It's always a blast and there's many bathrooms and places to eat all around the mountain

So, I’m definitely more of a Brighton girl, but Park City is starting to grow on me. It’s truly a different experience every time you’re there. I mean, it’s so big, how can it not be?? If it’s your first time here, I’d recommend starting at Canyons Village. I just think it’s more fun over there. Work your way over to the other side of the mountain if you need to. The coolest part about that side is the Town Lift, which takes you right into town. And, there’s a free shuttle that takes you to each base, so you can get lost and still make it back to your car.

Wether you are a beginner skier or a pro the Park City Mountain is the ideal place to hone and practice your skills. They feature one of the longest in the USA green runs -3.5 miles long. It’s a perfect place for the beginners and families with small kids. They even have a small ice rink. Although I saw four years old kids navigate blues like no tomorrow. The ski school offers all day long kids lessons, half a day adult lessons or private instructors. All together the resort employs over 100 instructors. The ski area is endless, they have so many slopes with various degree of difficulty and the Epic lift pass also works with the Canyons near by. You can spend a week hear and still not to hit all the runs. The resort ski area features many equipment rental companies but if you rent from Legacy Sports Rentals you can valet your equipment overnight. Also keep in mind that locker rentals are on daily basis only but if you need to store helmets and boots overnight you can rent a valet cubby right next to the lockers. There is a plethora of dining options, all pricey as expected at places like these. The quality of food versus prices definitely needs improvement. Vending machines are selling water for $5 a small bottle. After a weekend of skiing you will be ready to sell a kidney to cover the cost. All of the staff working the resort: ski valets, instructors, rental personnel, administrators were helpful and friendly. If you love snow slopes and snow sports and have some expandable cash Park City is the place to be.

Omg to much to say! Library and its cafe was great! I loved their activities and food. And all the small art shops are beautiful! Definitely a highlight! Don’t forget Roots! The small clothing shop is great! We go every year!

Only have great things to say. We were comparing where to go skiing and boarding and park city fit our needs the most. Staff are awesome and helpful. The atmosphere, views and people make Park City a special place! From beginner to advanced this mountain has it all.Go during Sundance, ZERO crowds, no lines!

DISGUSTING ATTITUDE AND POUR COSTUMER SERVICE FROM “manager” DARRELL EVANS!!! HE HAS TO BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!CAN NOT EXPRESS ENOUGH WITH WORDS HOW ANGRY WE ARE RIGHT NOW AND HOW DISRESPECTFUL THIS PERSON TREATED US!!!Came to ski ( from Miami Feb 24th to 28th ) in Canons and Park City, but due to the incredible amount of people ( pictures/videos attached), we couldn't do much. We arrived early ( Saturday the 25th ) and started the line for the gondola at 8:30 a.m., and after almost 3 hours in line, we were able to get in the gondola to start the day around noon!Almost four hours in the morning were wasted making a line and using a gondola just to encounter hundreds of people making more lines for chairlifts.We paid ($250 plus tax per day, almost $270 ) for a full day of skiing and we only got maybe 2 hours of skiing.Some chairlifts close at 3:30 p.m. as well. We are coming from out of state and we are on vacation for only three days of skiing.When we arrived at the ticket window and explained our concern to this employee, (”manager”) the lack of arrogance and audacity was beyond insolence. He did not care about anything we were saying. He was not willing to help us in any way and was making fun of us.Here we are on our last day of skiing and wanted to ski for half a day and the price for a half-day ticket is almost $230!!!! The full price is $250, ridiculous!After the explanation that was provided to this employee, he refused to assist us in any way. When I asked if I could take a picture of his name tag, he offered to pose with a thump up and a big smile! That was when we lost it!I don’t think I can describe the frustration!!!I don’t understand why this company has this kind of employee working for them.Extremely disrespectful and unprofessional!!!We could have paid for half a day, but his attitude ruined the whole experience and we decided just to leave. This place is not worth it!!!Not coming back again to be treated this way!Darrel Evans’s supervisor was not helping either. After we left for a few minutes, we needed to speak to Darrel’s supervisor, but he seemed not to care either!WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN!!!

Great customer service. I got locked out of my account, and they got me back in immediately. The slopes are great and there are a lot of tracks. I've had a season pass here before and I was happy with the variety of park, tree, and regular runs.

6 of us skied last weekend and had a wonderful experience. All of us various levels so skied green to Double black and all enjoyed the runs and variety and size of the resort. Food was excellent. Shuttles to mountain from main St Park City to Canyons was convenient and easy. Many lifts were fast. Highly recommend. Beautiful weather

I'm not a skier so we bought non-skier gondola lift passes up the mountain. Really spectacular views. The mid-mountain village was a great way to spend a couple hours chillin. Definitely recommend.

Went up here for the 4th of July parade and “drone show”. Can I start with kind of a joke. We have come before and had an absolute blast. This year the parade was over run with electric bikes running everywhere about to hit pedestrians and acting like they owned the walking paths. Could not even enjoy the parade because the bikes would continually be riding back and forth as if there was no parade going on. Complete lack of control. The parade could not even finish because people decided they were done and would just start walking in front of the floats. Kind of a joke. But we thought drone show will be great that will end our night on a high note…. Well we walked ten minutes to get to the golf course to watch. The show lasted maybe 7 minutes and it looked like a kindergarten class chose the images. Complete and utter joke. I was in Saratoga springs 3 days ago that had one of the best fireworks shows I can remember. Definitely will not be back for the 4th of July again. Amateur hour

Awesome! The food and resort was amazing! It had many choices of food, and places to go! The skiing was great; it had ski runs for all levels. It is a little pricey but it was worth it!

Love PC!! Great terrain, Well maintained equipment. Attentive staff. I always feel safe here. Food is good Apres Ski is excellent. Thos is one of the easiest trips from airport to lifts that you will find.

Winter. 23/24 updatedFirst of the ski season and we are looking forward to seeing 👀 what the ❄️ will bring!!I posted the early season prices.Absolutely 💯 amazing.I'm coming up to the largest ski area in the United States. The lifts are top notch and the crowds are mitigated by the express online order and outside expedited fulfillment.On the high valley transit system, you can visit the rest of the best ski resorts in America.Family friendly, plenty of facilities that use zero waste toilet 🚻s.I recommend you go see for yourself.I'm sure you're done with any other resorts.Summer is not a down time for the resort either. Just went with my girlfriend to the adventure park.Longest Alpine Slide in the country with a mountain coaster as well!!!!

Beautiful breathtaking resort. We had gone early December, so more than a few runs and lifts were closed because of how early it was. But there were plenty of blues and greens to keep us busy and challenged for our level.Bus system was straightforward from the main mountain to the canyon side, but was fairly confusing to get back and accidentally went the wrong way. If all the lifts were open though you could get there via lift.Not crowded. No waits. Well maintained slopes. Overall, really great

I had an issue with blisters on my ankles after day 1, the ski patrol picked me up in the golf cart and took me to the first aid office and bandaged them up so I could enjoy two more days of skiing. I even got a snowmobile ride back. Q was super helpful and really takes his job seriously. I will be skiing Park City and the Canyons again next year. Thank you Robert E.

Expensive resort. If you want to pay the premium of $300+ day pass by all means go ahead. Please do your own research well before entering the resort. I suggest checking out other alternative resorts for better pricing. There are way cheaper resorts that are near Park City that are $50-$100 for a day pass. I paid about $300 for a lift ticket without a lesson. I only went to this resort because I thought they had price options for the beginner slopes with the magic carpet, but they did not. It was too late to go elsewhere by the time I got there. Beautiful place and friendly field operators. The customer service on the phone was degrading me during the call. He was sarcastic, rude, and made remarks. He was not helpful at all. I definitely will not return to this resort and not recommend it to my family and friends due to my experience with their office customer service.

Had a great time! I just wish that the green hill wasn’t the end of other runs. You have lots of beginners mixed with more experienced skiers. I’m sure they won’t change anything over this review, but just for anyone who is at a beginner level I would look for a more beginner friendly mountain.

Cool place to see a show! The parking has a tram lift right to the show (both free), and all the staff were cheerful and mellow. Their jumbo tron setup would be better served with either larger screens or more close-ups ( between the stage and 2 screens you often get three near-identical views).

Make sure to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏᴍ when booking any resort. This web site will compare hundreds of booking web sites and usually will have rooms much cheaper compared to others! Thank me later! This place is one of the best in this area. I've been coming here for a long time. If you stay for a few nights you definitely won't regret it.Wonderful food and great selection. Has a awesome pioneer and western theme and ambience. Great for the whole family. A little expensive but well worth it.

Don't forget to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏm when booking a room. This site will compare hundreds of booking websites and normally will have prices much cheaper than others! Thank me later on! This hotel is one of the best in the area. I have been coming here for a long time. If you decide to stay here you for sure will love it I'm sure!Very nice place to spend a summer day if you're looking for a great way to relax outside. Great food at Red Pine, fun hikes and biking trails, and some disc golf if the mood strikes. Very mellow and underappreciated.

Awesome location for skiing. We stayed at the Hilton Sunrise Lodge located in the village, which was really close and walking distance to the slopes. It is very convenient for skiing. They offer a shuttle service to other trails at Park City Mountain Village and Main St. Go to Main St for shopping and dining. Be sure to stop at the " No Name Saloon! So cool!

No cleaning service but towels available. Only drawers were the night tables and tiny drawers in a small TV stand, so limited place to put clothes. Towel hook on door missing. Toilet was wobbly and not really safe to sit down on. Toilet paper rack was right over the toilet seat on one side. Had to be careful when sitting to avoid injuring myself! Who thought that was a good place to put it?? Had to return home a day early due to an emergency and they would not refund us one day. Hotels would be more accommodating. Only one restaurant was open for lunch and dinner, but food was great. Chair lifts varied in operation and was expensive to use, especially if you wanted to bring your bike up. Had questions but no one was available at the lobby entrance. Basically huge difference in experience from ski season.

Amazing free fireworks and drone show for July 4. Super safe, easy access, high quality show. I stayed next door but will try this place out for skiing since they did such a great job putting on a show for the visitors.

I love that they have fireplaces outside for guests. It would be awesome if they had a little coffee/tea/cocoa stand, so you don't have to go inside the restaurant, especially now 2022. I saw something like that but it only seem to sell alcohol. Still would recommend

Great resort!! And helpful people working here! It seems like it became vogue online to bash the ownership (Vail), but I’ve never had a bad experience here. Highly recommended! PS I do wish you would get the avalanche control at Murdock Peak area done more often/faster- would be great if that was open more!

Great location able to ski- in and ski-out using the Sunrise lift. Also only 5 min walk to the Orange Bubble or Gondola. Lots of new restaurants in the area and good areas for apres ski drinks. Rooms are perfect for our needs with a kitchen with dishwasher and a spa-bath. Carpets were a little worn, but that's typical of ski places.

We stayed at an Airbnb here. What a great location! Super close to town! Super accommodating with the free shuttle they offer to and from the village. My husband enjoyed snowboarding while I grabbed a drink and sat by one of the fire pits. Personally, I loved the free cabriolet.. what amazing views!! Definitely recommend staying here or even just to visit for the day!

I'm here for work. We are remodeling all of the buildings interior units , in one building. These spaces are beautiful, guaranteed you will be happy and wanting to plan another trip. They have plenty of family activities and spots to enjoy. Book a trip, winter or summer.

Love the canyons side, worked here for almost four years as a snowboard instructor. Snow is dope, hotels are close and very accommodating. The lessons are awesome and the snow is 10/10. The runs are set up great, and i cannot imagine working elsewhere.

Absolutely gorgeous locale. Rooms were fresh and welcoming. Great gym and access to several restaurants, shops, and bars. Wonderful showers. Great and patient staff.Not every room had a refrigerator or microwave.

The location is great for a ski trip and the rooms are nice. The low rating is due to the valet losing some of our luggage between the front of our hotel and the room. It was our child’s pillow, blanket and sheets, which isn’t a huge deal, but it was a $100 loss that should have been an easy resolution without any attempt to compensate. Instead, the front desk didn’t put much effort in trying to track it down, nor did anyone else I talked to. I was surprised something could be lost between the front of the hotel and our room, but even more so, hugely disappointing that no one on staff seemed to care about making it right. If I find a competitive price in the area, I will go elsewhere next time.

Saw a concert on the green. Pricey, as is expected, but not appreciated. The parking situation also left something to be desired. Local restaurants were ok. Didn't get to the top of the mountain with the family (wanted to just get a drink and enjoy the view) - but lift tickets were cost prohibitive for a family. They should figure that out to be more inclusive.

New hotel, modern design. Actually one of the few times I actually like the carpet in all locations. Great facilities, thoughtfully designed throughout.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this ski village, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. Here are the highlights:1.Convenient Location: The village is just a 30-minute drive from Salt Lake City International airport, making it easily accessible whether you’re flying in or driving. The proximity is a major plus.2.Accommodating Hotels: Not only are the nearby hotels close, but they are also exceptionally accommodating. It’s reassuring to know that comfort and convenience are top priorities.3. If you are interested in ski lessons, Canyons Village offers child lessons grouped by ability level and similar age range.4.Well-Designed Runs: The ski runs are meticulously set up, providing an exhilarating experience for skiers and snowboarders alike. The mountain terrain is both challenging and enjoyable..5.Close to Town: Being near Park City center adds to the overall appeal. After a day on the slopes, you can explore the local scene, dine at nearby restaurants, or simply soak in the charming atmosphere..6. Free Shuttle Service: The area goes the extra mile by offering a free shuttle service to and from the village. It’s a thoughtful touch that makes transportation hassle-free..7. Cozy Fire Pits: Along the walkway, there are fire pits where you can sit around and watch others walking by and skiers..In summary, this village area combines convenience, quality, and warmth—a winning combination. Whether you’re a seasoned skier or a first-timer, I highly recommend it.Cheers to memorable moments on the slopes!

Canyons Village has a great location to access the mountain and do some dining or shopping. The hotel rooms are good, but the Sundial Lodge is a bit dated - even though it's still okay.

As amazing as Park City Canyons is in the winter with their pristine powder and incredible activities for all family members, visiting in the Spring and Summer to enjoy their trails is also STELLAR. The hotels offer ski in, ski out but also hiking and biking trails with unparalleled views. We cannot wait to return in a few months for movies under the stars and to enjoy High West beverages by the fire again!

We stayed in unit U5. Great location with walking distance to cabriolet lift and heated outdoor pool. Just a few things I would change about this unit. The dryer is not vented to the outside, so it does not dry anything well. The upstairs is all one area, which is fine, but the bathroom door is open at the top. The light from that is very bright, waking everyone if you turn the light on. It is well stocked with everything you need for cooking.

The ghetto mountain. Epic pass is cheap, you get what you pay for. Everything in this resort is falling apart. From the completely destroyed pavement at the parking lot giving you a rally raid vibes to the abandoned not groomed trails. Horrible. Super busy, rude poor people. Not well maintained. Garbage. Spend more money and go deer valley. Park city is the ghetto of all mountains! Welcome to the slums

Perfect location, right at Red Gandola stop. A few restaurants in the area, where we were not able to get without reservation for dinner.Very nice playground for kids. We were lucky and with 15’’ snow , kids just played in a snow and did not need any additional entertainment. They all got together and enjoyed a snow ⛄️.

Well organized ski area, very impressive operation. Free parking, RV parking overnight, short walk to lifts, short lift lines all over the mountain, and courteous workers. Base areas has good stores and restaurants. Convenient store, gas station is right next to the parking area. This is a great place to spend time. And good snow!

The best part is that they have a free parking lot here, throughout the day and it is easy to access the main Gondola free of any charges.It's much wiser to just park your car here and headout to either of the villages.

Oh my God this was such a perfect place for our week-long vacation. There were events for families in the central area and plenty of places to eat for dinner. We ordered some food for our condo and were able to eat there as well. Definitely recommend staying in this location in the future

We attended daytime (not overnight) on a Monday in June. Took a chairlift to the top (after 5, $25) and enjoyed the peaceful 2+ hours.

Wonderful place and great atmosphere. The animals look gorgeous and well taken care of. And the staff is delightful.My husband and I love to visit this place out of all the places to see animals. So many wonderful learning opportunities for children and great ways to interact with them too. When our family came to town this is the first place that we brought them.would recommend to anyone!!

I love this aquarium! I've been here multiple times, and they are always so kind, and helpful, and the animals are all always very obviously well cared for. Their enclosures are always clean, and the animals all look well fed and cared for. My most recent visit, I brought my friends with me, and one of them brought their service dog along. The staff were all kind and professional regarding my friend's service dog, and the place is friendly for disabled people. I definitely recommend this place if you haven't already visited!

Real pricey, but worth it. Definitely buy tickets in advance if you know you want to go (on the website you can buy cheaper tickets up to 3 or 4 weeks in advance). But my kids had a great time looking at all the exhibits and playing on the playground outside. The jungle gym inside cost extra, but is worth the couple extra dollars. It’s super fun for kids and helps them get their energy out.

Absolutely wonderful aquarium! Great for children and adults. Plan to spend at least 2 hours here if you want to see all the exhibits.If you buy tickets in advance they cost about $17, for day-of they're $25, either way it's money well spent because this aquarium has so many amazing animals to look at.There's something for everyone here, sharks, fish, penguins, amphibians, reptile, birds and even some mammals like sloths and big cats. There's a few touch pools with rays, anemones and starfish. The aquarium is laid out really well and everything is presented really nicely. There's tons of information and educational things to read throughout the exhibits. My favorites were the saltwater tanks, so clean and beautiful, I could look at them for hours.

Great place to take the kiddos and family. I love how there are different parts and places that kids will explore. There are hands-on activities that include animals that allow kids to explore, grow and learn. There are a couple parks and a water station. Great place for kids to cool off. But be warned kiddos love "swimming" in it even though it is only a water table 🤣. There are also pavilions for eating lunch outside, and open field to enjoy.I also love the stroller parking, great job with that. It is nice to park the stroller in a designated area. I also enjoyed the tiny details on the walk ways. Check out the pictures for those.We got there at 10am in the middle of June. Not too busy but we left around 130pm and it was starting to get crowded with field trips and school kids. There is a gift store, a little movie center free, electric car charging stations, and a food court. I highly recommend buying tickets in advance and using the QR code tickets.

Its so super cool here! I really appreciate the animal information panel next to each exhibit, the fish usually have many on 1 panel so its fun to search for each like a little game. Also AMAZING fries, the food was AWESOME, id dare say they have "McDonald" level of sprite. Its a unique taste to get and they nailed it, how funny is that!

This was our first time here. I loved the shark tank that you get to walk through and the penguins! So much to see. My tip is to get tickets in advance online and go in right when they open, to see some of the exhibits without crowds and lots of kids. It is easier to get pictures when there aren't as many people and when lots of kids come in it can get loud. There are lots of animals and exhibits to see and it is definitely worth the admission price.

I love this place! It is just expensive so the only way we have gone is with field trips, or as a guest with someone else. But there is a lot to see here, especially for the kids. The penguin exhibit is a favorite. Also the Otters. But they were a no show when we were there last time. I loved seeing the octopus. It was one of my favorite things. I love the sea horses too. I wish we could have seen the sloth too. But it was hiding. Lol. I'm so glad we were able to visit though!

AR experience was fun. My kids loved going around trying to spot the animals in the pictures next to each exhibit. Divided into different habitats, so good for kids to group and categorize. Good way for them to interact and explore.

My family went to this place on Saturday, and we had a lot of fun. We went in the evening, so several of the animals were asleep, but we enjoyed the otters, some of the turtles, the stingrays, the seahorses, and several other creatures and animals that are there. Many of the employees were very knowledgeable about the animals and had a lot of great information to share with us.

My family and I have been to quite a few aquariums around the US at this point, and this one is by far one of the best! The habitats and tanks are all very clean and well maintained and the animals all seem happy.The layout is fantastic. Separated by region, it allows someone to really immerse themselves in the differences of species and habitats in each area. My favorite exhibit was the honey bees! So cool to see them in action up close.There are also several interactive exhibits for the whole family, and specifically my small child enjoyed each one. The virtual experience is definitely worth doing, even if there is a wait. Go for it!

This place is amazing! The exhibits and different rooms host a variety of different sea creatures and animals to look at. The best exhibits are the jellyfish, shark, and penguin ones. I could stare at the jellyfish all day, they're so mesmerizing to watch. This aquarium also has many different facts about the fish and animals they show off. I originally came here when I was a kid around 7-8 years ago. It was very nostalgic seeing all the exhibits I remembered from when I was a kid. The more we went through this aquarium, the more I started to remember all the stuff I saw when I was a kid here. I would highly recommend this place for young children. The facts next to all the animals and fish give great perspectives as to how the animal kingdom works and what the food chain is like for different types of fish. There are also fun activities to participate in while visiting, like walking across a rope bridge and petting different sea animals. Kids will have a blast here, and it would create some great memories for them, too.

Loveland living planet aquarium offers so many features that keep me and my child entertained for hours. One of our favorite parts of seeing the sharks in the large tank and being able to see them swim over our heads as we go through the tunnel. It is always very neat and clean and the staff is friendly! I do feel that a day pass is overpriced, but they do offer a student and military discounts. I also believe that seniors and children get discounts as well.

I absolutely had a blast walking around the aquarium! It is full of incredible creatures that most people would never see if it wasn't here! Be sure to touch the aquatic life that is appoved to be touched! The aquarium also has animals from other regions of the world. Every animal has fun facts about them next to their habitat. Be sure to stop by and take a look spend some time and really take in the experience. I would recommend visiting the aquarium it really is a fantastic experience.

This aquarium was gorgeous. It was clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. There were lots of children there under 4 and all seemed to have a blast. My family of 3 had fun. My 2yr old did get a little overwhelmed at the amount of people who were there. We sat in the mothers room for a good 20 minutes to calm down. I would definitely go again!

We’ve been to quite a few aquariums in and out of state. This one by far is the cleanest and has the nicest setup. You start at one side and it wraps around and feeds into other zones. Our favorite is the jelly fish and shark tank. The kids love the sting ray petting tank and jungle room.We visited on ZaP day and it was so busy! Definitely a good deal and we love to support our locals zoo programs, but the aquarium is better on a slow day when you can actually walk through each exhibit. Other than that, 5/5 experience with staff and other patrons.

Worth it. This was a really unique experience for me because of the exhibits they had. They had so many plants and a dessert place. All these various environments you can find in various places in Utah. It is a bit pricey. Definitely check out the virtual reality experience. It was such a fun thing I’ve never done before. Very family friendly! Perfect for dates.

We went to a special they were hosting an event, and we have been here once before. It is an awesome visit! The variety of creatures is really great! They also have many different animals and are featured to match the region they are showing. One of my favorites is the Jouney to South America. They have so many awesome things to see, from plants, birds, reptiles, a few smaller mammals, and of course.. fish! The kids get to cross a fun bridge and enjoy the colors of the various animals presented.They have a small play area for you to rest and kids to be rambunctious!They also have featured events or camps as well as animal encounters you can pay to experience! There are options such as penguins or stingrays interactions.They also have a unique, deep sea creature looking metal structural piece outside with a fun story! Check it out!

It was super fun for a little date with my husband. We haven't got kids and it was even really fun for just the two of us. They don't have only fish, they've got lots of animals and creatures to see. My only qualm is that the food at the cafe was super expensive. We spent more on food for the two of us than we did for our tickets. Also, it's much cheaper if you buy your tickets online, and a week or more in advance.

So cool!! So little cost to enter !! There's even a little Indoor playground for $3 per kid and an outside playground that's free. Shark tunnel, sting ray touch pool etc. Very fun, my 6 and 11 yr old loved it

I love all the exhibits. They really tried to have plants and animals from around the world and from Utah. The penguins and otters were our favorite. The shark tank tunnel was a classic. There is a nice cafe and gift shop. The facilities are wheelchair accessible and there are interactive exhibits for the kinetic learners. I would definitely recommend it.

Really great aquarium. Tickets are pretty expensive but worth it. It isn't just fish, there are also penguins and a rainforest area. You could spend two hours hanging out seeing everything.We bought tickets to the penguin encounter as well. It was super cool. We got to feed the penguins and get up close and personal to them. It's definitely a splurge, but I'd recommend it 100%.The pretzels at the cafe are to die for.

We enjoyed our visit but it really seems like a lot of the spark has left this place. Lots of animals off exhibit. Interactive experiences are broken. Dynamic pricing is expensive as it is hard to plan your visit weeks in advance. Senior and child pricing is barely a discount. All animal encounters are booked and expensive. It just seems to have lost its flare for the price.

My family and I do not live in this area. We were down that way, visiting some family, and we decided to take our 2 youngest daughters here. We have never been, and it was an amazing experience. We have 2 smaller aquarium type places closer to us that we have visited multiple times and enjoy those. But this is such a larger scale and so much more to see, and it really is and was worth the trip. We went in the afternoon on a Monday and it really wasn't that busy. Yes, the parking lot was full and there were people there, but I don't know if it's because of the size of the place, but you didn't feel like it was overcrowded and you weren't fighting through people to get to look at things. Overall, the experience was 100% enjoyable, and there was so much to look at. Who knew they had so many different types of fish, lol. I would love to go back at a different time of the year, when it's not 100° outside, and experience more of the outside part. They have a little play area for kids with a water table and a zip line and another climbing playground that my 3-year-old just loved, but it was just so hot out there and the trees aren't quite mature enough to give enough shade, and there wasn't any type of awning or sunshade overhead. It was just too hot for little ones. Overall, I would highly suggest that everyone visit this place.

We LOVE this aquarium! It’s always clean, the staff are always so friendly and of course the animals are the cutest.TIP - purchase tickets online in advance for slightly cheaper prices and a quicker entrance!

Took my kids there. They are are 7 and 14, they were both very entertained and loved all the animals here. The big shark tank was really cool. Also the jellyfish were really interesting. Lots of opportunities for photos.

We went to the Living Planet Aquarium while visiting Salt Lake City and it was mostly cool. The actual aquarium is indoors and is the first building you come to after entering the park. Everything inside the aquarium building was awesome! They had it broken up into different countries and the enclosures and environments for the critters were really nice. Everything outside of the aquarium building was kind of lame. There was a 3D experience that I wanted to be over as soon as it started. It was really low res video and the audio quality was pretty terrible. There was a playground that I'm sure kids would love but was really small. And there was supposed to be a garden but it didn't really look like one. Definitely visit this aquarium if you are looking for animal/nature related things to do near Salt Lake City, but maybe skip the stuff outside of the aquarium building.

Wonderful sensory experience!! It was my Mom's 88th birthday and we had 3 generations visiting yesterday. The exhibits are colorful and set up to veiw for young and old alike. Handicap access was easy for parking and enjoying the displays.

We visited this facility on a week day and it was a great choice! Aquarium was busy but not overwhelmingly crowded. We got to see many exhibits and were so thankful this was here! Staff was friendly and helpful. The inside building was very clean and well kept. We definitely will be back once construction is done!!

It was a memorable visit to the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium today. I thought it would be confined to a few fish and animals only but was surprised to see the range of members of the animal kingdom in this aquarium. It includes a range of fish, crocodiles, sharks, piranha, frogs, snakes,spiders, otters, Penguins and sloth and the list is much longer. One certainly needs a minimum of 3-4 hours to visit the entire exhibits. If you are on time you can enjoy a 4 D show which we couldn't see. It is advisable to book tickets online in advance for a better deal.Considering that one has to be in the premises for a very long time if possible they should give more varieties of food items taking divergent people into consideration and prices could also be a bit competitive.Overall a good experience.

Had a fantastic time here with my wife on a Wednesday afternoon. The animals are of course gorgeous, and I love learning about underwater life, both in the oceans and rivers. Also, the food isn't half bad, and the maintenance is great. The staff do a really good job educating people on all the different parts of the aquarium you can visit. Also, it should be entirely accessible for children and the differently abled. I really recommend going here for date night or with family and friends!

Great place! Lots of rooms to explore and a lot of creatures to learn about! From deep sea creatures and traditional aquarium animals, to a few birds, reptiles, insects, and other creatures!The kids had a blast and we will definitely be going back. <3

So impressed! They’ve made a lot of changes since we had last been and it’s a very good aquarium, especially for being a landlocked state! My sisters enjoyed feeding the penguins. Loved that they have otters and even a Komodo dragon!

One of the best aquariums in the USA! Huge spaces, a little pricey, but understandable if they want to keep maintaining the place. For the best outcome I recommend visiting this aquarium on a weekday, because the weekends get crowded a bit. We've been there a couple of times already and never had any bad experience. 🫶🪸🌊

My Wife and I went on a date here and we loved it! The aquarium is always fun and amazing to see. We enjoyed the EECO virtual experience and the attendants that were operating the attraction were super helpful when my headset wasn't calibrated right. Obviously, sometimes the animals won't be out or active when you visit. But they were very lively when we were there, and we couldn't be happier!

I bought an annual membership this year, so I visit this aquarium several times a month, usually every Sunday.If you're also planning on coming on a Sunday, I highly recommend coming early, preferably within the first few hours of opening, in order to beat the nomal post-noon crowds. Many times when I leave after 1PM on a Sunday, the line for tickets is well out the door.As for the aquarium itself, it's smaller than many others I've visited but just the right size to go through it within a couple of hours. I very easily spend a couple hours every time I visit just watching the animals (although that may be because I am a huge animal nerd). It's no Atlanta Aquarium, but the shark tank tunnel is still quite lovely to sit in when it isn't super crowded, and I love the variety of displays and animals that they have.There's tons of parking and places to sit within the aquarium, and the food and drinks at the small cafe is nice enough for what it is. Overall, I will be renewing my annual membership every year moving forward, and I'm looking forward to the future expansions.

An amazing aquarium that is AZA accredited!This was a great place to bring the family!There were a few areas where you could sit and enjoy the larger tanks, areas for kids to play as well.I wish there was more staff around to talk about the animals like at the touch pools. Nonetheless, the information by the tanks were very informative.

I always live coming here! There's always something fun to see and to do. This time the penguins were having the time of their lives swimming here and there, and giving you a happy high five through the glass! But watching the shark tank with the sharks, giant sting rays, and the giant turtles, who are as curious about you as you are about them, is also a major highlight! We also loved the sting ray petting station. Those guys LOVE cuddles!

Posted just a few fun of jellyfish. I've never been to an aquarium and this one is beautiful. We spent 3 or so hours wandering around. Loved it all!!! Penguins, sharks, otters, leopards, so many fish. Birds, bees you can just wander at your own pace. Being able to sit under and watch sharks, stingrays and other fish was so relaxing!!! Outdoor play area for kids. Food court inside. Was quick to get in for tickets and do wheelchair rental. They keep you id for wheelchair rental until returned. Look forward to visiting next trip!

Pretty cool place. The exhibits were well done and informative. The staff were friendly, helpful, and respectful. It was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday. I expected massive crowds but there was no wait to get in and it wasn’t horribly crowded.

My kids love this every time we go. The staff is always outstanding, and the tickets are reasonably priced. The only issue I have is the price of everything in the gift shop, I can buy something on approved credit LOL

Its an interactive aquarium and education center. It features various exhibits such as the Ocean Explorer, Journey to South America, Discover Utah, and Antarctic Adventure. These exhibits showcase a wide range of marine and terrestrial animals. The aquarium also focuses on conservation efforts and provides educational programs for visitors of all ages.

We have been to this aquarium a few times and it’s a good size. They have some pretty good displays. There are different areas inside for viewing different species, outside there is a playground for kids. There is an area that serves food and the choices were pretty good. I love going on days when it is not crowded so we can view as much without feeling overwhelmed or rushed. There is a touching zone where people can gently pet certain species. The overhead shark tank and penguin enclosure are our favorites. A lot of educational info around the area to learn more about what you are seeing. Definitely a fun place to go to.

Loveland Aquarium is truly fantastic! The majestic Clouded Leopard and adorable baby penguins were definite highlights. The fish tanks are stunning, featuring vibrant tropical fish, mesmerizing jellyfish, and a thrilling shark tank. The coral reef exhibit beautifully showcases diverse underwater ecosystems. There's also a Utah native animal section and an amazing Amazon area. Knowledgeable and friendly staff enhanced the entire experience. A must-visit for marine enthusiasts and anyone looking for an enjoyable and educational day out. Highly recommended!

You should take some time and go here if you are visiting Park City. You can watch ski jumpers do their acrobatic tricks into the water for free. For $85 you can do 3 1/2 hours of sliding the tubes down the ski hill or the alpine slides or the zip lines. We went on a Thursday afternoon and it didn’t feel too busy. The skiers are very entertaining to watch.

The Utah Olympic Park gold pass is a lot of fun but the time goes by too quickly to experience it all( you get 3.5 hours). We got in line for the lift a little before 9:30 am start time and there was already a line in front of us. Recommend doing the extreme zip line or alpine slide first with the other right after. Chipmunks do get on the alpine slide and cause major delays (wasted an hour in line) so it puts us in a pinch to do the other main events before our time is up. Did the extreme sledding next where you need to do the k64 before the k90 which was a blast. You have to walk to the other side of the park for the air drop and the air bag jump which was the last we could do. There is also a cool ropes course by the air drop. Lines were not bad outside the alpine slide and overall a great experience that I would do again. Get tickets early for best prices and arrive early to get started fast. There are weight and height restrictions on most things as well.

Our visit the Olympic Park proved to be a highlight our visit to Park City. Three members of our family participated in the Bobsled experience and they were so happy with it. They all came off the mountain sporting wide grins and giggles. The museum which is free to the public proved to be an exceptional display. I loved every exhibit! We all said we would visit again given the chance.

They have lots of training areas to view the athletes. One place is right outside the Olympic museum with divers and skiers both able to land in a pool of water. And it is all handicap accessible if needed

Cool place to check out if you are nearby. It’s free admission, you only pay if you want to participate in any activities. They allow you to walk up to the top, we had on sandals so didn’t make it to the top. There’s a museum inside worth seeing. I give it 4 stars because the activities are over priced.

Utah Olympic Park did not disappoint - we visited with our 3 boys ages 12 to 16. Highly recommend taking the guided tour which takes you up to the top of the ski jump and bobsled areas with incredible views - come a little early and watch the future Olympians training. Also take time to walk through the Museum which is free and has several interactive experiences. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Got to see downhill skiers practicing and ending up in a bubbling swimming pool. There were also gymnast practicing on a trampoline. Very cool! The views from up there were beautiful!

Pretty cool place to spend the day tubing in the summer and letting the kids run wild. Dress appropriately. You will need closed toed shoes to participate. We had a blast having out for the afternoon. Will definitely come back

Had so much fun bobsledding! Went so quick but glad I can check this off my bucket list. Only complaint was that they did not enforce mask wearing, which was mandated by the state when I was there. Several people were not wearing their masks on the bus ride up and in the safety video room.

Free museum with very cool exhibits and interactive simulators. Great place if you like skiing, Olympics, or winter sports! Guided tours available. In between winter and summer hours and access to some areas may be limited. Very good place to visit on your way into town!

Always an amazing adventure at Utah Olympic Park. This time we did the extreme tubing down the ski jump and had such a thrill.No wait and despite being the weekend, we were able to get right on the hill. Taking the lift up to the ski jump was peaceful and a fun addition to the experience.Lots of olympic memorabilia and history to view in the main lobby. Parking is easy and close. There are even lockers for purses and handbags.

Great time for families or alone. Check out the athletes practicing and take part in activities that are available. Definitely get a reservation and do the waivers ahead of time. Very organized and super helpful staff. Go for the views alone!! Definitely recommend.

Exciting summer activities for kids 10years + such as zipline, extreme tubing, ropes course to name a few. Perfect place for adventurous kids.The staff are very friendly and take time to help answer questions. Some rides require hiking paths to reach them but are worth the effort. Arrive on time and the lines are not long.

This place is impressive if you are a winter sports fan, or Nordic fan especially. The museum is interesting and nostalgic. The venues are fantastic. For all those kids getti.g, to compete at the OP it's a once in a lifetime experience. Definitely worth visiting even if you're just passing by. Free to enter the museum.

Very iconic place! It just felt great being there knowing the Winter Olympics was held there. 🇺🇸 I didn’t go on any, but they had tubing, coasters, zip lining, bobsledding, and even a smaller area “Action Tower” included a slide and tubing for kids.

Recently my family came to visit for the second time this year and we always have a blast! We utilized the ski lift, did some hiking along with the tubing! You weren't able to use the Olympic bigger slope which my kids were bummed out about however everyone still had a great time! We also did the summer bobsled experience which was crazy! Definitely an experience and recommend to everyone!!

This is an absolute ‘must do’ if you’re in the Park City area during Summer. It’s only open to the public for 2.5 months out of the year, and we had a blast. I recommend getting the Gold Pass for all that can ride most things.Our 6 year old loved the ropes course and we all had an experience of a lifetime on the Bobsled. I couldn’t recommend the Bobsled enough… what an amazing experience.

What a blast the bobsled is to ride. I highly recommend doing this ride for several reasons. 1. It is fun. 2. It helps to support track maintenance and the workers needed to make it happen. 3. Proceeds from this and the store benefit our Olympians.All you do is, pay for the ride, take a free shuttle to the finish line where you receive instruction from Carl, receive another free shuttle with your bobsled and professional driver to the starting point, get in the sled 1, 2, 3, and sit down 3, 2, 1 and hang on while you reach 65 to 70 mph and experience up to 3 and 4 g's. You will be hooked and if like us, we did it again the following day.

Super fun for the kids, ultra hot this time of year and barely any shade. Would be a 5 star but the prices are out of this world for the 3 hour sessions you get with the gold pass. My 5 year old could only do 3 of the attractions, and it was still $100 for her. Inflation seems to have hit this park the hardest. Super friendly staff however and they assisted with gearing up the kids. We did have one snafu on the alpine track, one of our kids was tall enough to go alone but didn’t quite weigh enough so she got stuck and caused a pile up.

Great free activity if you want to just go to the museum and watch the skiers practicing! There was a flying aces show that night, but we got to watch them practice before the show which was awesome and we didn’t have to pay. It looks like the activities would be fun, but would maybe take more time than we had. We loved all the 2002 Olympic memorabilia and exhibits. It was fun to reminisce.

Totally worth the $20 per adult to take the guided tour. Matt was very knowledgeable and the views were amazing. We got to see the Alpine ski jump team practice in the freestyle pool. Amazing!

Pretty cool seeing all the Olympic areas as well as the view of Park City from up there. Watching the skiers was fun too.

Lots of fun. So much to do. You can tube, ride a luge, tours. Great gift shop. 4 stars since it was somewhat under construction.

This place is so nice. Lots of nature and cute wildlife. Many rides is a bit expensive it that isn’t why it got 4 stars. I went on a slide and it was so fun. Next I went on an alpine slide and it was a bit of a a wait but that’s not the problem on my way down there was this woman going so slow. I swear she was going below the speed limit or something.I had to brake but it didn’t go fast enough so I bumped into her. The. She started saying “DidNt you read the sign?” There was a brake sign to slow down but she was completely stopped. She was going slow down the rest of the way. It was kinda annoying so it was only 4 stars. But I hope she doesn’t come back. So this place is nice great place to go. Sorry for ranting about the lady.

This was a good place to visit for free! Museum was interesting, we spent more time watching beginners learning to ski jump into the pool and some of the snowboarders practicing on the slope with the huge pillow landing.Fridays have a tickets demo at 6:30pm but we didn’t get time to return. The other bobsled and high wire activities also were fun to watch.

Lots of history and interesting facts. Beautiful with snow around and the tour was captivating. Definitely a must see.

Impressive facility in a very picturesque setting, good museum and facility tour. It is close to a very beautiful alpine style town Park City, which is nestled into the valley. Two massi e off leash dog fields, and a bridge for skiers to come off the slope right into town A place that knows who and what it is catering for. Very busy, lots of pre , and apres ski, perfect March break weather sun and snow.

First time visting the Park and loved it!! What an amazing experience to see the Olympic athletes training for the ski slopes in the summer!! Got to see them plunge into a crystal blue pool!!!! Amazing!!! Oh, and the museum is so great too!!!

The Olympic Park is a very cool place to visit and see Ski Jumpers practice in real time. The Freestyle pool is awesome. I go on Saturday mornings to see the jumpers. The park is free entry and the food offered in the museum is actually good food! There is not much accessible parking. There is often large vehicle parking at the rear of the lot. There is likely limited parking in the Winter but Park City does offer a bus to the Olympic Park. If you are going to see the Flying Aces, buy tickets ahead of time. It is an amazing opportunity to see the jumpers and I can’t wait to see how the Olympic Park welcomes the 2034 Olympic Games. It seems like currently (June of 2024) they are updating the Alf Elgen Museum, but still tons to see.

Our family spent Memorial Day morning at Utah Olympic Park - it was an incredible experience!We loved the Extreme Zip, Alpine Slide, Canyon Rope Course, Airbag Drop, Drop Tower, and the views from the chairlift. Tubing wasn’t available the day we went.Everyone was smiling, while enjoying these fun outdoor activities, in a beautiful setting.Highly recommend!

I really didn't know what to expect. I read that some Olympic athletes trained there, but that was about it. It turned out that there were about a dozen kids and early 20's people practicing on the smaller jumps and landing in a pool. We enjoyed watching that. The bobsled run also had some paid participants. We opted out since it cost $100. It was still fun to watch. The biggest surprise was going to the top of the ski jump. I had no idea it was that high. Those athletes are crazy! Many rides for the whole family. Highly recommend!

A very historic place if you are into asking and a fan of the Olympic Games.It has an indoor museum with great trophies, skii wear and gadgets.Getting there requires owning/renting a car for sure.Get a jacket with you, always chilly.

There may be more to do in the summer. The museums were great and free! Get there before 3 p.m. for guided tours. They have a ski jump simulator, which was fun! Overall, a nice experience if you are looking for a break from the slopes.

Our family LOVED our day here! (Kids are 12 & 14) The tour taught us a lot and showed us great things that will definitely make watching the next Winter Olympics special. TJ was a great tour guide and every staff member we encountered was so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed all the summer activities as well as the beautiful views. Even though the water shows had not started for the season, there were some local teams practicing which was fun to see!

Amazing place to take your dinosaur enthusiast! My kids love it here. They have multiple levels with different exhibits. Interactive displays for hands on learning and to ease your mind, hand sanitizer everywhere!

Mine and my youngest son's first experience at a Natural History Museum. We were not disappointed. It was truly amazing. Between all the dinosaur skeletons, the wild life section, and the history of the Indians in Utah, it was all an amazing experience. Plus, the view of Salt Lake City is incredible.

Very nice museum with tons of interesting things to look at. We were there on a weekday when some schools were there. Had it not been for all the kids I believe we would have been the only ones there. Rocks and minerals were very interesting as well as all the fossils and dino bones. We had a great time and would recommend this as a stop for any traveler.

This science museum is amazing! Our kids were in awe of the dinosaur exhibit. We were amazed by the thought and planning put into the layout, smells, and even multi-level experience.The detail and variety of science exhibits (ecology, fossils, gems and minerals, peoples from native lands, sustainability, and more) allow you to see a glimpse of Utah, past and present and hopefully a brighter future.Their attention to climate change and sustainability here (solar panels, green roof) remind me of the sustainable-building focus of the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco.Parking is easy and free.

This was one of my favorite museum experiences I’ve ever been able to participate in. The walking amount can be a bit of a struggle for those with lesser endurance, but even then, slopes are gradual, elevators are available, and the entirety of the exhibits, save for a couple optional locations, appeared to be easy enough to navigate and handicap-friendly. The stories and presentations were excellently captured, and they made it very easy to discern between interactive and non-interactive attractions and displays. Fun for any age, with lots of visual, auditory, and tactile interactions throughout. Set aside a good 2-3 hours if you want to see everything and experience things wholly. We spent 2 and a half hours here and ended up having to be rushed out at closing time half-way through the Colors exhibit.Absolutely worth the time, the travel, and the visit.

This was an amazing experience! The architecture and exhibits are spectacular. I would totally share pictures of them, but it would just spoil the magic! I also really enjoyed the outdoor decks that give an awesome view of the salt lake city skyline. It was fun for myself, and the rest of my family. Very fun, and I would definitely go here again in the future.

Breath-taking place. You'll dive deep into the history of Utah. It'll surely give you a serotonin boost. The palaeontology section is mind blowing. Loved their collection. The dinosaur's bones are marvellous. Their mineral collections are also praise-worthy.You'll need 3-4 hour min to visit the place. They have a cafe on the ground floor. The ticket fee is $20 for outsiders, free if you have a student pass (of the U)Highly recommended place.

Did you know that pterodactyls are not dinosaurs! This is a lovely museum nestled right up next to the mountains. The layout is designed masterfully. It is the perfect afternoon activity! Please do not smell the dinosaur meal…..ugh. You will also learn about the difference between mastodons and woolly mammoths! Well worth the price!

Wonderful museum, lots of interactive stations throughout for kids. Great quality exhibits, loved the dinosaurs! It was also super cool to see the real paleontology prep lab in action! They are open late until 9pm on Wednesdays, which was helpful for us as we made a special pit stop while on a road trip to see it. Nice little gift shop with some affordable options for kid souvenirs. Beautiful rooftop terrace views. Must see!

Had a great time here with my two small kids. Lots of steps but there was an elevator for the stroller that was quick and convenient. The dinosaur exhibit was a little hard to find and my husband ended up having to go back through with our 5yr old to find it before we left. Some of the hands on features didn’t work but most did and they were fun for everyone. The staff were helpful and our toddler was free. The gift shop is pricey but had some great stuff that the kids are still enjoying weeks later.

The Natural History Museum of Utah is a sensational interactive destination in Salt Lake City. A visually stunning building set at the base of the Wasatch Mountains is home to dinosaurs, rocks & minerals, animals and indigenous peoples.At the start of the museum, a hands-on kiosk guides even the smallest of guests to the museum level that most interests your blossoming Biologist, Paleontologist, Naturalist, Historian, or Geologist. This way, if time is limited, make a bee-line for target areas.Engaging all five senses, visitors can smell extinct flora and fauna; dig for fossils; engage Paleontologists at work; draw dinosaurs; jump to create seismic waves; assemble cells and DNA strands; observe ants; touch a snake, and so much more!Before or after entrance, trails open up to the majesty of Utah's natural wonders for hikers and bikers alike. Be sure to pack sunscreen and good shoes!Whether there's an hour or all day, don't miss this gem. It's in the top 10 "things to do in Salt Lake City" for a reason. 10/10 recommend!

Museum is huge, 5 levels, all each have a little outdoor patio with stuff to read. Don't lose your ticket cause it's also the key to get in an out from the patios. Lots of interaction rooms, areas and monitors. When you enter there's a cute quiz that suggests where to start. We didn't listen an started on level 5 an worked our way down and across. There's stairs an elevators. Next to the elevators on each level are restrooms. It took us about 3-4 hours to complete the museum an shop the gift shop. There's much to look at. Native american, fossils, dinosaurs, geology, the earth with minerals and plate tectonics, animals/insects, DNA, micro biology, and human/ animal evolution. An a mini zoo. I'd definitely check it out.

What a great experience and well worth the visit. Not sure of cost as I went as veteran free this weekend. Located off Wakara way at University of utah. 5 floors to explore. Native American indigenous peoples on top, an observation deck looks out over the Salt Lake Valley. Dinosaur on a level some play and Interactive for the children. Wild life exhibits on one floor. A great walk through history. Everyone should visit if not once, many times. Gift shop and food court are here to.

My favorite part was the Native American artifacts. A lot of the science exhibits are hands on / oriented for younger children. They also have an impressive array in of gems and minerals - many of which I had never heard of, but were very pleasing to the eye. It was quite expensive, and closes right at 5. I would have liked more time to explore the upper levels.

Wow!! This museum is AMAZING!! My husband & I, our 8 year old son & 15 year old daughter stayed a little over 6 hours!! Easily could have stayed longer. Soooo many dinosaur 🦕 bones!! Such a beautiful museum. Saw a couple animal presentations from the Wild Side with Alex. I loved all the gems! Hubby loved the Native American displays. Truly a place to check out!

Spent an excellent four hours here! I am not a museum person but I loved this one. We purchased the audio tour which I highly recommend - it was a very decent cost and provided a lot more information on the exhibits.I appreciated the climate change and how it affects Utah exhibit - especially the care of adding pamphlets on how to talk about climate change to your children. I hope this exhibit inspires visitors to push our local government to protect our state!Speaking of our state, I loved how the museum was so catered to UT! It felt extra impactful to learn about the native peoples, flora and fauna, and ancient animals of my home.All of the exhibits were awesome, and I appreciated the interactive elements a lot of them had (especially the "smell" ones). If I had to pick the dinosaurs (especially the UT ones) were my favorite.

I would ask you to try to go to this museum a little earlier because it close pretty early so I think you’ll need like two hours to enjoy it in a full depth. There was an exhibit of a scientist who lived with monkeys. It was a really cool exhibit. Buying tickets is very easy at the door. However, they don’t have student prices so if your student having your student ID as you want to anything, unless you are a student of university of Utah.If you really want to see the information about dinosaurs, highly would advise you to go to this museum $23 ticket is very well for this museum.

This museum is a must see if you love either dinosaurs or Native American culture. Their spacious exhibit layouts are spectacular. The museum also boasts a large research facility, which the visitors may glimpse. There are also excellent displays regarding the region's geologic history as well as the obligatory nod to the perils of climate change.The cafe, gift shop, and parking area are all a bit small but, I found them adequate. That may not be true on a crowded day.

Jane Goodall exhibit is great. Very friendly staff I recommend at least 2-4 hours here. We did 2.5 and still feel like we had to rush through some stuff. Dino area is insane but minerals are pretty quick. The overall layout is all ADA accessible and beautiful, really combines form and function. Worth the money

I love this place. I'm an 8th grade science teacher and have been bringing my students on field trips here for about 8 years. In addition to that, I go a few times a year on my own. There is so much stuff that I forget half of what I read so that each time feels new. I also love the rotating exhibits. Excellent way to spend a few hours.

Best museum I’ve ever been too. Dinosaurs everywhere, showcasing and educating about the local area and its evolution.Our kids were astonished and captivated. The lay out of levels and walkways were fluid and flowed very nicely. Never a question of “where do we go next?” Literally no map needed.The views were insane too. The museum looks down into the valley and at every level there is a scenic balcony. Just amazing!

This museum was fantastic, from the outside it looks small, but the interior has so much well designed space and exhibits. The only downside was the parking was a bit limited, but other than that, fantastic. The replica fossils were amazing, as well as everything else! Fantastic place to visit in SLC!

This museum is amazing. I love how it's laid out, and it definitely looks like a canyon on the inside. You can go to the cafe without a ticket, if you want. But the museum is so worth the price. There's 5 floors with so much information. I loved the mineral area, and the dinosaurs from a local quarry were also great to look at. The native voices exhibit is so informative, and definitely worth the stop.Parking is free, and they have a good lot with ramps. The views from the cafe are great, and they gave bathrooms near the elevator exits.

This is a great museum! In a beautiful building with amazing views, this bolsters also some great exhibits as well. From the natural history of Utah and the special collection of Jane Goodall, this is a perfect place for all ages. We did get a good discount for being students, but I would for sure come back with new exhibits in the future. The gift shops also have lots of great options.

This was our first visit as out of towners, and we could have spent the whole day here! The exhibits were so cool and there were a lot of interactive areas for young children. A lot of people come for the dinosaurs and that is definitely a cool part of the museum, but the entire museum was great.

Amazing place to learn about natural history. They have special exhibits for limited time. Check their website. There are interactive displays and activities for kids. The fossils and the Native American exhibits are my favorites. I recommend starting at the top and working your way down.

A beautiful building with some fabulous exhibits. If you happen to be an ASTC member, this museum honors the reciprocity. The employee who accepted our passes was super friendly. The teenaged? volunteer that scanned our passes was unfriendly. There are beautiful views from the terrace, or outdoor levels on different levels. Free parking.

Beautiful museum with lots of exhibits. Highly recommend! If you go during the warm seasons it's right next to the red butte gardens, which is also nice to do. Lots of the displays had interactive, hands on activities, fun for kids and adults it took me about an hour to go through the exhibits but one could easily spend a few hours here.

We really enjoyed this museum! The attention to detail is incredible. The flow is perfect to match your pace. You can quickly go through or spend your time at each station. It’s set up as a walkthrough. From dinosaurs to current wildlife-the place has it all. And the view outside is AMAZING! Definitely check this out!!!

Hot tip: start from the top floor and work your way down.Hot tip for tourists: if you have a pass to a natural history museum in your hometown, it might be valid to use here too! We used our Museum of the Rockies pass to get in free!Hot time on time: we went on a weekday in the evening outside of tourist season, there were no crowds and not many other people there.This is an incredible museum. We happened to visit while there is a Jane Goodall exhibit and it was amazing. There is a lot of thought put in to this museum and I recommend it for young and old alike.The viewing decks were closed when we arrived, but I hope to get to go out there next time we’re in Salt Lake.

Unbeatable collection of dinosaurs 🦕The museum is very nicely design to make the visit so enjoyable.Such an amazing visit , you can spend hours without noticing.Interesting for young kids as well as adults.

Very interactive and very relevant. Suitable for all age groups and plenty of kids activities and stimulus.Great trails around the museum too.

One of the best place with lot of information, educational activities, lab to see paleontologists working and well designed with aesthetics. Would highly recommend this under top things to do in Utah.If you are local to Salt a lake City, you are lucky to visit frequently and explore one topic at a time and enjoy summer camps too.We wish we had more time to explore leisurely.!!

Really cool natural history museum! It is large and artistically designed. We loved the dinosaur bones displays as well as the gems and minerals. The taxidermied animals and insects near the DNA and cell displays was super cool too. Absolutely worth checking out.

The tickets costed 22$. Walked up and purchased them. Great displays and amazing content. One of my first Natural history museum visits in the US. Be ready for a really long walk inside. There is a cafe available inside the museum.

As an internationally recognized symbol for a specific religion, this is an iconic building to see in SLC. It's noticeable in the skyline of the city and is very well known amongst Latter-day Saints.They light Temple Square up to the gills with Christmas lights every year, and it's always fun to walk around. The building itself is pretty spectacular - it took a very long time to build in many years ago. If you are a believing Latter-day Saint, this building and visiting it will mean much more to you than the casual observer recognizing different faith traditions. However, it is an architectural structure and can still be recognized for it's beauty. This is simply my rating as a work of architecture. It is a symbol for a Christian religion that has major influence in Salt Lake City. As a tourist coming to visit, it's a building that will likely be on your bucket list in SLC.

Full disclosure, I am not a Mormon, but appreciate the history of this people. The architecture is great and the ladies that give the tours are very friendly. Unfortunately the temple was underdone repairs, so the view was obstructed.

This was one of the most remarkable pieces of architecture I've ever beheld in my life, and I am in awe of the craftsmanship, detail and commanding beauty of this timeless edifice. the experience of touring the Temple square and the visitor center and the conference center will be a cherished long memory. I hope to return again future, and highly recommend this experience to literally anyone and everyone.

This temple is so beautiful and so historic. I have loved coming here! We'll see what it is like after the seismic renovations. It will still be amazing! A great place to come and visit!

To the the people making reviews can we NOT start making false accounts of events regarding this building? This is meant for honest reviews and let's keep it that way. If you want to go spread your false accusations of chanting and interactive plays I would recommend Twitter.All that aside looked nice before it went under renovation. Can't wait till it done in 2026.

Best place on earth. It doesn't matter if you're a Believer or not you should go. To see something so instrumental in the building of so many people's faith is worth it.

Not temporarily close. Closed for 3 years and will continue under construction until 2026. If you plan to sightseeing and take a picture, sorry, it's just a construction site currently.

Mormon’s Temple. Learned. MOre about Mormon today which claims don’t worship cross nor statues (either Jesus or Mary,,,,). However, Angle Morini’s statue is right on the top of its temple. Non-Mormon are not allowed to walk into Temples. That says a lot, haha!

I loved going here with my family. Just going inside it feels different. I've biked here too, and gotten to see it while it wasn't under construction. (Although I didn't take pictures sadly...) I'd definitely recommend visiting it to see the construction they're doing, and how it all looks. Its truly incredible.

Nice but we didn’t get to go inside they had a engagement going on

Temple square is beautiful. We love visiting year round.Very interesting to see the temple under construction. I'm glad I got to see it. However can't wait to see it finished

As of September 26th 2023 photos of the renovation. Exciting and fascinating to watch.

I love this temple so much! It’s so unfortunate it’s been closed for almost 4 years! It’s always welcoming to members, and even non members. Non members cannot go inside for religious reasons, but they can still visit the temple grounds outside so they can have an experience too. Things are handled very professionally, and quietly here. Not to mention absolutely beautiful during Christmas!

Beautiful. Historic. Amazing inside and out. My favorite temple and a strong symbol of Christ’s restored Church and the history of the Latter-Day Saints. Come and see!

I loved it. It's so beautiful and the visitors center was a great place to learn about the building of the temple. I also really liked the modal of Jerusalem and the narrative given showing the locations of the savior's last days.

One of the best and most beautiful places on earth. TRUTH is taught here about how to remain on the covenant path. Here we learn about the importance of faith, obedience, the law of the gospel, the law of chastity and the law of consecration and we make covenants to live these principles to the very end of our lives.Anyone trashing the temple that used to be a member and wants to comment on its “high entry price” clearly didn’t understand the religion they were once a part of. God commands 10% of your increase, which is perfectly acceptable, especially considering everything you are blessed with was given to you by God to begin with. Having access to a temple is truly worth any cost, I don’t care what any apostate says.

I went for the tour of the conference center. The girls that gave the tour were extremely nice and had very good info about the temple and the conference center. Although I understand the temple was under construction that didnt bother me too much, but the fiberglass Jesus statue caught me off guard. I was expecting a marble statue of Jesus instead of a fiberglass rendition... I mean, really, the LDS can afford a marble statue.

Temple Square is almost always open, but we learned the hard way that it is closed Thanksgiving day.We still had a good time walking around the perimeter. The front view of the temple was available by going in by the Joseph ith Memorial Building.The weather was beautiful and it was fun to be there when very few others were there.

This is a wonderful place with an incredible spirit. It's sole purpose is to point the world to Jesus Christ through making and keeping sacred covenants. The temple is beautiful and I can't wait for it to re-open.

Temple Square is so beautiful. The museum is such an interesting segway to see how the religion began and understanding who the people are and what they stand for.The volunteers were so knowledgeable and friendly, ready to talk, and answer any and all questions you may have!Free!

What a beautiful and solemn experience. We were in Salt Lake City for one day and, at the end of the day, we heard that the Choir was practicing. So we raced to hear them. Beautiful and inspiring.07/08/2022 EDIT: Please be aware that the main temple is currently being renovated/reinforced. So, it is covered with scaffolding and the towers are gone.

Beautiful grounds of LDS facilities. The main temple is under renovation for next 5 yrs, but the rest of grounds is beautiful! We went in the Assembly Hall, Tabernacle and huge visitor center/convention hall. The visitor center had some fabulous paintings and sculptures.

The temple itself is totally unrecognizable as it is covered in scaffolding. But the grounds still have an amazing feel and the Spirit is definitely there! I saw the Conference Center, Tabernacle, museum, and more. It was all family friendly and very interesting. Someone was even practicing on the organ in the Tabernacle when I was in there.

The Salt Lake Temple is being renovated. The renovation project is inthe third year. Over the past two years, two tower cranes were erected on the north and south sides of the temple. These cranes have been used for various purposes, such as removing stones from the walls and towers. Temple Square is well worth a visit, and visitors can go inside the Tabernacle. There are church volunteers available for any questions.

As we walked the square during the very cold evening, there were no people, and ultimately, no views of the Chapel...as there was a full-on construction project being done with a full-on 10' fence with razors surrounding the Chapel. They even had the surrounding block dug out to sub levels of the street. Amazing to see this scale of change being done right in the middle of the square! It's really something to be seen first hand... especially at night. Looking forward to the progress and ultimately the finished product. Amazing

I love visiting Temple Square! The missionaries are so kind and made me feel so welcome. The buildings were very clean and well kept. The peace I feel here is unlike any other! 100/10 would recommend!!! There's also free parking in the conference center!

Temple square is amazing. They must see. Good Mormon people are very friendly, polite, helpful, enthusiastic, and informative.The three girls in the picture accompanied my wife and I and and other couple. On the tour it was very impressive. The temple is over 175 years old. Reviewed the tabernacle and then came back for choir practice in the convention center later that evening. If you go to salt lake City, don't miss the chance to go to Temple's square.

Such friendly and wonderful people working here! Wonderful history and beautiful grounds! The main Temple was under tremendous construction and I wish we could have gained entrance or seen it in all its Glory, but we'll have to go back in a few years.

The temple is still under construction and it’s entirely covers with scaffolding. Hard to see any details. There are some historic buildings open for self guided tours. There are many volunteers who will answer questions. Worth the time.

Temple Square is partially under construction right now. But this is an incredible place. The temple on the square took pioneers 40 years to build. There are multiple visitors centers where you can watch videos and see exhibits to learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it's members.

Wandering around Salt Lake City, I was lucky to stumble into the choir in full performance on a Sunday morning. It was very impressive!

So many buildings were closed until 2025 that we only got to see the tabernacle, convention center and church history buildings. We heard the bells practice and they were great. Everyone was helpful. The grounds were amazingly beautiful. Worth the hour drive from Perry to see it.

Beautiful space with many sweet Sister Missionaries to help guide your journey.

Five stars? How about all the stars… we happened to show up in time for the noon organ recital. With just a handful of us there, It felt like a private concert on one of the world‘s great musical instruments. It literally brought tears to my eyes Look, no matter what your faith tradition or beliefs this is truly a wonder. Visit Temple Square, walk the tabernacle … amazing place… oh and the docents are friendly and knowledgeable. Say hello.

No need for tickets. There are sisters everywhere to help guide you and answer any questions. They offer tours as well. All free of charge. The Temple is currently closed until 2025. But the Tabernacle and Convention Center are open to the public, as well as Temple Square. The Tabernacle offers an organ recital at 12 PM. Doors open at 11:50 am. Very clean restrooms. Bring drinks because no food or drinks are available.

Such a beautiful, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone was so nice and friendly giving us good background info on the Tabernacle. The acoustic demonstration was amazing! Great sounds!

We randomly stopped in for a quick visit during the evening with zero crowds. The pipe organ was on display and being played for a private group of only 3 guests! We sat down, remaining still and quiet... and took in the feeling of majesty and power. The acoustics were perfect to our novice ears and we found ourselves somewhat disappointed when the display ended. I can't even imagine the feeling of a full Choir! Wow

What a beautiful place to be in. The Acoustics were amazing. The pioneer handcrafting on everything was incredible. The volunteer staff for the event were very kind and helpful. My daughter was playing for the event and they had cordoned off places for the family members. We had a lovely experience there.

What an amazing structure, rich with heritage. It is hard to imagine how this building was constructed without all of the modern tools and machinery we have now. And the organ is truly magnificent!

It was so peaceful and serene here. The Church is breathtaking. If you go to Salt Lake City, make sure you add this to your list of must do's

We did a quick self guided tour of the tabernacle and it was enjoyable. There were only a few people visiting while we were there. I’ve seen it on TV since young, but finally got to see it in person. Unfortunately there was no performance while we were in Salt Lake City. The pipe organ

We had a wonderful experience attending Music & the Spoken Word this morning. We arrived about 45 minutes early and got perfect seats in the center back section. We could see and hear well. We were welcomed by friendly hostesses. We enjoyed watching the rehearsal before the recording of the broadcast. The music was beautiful and inspiring.

Nice place to visit. Lots of history. The architecture is incredible. I went during the cherry blossom season which really added to the coolness factor. Put on some nice walking shoes because you are going to add up those steps. If you park a ways off like we did, you may end up with shin splints. I’m not saying that’s what happened, but you have been warned.

Beautiful state Capitol that is quite literally sitting on top of a hill. The building is well maintained, architecturally striking, and lovely to stroll through. Many murals and statues celebrate Utahs history.

The Utah State Capitol Building is a stunning architectural masterpiece and a must-visit landmark in Salt Lake City. Perched atop Capitol Hill, the building offers breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding mountains, making it a perfect spot for both history buffs and those simply looking to enjoy the beauty of Utah’s capital.The first thing that strikes you is the grandeur of the building’s exterior. The neoclassical design, with its massive columns and majestic dome, is reminiscent of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., but with a unique touch that reflects Utah’s rich heritage. The grounds surrounding the Capitol are beautifully landscaped, featuring lush lawns, blooming flowers, and a variety of memorials and statues that add to the historical significance of the site.Once inside, the Capitol is just as impressive. The rotunda is absolutely breathtaking, with its soaring ceilings, intricate murals, and grand staircases. The artwork and craftsmanship throughout the building are remarkable, capturing the history and culture of Utah in every detail. The Hall of Governors and the legislative chambers are also worth exploring, providing a glimpse into the state’s political history and current workings.What I particularly loved about the Utah State Capitol is the sense of openness and accessibility. The building is free to visit, and self-guided tours allow you to explore at your own pace. There are also guided tours available if you want a more in-depth experience. The staff and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to share interesting facts and stories about the building and its history.In summary, the Utah State Capitol Building is not just a government building; it’s a symbol of the state’s pride and history. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, this landmark is definitely worth a visit.

Neat place to visit and learn about! The architecture is beautiful. The tour for us (school group) included being able to see the earthquake supports that have been recently placed under the building. We were also able to see the court room. In that room is a hand-made timer for helping the speakers know when to stop. The timer is in the shape of a traffic light that was built by Lester Farnsworth Wire who made the first version of a traffic light in the state of Utah, in 1912. The "traffic light" timer is still used today. There are great resources on the Utah state capital website such as scavenger hunt games and coloring sheets for use during your tour. So much to see and learn about.

Our 1st stop here upon arriving from Ft Worth, to visit family and grab some of that historic snow! We just randomly arrived, and walked right in, and took a stroll throughout the building. Tours are available, but not for us today... timing. The architecture is stunning, regal, and somewhat intimidating. Bring your best behavior, and quiet voice, as this place will transform you to a different time and place. WOW! The history, art, marble, and meeting rooms were a delight to wander about. I suddenly found my posture improving, and my respect for those before us, well... humbling. Yay for us, just spontaneously stopping in. So worth your time. Nice job Utah!

The most beautiful state capital I've visited so far. Full of history, elegant and so much fun. And the surrounding environment was just amazing. This city is really clean, beautiful and comfortable. Very attractive place as a whole.

Im not one to typically go on tours as I find sometimes they can be a bit dry. This one was actually good fun, about 30 minutes walk around that is done every hour.

It is absolutely great building worthy to visit. No need appointment. Go through inside, there are a lots of history introductions on the second floor. Specially there is the statue and of our prophet Mr Brigham Young. The style of architecture and inside decoration is unique. Strongly recommend my friends to visit here.

This is one of the nicer capital buildings. Very large and good interior with nice Marvel and paintings throughout the dome as well kept and everything is very clean. I like to see the beehives hidden in the architectural and art throughout

Wow! What an amazing capitol! We stopped here early Sunday morning and found it to be open to the public. With multiple floors to explore and tons of displays, we spent a solid hour and more learning about various pieces of Utah's history. Well worth a family visit!

Very impressive in architecture and size. Great 360 degree view of SLC and further out. Has chimes or bells and rings on the hour, perhaps more often. Arrived at 6pm so it was closed for the day.

Wonderful building and all surroundings. As I did not have the chance to visit Capitol in Washington DC, this is the closest building to the DC one. And it is just incredible.

Our visit to Utah's State Capitol building was a highlight of our capital city tour. This architectural masterpiece, with its rich history, stands as one of the finest among state capitols. The intricate details and stunning design was captivating, making it a must-see for anyone in Salt Lake City.Exploring its hallowed halls and learning about the state's history added depth to our experience. The architecture was absolutely breathtaking and the exhibits providing a unique perspective of the city and State's history.I added pictures to showcase the grandeur of the Capitol building itself. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture buff, or just seeking a fantastic viewpoint, the Utah State Capitol building should be on your list. 🏛️🌟#HistoricBeauty #CapitolAdventures #UtahStateCapitol

Absolutely beautiful! Probably one of the most beautiful Capitol buildings I have seen so far! You can see the lovely mountains and stroll around the grounds for some stunning views or picnic on the lawn. Inside there are so many beautiful views as well, perfect for photography or just enjoying. On the 4th floor there is a bunch of cool facts about movies and the other floors have a lot of cool info as well. Definitely make sure to visit if you're in here!

A newer capitol compared to many of other states. But well preserved and taken care of. The rotunda was beautifully designed depicting the history of Utah. A quick place to walk around and a good park to walk around. Great neighborhood. If you are lucky you may meet someone who works here and get to talk about the ins and outs of a capitol.

My recent stroll around South Lake City led me to the Salt Lake City Capitol, a true historical gem framed by majestic mountains. The neoclassical architecture is a testament to timeless design, while the well-maintained grounds provide a serene environment. Inside, the Capitol's historical significance is on full display. The carefully curated exhibits and artifacts showcase the state's rich political and cultural heritage. The knowledgeable staff enhances the visit with their expertise, making the overall experience both informative and enjoyable.

Great building to visit! Government and politics aside, it's worth a visit if you've never been. The entrance is on the east side (to the right if you approach the building from the main steps). That's the bottom floor, so you'll need to go up one floor to reach the main beautiful floor. On higher floors you'll find info and exhibits on the architecture, history, and trivia of this building and all of Utah. I learned so much about so many city and state historical events that I felt like I was in a museum. Street parking is free for two hours.

Among the other 52 state capitals I have been to this one stand a literally above the rest! If you love giant marble buildings and old timey elevators Come check it out if you have a moment or two

Great views of the Salt Lake Valley. Also some gorgeous neighborhoods in the vicinity with homes ranging from big mansions to country-esque cabins. Slight gain in elevation from downtown.

Five stars for scenery, I don’t know anything about the politics.What a lovely place to spend an hour walking around. Many of the biggest sites in downtown Salt Lake City are very nearby, and parking at the capitol and walking to them is a great way to get a feel for the area.

Beautiful view from behind the capitolAlso researching names of state representatives to talk to about about problems with some laws/policies there was one of 6 representatives available it was Christine Watkins. Thankyou Christine! She was sincere and made time to visit and help me with some concerns. I hope she gets the support and acknowledgement she needs to continue.

I took the TRAX train downtown to City Central and walked from City Central to the Capitol building. It’s a moderately difficult walk because half of it is uphill. Good walk for exercise! The cherry blossom trees are in bloom this time of year. They line a gravel trail that goes in a complete circle around the Capitol building. It’s another good hike and it’s not uphill. There are monuments and statues to view all along the gravel trail.I went on a Thursday afternoon around 2pm and the Capitol building itself was closed. No one could go inside and view the interior of the building. That was a real letdown. Why is the Utah people’s building closed during normal business hours? Are there not enough tax dollars to have security there during normal business hours so citizens can go in and explore our Capitol building? I marked a star off because it was closed. But it is a great place to explore. People were picnicking on the lawn, flying a kite, kids were running around and climbing up on things, etc. Just be sure not to go there when protesters are demonstrating.

We had the opportunity/honor to visit the Utah State Capitol in FEB_FY2024 and it was an amazing experience, a great opportunity to learn more about Utah's history and legacy.We did a plant tour and for sure it's a remarkable building.Definitely, it's a place that deserves my respect. It was a privilege.

Title: Utah State CapitolVisited on : 7th March 2024Perched on Capitol Hill, the Utah State Capitol is an architectural marvel boasting three stunning domes inside and out. The rotunda dazzles with historical Utah paintings, while an impressive chandelier adds grandeur. Despite visiting at 6:30 pm, entry was easy, allowing us to admire both interior and exterior views of the city and surrounding snow-capped mountains. A must-visit for its beauty and historical significance.

Well worth it.I have been to Sacramento Capitol, but this one seems even more massive than the California one, even though Utah is a much smaller state.I loved the stone every where, majestic.

If you're looking for a very great and quite spacious building and grounds that are being used for the capitol of the state of Utah that also has really pretty cherry blossoms and lots of space to walk around, then, you have found it here at Utah's state capitol.It's a very nice way to spend 30 to 45 minutes in the early spring enjoying the beautiful sights and aromas of the cherry blossoms. With interesting monuments and historical things scattered about the grounds it's also quite educational.I give the state of Utah 5 stars. But since this is the government grounds, I'm gonna give it 3. Because governments, well, they're too big.

This capital is a magnificent display in architecture. The granite and marble are beautiful. The bumblebee statues at the front of the building are very nice.

The Utah State Capital is beautiful! It sits on the top of a hill where you can see a great view of SLC and the Wasatch Mountains. Definitely make sure to walk around inside. The murals and artwork are a must see.

Such a beautiful building! It’s free to tour and wander around the grounds. In the spring the cherry blossom trees are in full bloom and they are stunning! The inside is open to tour during regular business hours. Parking can be difficult but there is a small lot across the street to the south of the capital building by the super cute gift shop. Grab a souvenir or two there. Prices aren’t too steep and it’s a fun place to shop.

This is one of those places you go just to say you’ve been there. $5 per vehicle to get in and decent size parking lot. The visitor center is small but had some interesting information and a few souvenirs.The smell from the lake was almost unbearable! We wanted to dip a toe in but absolutely no way. This is def a stop for info and pics and not a camp or picnic spot for sure. I wouldn’t drive out of my way, but if you’re in the area, why not stop so you can say you’ve been.

My husband and I arrived right before sunset, so we didn't enter the park since the gate was halfway closed. We parked right outside of the entrance, where a lot of others were. We watched the sunset. Such a beautiful area.

$5 entry fee for age 65+, close enough to the water if u r wanting to swim, without walking out a mile, in the Great Salt Lake before it dries up. Showers (so u can rinse off) and rest room available. Bugs and smell come with the turf but still well worth it! Sure, the building had spiders - big deal. Leave them alone and you’ll b fine. The water didn’t seem as salty as I expected, felt more like ocean water (but online says it ranges from 7% to 15% 🤷🏼‍♀️). I hear the north arm is up to 30% (the Dead Sea sits at about 37% the ocean about 3.5%) so I’ll head up north next!

We came to see the sunset over the lake and was not disappointed. This time of day presented some of the best light I’ve ever seen for photographs. The visitor center closes at 5, and we got there just as it was closing. We didn’t get to see the inside exhibits, but there are some outdoor interpretive signs about the lake at a nearby overlook. There are also signs outside the visitor center that tell you about the copper plant nearby.

This is worth the $5 entrance fee to enjoy a visitor's center and walk paths for views of the great Salt Lake. The park and its ultrawelcoming staff encourage you to explore and take in fascinating history. The lake is now at its smallest point and has been reshaped over 14,000 years. Learn about brine shrimp (also known as sea monkeys) and the habitat. There is a great little gift shop with post cards and trinkets curated from the salt of the lake. There are many educational signs as you meander short paths and take in views of the lake. On this side the salt is lower and they encourage you to put your hand in and are so moved We went on a hazy day. I couldn't tell if that was related to mining operations or something else, but nothing that felt like it tarnished the experience.

First time to come this lake, peaceful lake. We come here at noon, very hot. Near the lake area there is huge mosquitoes. We just take a picture,then left. Didn’t explore to much about it. Hope next time we have a time to take boat to lake tour.

Super pretty place although the water is super low and kinda gross when it’s this low, there also isn’t a whole lot to do here unless you have a kayak or something so I don’t know if it’s worth the money to get in It’s still a really great place to see the lake though!

One of the best nature places in Salt Lake City. A bit of a drive from the city. Walk on the lake's shore. If clear and sunny, great view of lake, mountains. The ranger station is helpful w answers. Buy a small container of salt for your table. Spectacular view of stars at night.I also recommend Antelope Island.

I loved the view here! The pay was about 10$ for a Ford and we (5) had a great time. Stroller friendly and the bathroom was clean. The water was actually salty to taste. Loved this for a great experience

Worth a visit. Great scenery. Very cool seeing a vast lake and knowing the only living things in it are brine shrimp and flies. Tons of flies. The smell isn't great by the shore, but it's ok at the lookout.

Worth the $5 vehicle fee to check out at least once. The visitor’s center has an interesting little exhibit that explains the geographical history behind the salt lake. Friendly staff, clean bathrooms. And there are sea monkeys, which is fun! (Brine shrimp that live there.) There’s a small, smelly marina. Haven’t the slightest desire to hop in a boat but to each their own. There are dead pickled birds scattered across the shore. Some salt deposits which are cool to see. I wouldn’t take your dog off the leash here. Glad I visited but don’t feel the need to come back.

This was a fun place to check out! It’s a pretty area with a nice view of the surrounding mountains. Be aware that there were a number of dead birds around so keep a close eye on children.

I have visited this state park several times, but only in winter. From there you can see part of Antelope Island. They have a telescope to observe and you can also see the Great Saltier. In winter, it is very cold especially if there is wind. Here I share some images from our Utah's Lakes and Reservoirs photography project. Contemplating the Great Salt Lake never disappoints. It is a walk very close to the city that everyone will experience.

Great park. Beautiful views. The entry fee was 6$ and it was weird they didn’t accept Annual Pass permits.It was a very hot day and kind of ended up getting burnt when we stood there for just over ten minutes. So recommend lots of sunscreen.There is is visitor park available but did not go there.

Great Salt Lake State Park providing access to a picturesque view of the lake. The visitor center is convenient, featuring a small store and clean restrooms for visitors. However, the park lacks substantial recreational activities beyond enjoying the scenic beauty. If you're looking for a peaceful spot to appreciate the Great Salt Lake's allure and enjoy basic amenities, this park is worth a visit.

The Great Salt Lake is a stunning natural wonder, but be prepared for the strong smell and abundance of flies and spiders, especially near the shoreline. Despite the creepy crawlies, the lake's beauty is undeniable.

We went there to watch the sunset - which was amazing! But there are a lot of spiders and brine flies all around which were very annoying. We couldn't swim in the lake because of the flies. There were other families though that seemed quite comfortable and were swimming!

Very disappointing. Not well maintained and the beach smells awful. They charge you five dollars to enter the park. They have a small viewing area that overlooks the lake, and you can walk out to the small beach area. You have to walk through brush to get out to the beach. This area could be so much more than it is if the state would put a little effort into the location. Very disappointing compared to the other state parks.

I’m not sure what the big deal is with this lake? It’s a huge salt lake that almost nothing can live in and smells like rotten eggs. It did a visitor center with some cool information in a trailer.

Despite the small size of the park, the view is good. There's a visitor center to learn about the ecosystem in the salt lake. Admission to the park is $10.

This place, it stinks. There are brine flies everywhere. Inexplicably, the beach was covered in dead birds when we were there. The refinery for the Kennecott copper mine loomed in the background like mount doom.Five stars. It’s awesome how awful it is.

Very pretty views of the lake. Minimal hiking but a great place to visit.

We stayed twice and thoroughly enjoyed the setting. Wish they had more sites. The lake and surrounding mountains were glorious. I would stay again.

The park at sunset is beautiful. There is a pungent smell coming from the water. I'm guessing it is from the salt and the brine. The setting sun makes the whole place glow in different colors of orange and yellow and red.

This is a convenient spot to visit the Great Salt Lake, with entry costing only $5 and clean restrooms available. However, there isn't much to see or do here. We stopped by on our way to the airport and spent some time. While we noticed a few people swimming, the water near the shore was not very clean.

My first time there! It was great to see the lake always wonder what the great salt lake lookes liked I finally got my chance was beautiful but that wind tho was no joke. I couldn't stand out there for to long

Small park, marina, and trailer style visitor center with a few gravel campsites right along the road in. Has picnic tables and handicap accessible observation deck. Short rough gravel walk to Taz Point, or you can walk down in the sand flats along the lake if you're OK with sand/mud, so wear durable shoes.

10 dollars to go in, and 1 minute later, we were out. No refund, haha. For real, look at my pictures, and you're gonna know why . Over all beatifull place, but don't get out of your car. The Flys bugs are gonna eat you alive. I have bites everywhere.

Very easy to find beautiful view although the smell wasn't pleasant but still a must go see. Don't forget the gift shop a lil of everything. You can walk on the beach some people were in the water but I wouldn't recommend.

The park is rather small but a good place to bring friends that cost from out of town to show them the Great Salt Lake. There is a fee to enter but very small $5. The access to beach is right there as well

When you visit Salt Lake City, it's a must to see the lake itself! We had a bad timing and didn't see much because of the fog - but we still enjoied our time. It's a small park, with a small visitor center.

Such a breathtaking landscape. Photos you take will never do it justice. Admission was $5. The one thing I didn't expect were the flies. Bring bug spray.

It is a wonderful place to enjoy the sunset peacefully, especially in spring and summer. Wonderful views, and you have a spectacular cycle path to ride a bike. It is a perfect pont view of the Great Salt Lake!

The lake is very peaceful and infested with gnats, not mosquitos. Has a strong smell upon arrival but the sunsets were beautiful. There is plenty of parking away from city, also a destination for camping and clean restrooms.The boat ride by exclusive excursions was the highlight of our trip to SLC. Captain Dunk told us jokes and history of the lake and even took us close to reef.

Friendly staff, clean bathrooms. And there are sea monkeys, which is fun! (Brine shrimp that live there.) There’s a small, smelly marina. Haven’t the slightest desire to hop in a boat but to each their own. There are dead pickled birds scattered across the shore. Some salt deposits which are cool to see. I wouldn’t take your dog off the leash here. Glad I visited but don’t feel the need to come back.

This was a fun place to check out! It’s a pretty area with a nice view of the surrounding mountains. Be aware that there were a number of dead birds around so keep a close eye on children.

I have visited this state park several times, but only in winter. From there you can see part of Antelope Island. They have a telescope to observe and you can also see the Great Saltier. In winter, it is very cold especially if there is wind. Here I share some images from our Utah's Lakes and Reservoirs photography project. Contemplating the Great Salt Lake never disappoints. It is a walk very close to the city that everyone will experience.

Great park. Beautiful views. The entry fee was 6$ and it was weird they didn’t accept Annual Pass permits.It was a very hot day and kind of ended up getting burnt when we stood there for just over ten minutes. So recommend lots of sunscreen.There is is visitor park available but did not go there.

Great Salt Lake State Park providing access to a picturesque view of the lake. The visitor center is convenient, featuring a small store and clean restrooms for visitors. However, the park lacks substantial recreational activities beyond enjoying the scenic beauty. If you're looking for a peaceful spot to appreciate the Great Salt Lake's allure and enjoy basic amenities, this park is worth a visit.

The Great Salt Lake is a stunning natural wonder, but be prepared for the strong smell and abundance of flies and spiders, especially near the shoreline. Despite the creepy crawlies, the lake's beauty is undeniable.

We went there to watch the sunset - which was amazing! But there are a lot of spiders and brine flies all around which were very annoying. We couldn't swim in the lake because of the flies. There were other families though that seemed quite comfortable and were swimming!

Very disappointing. Not well maintained and the beach smells awful. They charge you five dollars to enter the park. They have a small viewing area that overlooks the lake, and you can walk out to the small beach area. You have to walk through brush to get out to the beach. This area could be so much more than it is if the state would put a little effort into the location. Very disappointing compared to the other state parks.

I’m not sure what the big deal is with this lake? It’s a huge salt lake that almost nothing can live in and smells like rotten eggs. It did a visitor center with some cool information in a trailer.

Despite the small size of the park, the view is good. There's a visitor center to learn about the ecosystem in the salt lake. Admission to the park is $10.

This place, it stinks. There are brine flies everywhere. Inexplicably, the beach was covered in dead birds when we were there. The refinery for the Kennecott copper mine loomed in the background like mount doom.Five stars. It’s awesome how awful it is.

Very pretty views of the lake. Minimal hiking but a great place to visit.

We stayed twice and thoroughly enjoyed the setting. Wish they had more sites. The lake and surrounding mountains were glorious. I would stay again.

The park at sunset is beautiful. There is a pungent smell coming from the water. I'm guessing it is from the salt and the brine. The setting sun makes the whole place glow in different colors of orange and yellow and red.

This is a convenient spot to visit the Great Salt Lake, with entry costing only $5 and clean restrooms available. However, there isn't much to see or do here. We stopped by on our way to the airport and spent some time. While we noticed a few people swimming, the water near the shore was not very clean.

My first time there! It was great to see the lake always wonder what the great salt lake lookes liked I finally got my chance was beautiful but that wind tho was no joke. I couldn't stand out there for to long

Small park, marina, and trailer style visitor center with a few gravel campsites right along the road in. Has picnic tables and handicap accessible observation deck. Short rough gravel walk to Taz Point, or you can walk down in the sand flats along the lake if you're OK with sand/mud, so wear durable shoes.

10 dollars to go in, and 1 minute later, we were out. No refund, haha. For real, look at my pictures, and you're gonna know why . Over all beatifull place, but don't get out of your car. The Flys bugs are gonna eat you alive. I have bites everywhere.

Very easy to find beautiful view although the smell wasn't pleasant but still a must go see. Don't forget the gift shop a lil of everything. You can walk on the beach some people were in the water but I wouldn't recommend.

The park is rather small but a good place to bring friends that cost from out of town to show them the Great Salt Lake. There is a fee to enter but very small $5. The access to beach is right there as well

When you visit Salt Lake City, it's a must to see the lake itself! We had a bad timing and didn't see much because of the fog - but we still enjoied our time. It's a small park, with a small visitor center.

Such a breathtaking landscape. Photos you take will never do it justice. Admission was $5. The one thing I didn't expect were the flies. Bring bug spray.

It is a wonderful place to enjoy the sunset peacefully, especially in spring and summer. Wonderful views, and you have a spectacular cycle path to ride a bike. It is a perfect pont view of the Great Salt Lake!

The lake is very peaceful and infested with gnats, not mosquitos. Has a strong smell upon arrival but the sunsets were beautiful. There is plenty of parking away from city, also a destination for camping and clean restrooms.The boat ride by exclusive excursions was the highlight of our trip to SLC. Captain Dunk told us jokes and history of the lake and even took us close to reef.

Lagoon is a fun place. Lots of rides. It was a hot day but with the water spraying area at the front of the park we cooled right off. They have huge amounts of full grown, beautiful trees to give shade. We went during the week so lines were small. The staff are great! My only concern is the pricing, it is steep. They have added really neat areas and have plans for more that look amazing!!! Hopefully they can figure out some better pricing for everyone. Definitely worth supporting our local theme park! Still a less than going to Disney, but also a smaller scale. Great pools, fun pioneer village, awesome water rides, and of course amazing roller coasters. If you haven't been here try to make it. If it's been years you will be delighted by the new arrivals.

Went there on a Friday, some rides were a long wait but most of the wait times weren’t terrible. However, the line jumping that occurs at this park is one of the worst I’ve seen at a park. This also causes wait time to become longer.Some rides will give complimentary lockers for your stuff. Due to wait times we didn’t get back in time and it locked us out. We spoke to the ride attendant who was helpful and called someone to come help but weren’t told a time. Then spoke to another park employee who admitted the call was probably forgotten about and called again but also said it would be the ride supervisor who would need to help us. Still no one showed up. We then spoke to the ride attendant who again called. Found the ride supervisor who at first told us it was a different department but then finally did help us to open the locker.They have some good coasters but I don’t believe the admission price was worth it. I also didn’t realize they have animals you can view by taking the train. We just thought it was a train ride around the park but it goes through there area where they keep animals from lions, mountain lions, antelope, etc… However it was kinda sad seeing the animals. They didn’t seem to have much room and their enclosures were all concrete.

They've really updated the kids area and rides and is just as fun as when I was a kid. Love that they let moms work for season passes as well! Makes the rides go more quickly and smooth too.

We came to Lagoon to attend a company party. It was so amazing. They have rides that accommodate everyone! We had various ages from 0-80 I would say. They all had such a blast. There are some water rides for when you get hot, they have a sky lift type ride that will take you from one side of the park to the other. They have rides for the little ones that will keep them going for hours! The staff is friendly and helpful. The food that was served was good and the rides were well maintained and clean. They have it where those with disabilities can get on rides first, but the lines weren't too long which was nice. My only complaint is the parking is expensive, and they don't have enough attendants at closing to direct traffic so everyone can get out safely. We didn't really buy snacks or gifts so I couldn't tell you how much things cost, but I'm sure they are as expected. Will definitely come again. It is worth the trip for family fun.

Would have been 4 stars but there were a few factors. Minimum of 5 rides broke down/stalled while we were in line for them. Must have been our lot that day or something, but we would wait for 15-20 minutes to see if they would fix it but end up leaving. These rides are getting so old. Other than that, other rides were great.I'd highly suggest to bring a cooler and sandwiches as it's going to taste WAY better than anything that is offered there. I had minimal time to plan so we decided to just eat there. BIG mistake. Spent $10 for each order and I felt like I was back in high school with the quality of the pizza, hamburger and chicken. Lunch and dinner spent about $60 for 2 adults and children. We spent about $300+ for the 3 of us. If you go twice or more, I'd suggest their season pass. I think their 1 time ticket is a bit more expensive than I think it's worth. But it I'd what it is. 🤷

Lagoon Amusement Park has held its place as an enduring American classic since the late 1800s. The park triumphantly endured a destructive fire in the 1950s and underwent a remarkable metamorphosis, emerging as an expansive attraction that stands on par with esteemed counterparts like Seven Peaks and other renowned amusement parks. With a plethora of rides that can easily fill your entire day with excitement, and come Fall, they host Frightmares, a captivating Halloween-themed spectacle. Lagoon undeniably claims the title of the most enjoyable amusement park for a considerable stretch of miles.

Oof Lagoon - it has my begrudging respect, but it's really way too expensive for what it is. If at all possible, try to buy it as part of a bundle, or what it's really geared for - a season pass for local families. I'd be much more charmed by it if it weren't so expensive! As it is, I really didn't think it was worth it until I rode Cannibal at the end of the day, and that's a properly good ride.I also really like Colossus, and love that they have two proper haunted houses. They also have dedicated single rider lines for Wicked and Cannibal, which work really well! Make sure you ask if it's chained off. There are two shows - a magician and an Alice in Wonderland pop music show, and both were better than they had any right to be! And the whole pioneer village area is very unique and quiet.But on the whole - the park is geared towards families, not the biggest thrills. It's trying to be a big park, but acting like a small one - with smeary hand stamps, tickets per ride, short queue lines - it just can't handle big crowds. And on a Thursday, I barely had to wait for anything, not even Cannibal.

I absolutely love coming here with my husband. We don't have any kids, but we still have fun. Just went to frightmares and paid extra to see the show Seance, and that was so crazy and cool! We also got to ride the new ride primordial. We waited in line for 2 hours. It was worth the wait! Never experienced anything like it and absolutely had a blast. We bought some items in their gift shop.

Great park, lots of fun rides. The kids area is almost entirely shaded. You are allowed to bring your own food and drinks in which is a rarity these days. We drive in from out of town multiple times a year to enjoy some family fun!Fairly short waits for most rides.

Overall this place is an absolute win… even if my 44 year old experience is different from the kids’.We went on a Friday, during summer vacation - most lines were at most 15 minutes. Some rides the kids got off and ran to the front to get right back on. Primordial was the longest line at exactly an hour.Much of the decor was old and could use a good cleaning or dusting, but that didn’t detract the fun. Pioneer Town was adorable and such a cool experience, especially for grandparents to walk slowly through for a cool down/ walk down memory lane.We and everyone else that rode Rattlesnake got absolutely soaked, like jumped in a pool fully clothed soaked. It was a welcome cool down on a 95 degree day, but if you’re wearing jeans and a button down shirt like many older men I saw, maybe steer clear. 🤣 They walked off the ride like soggy zombies.14,13 and 9 year old loved all the rides and rode many of them several times. Every single ride made me sick. Motion sickness is one of my super powers and Lagoon brought out the best in me. Nausea, vertigo, headaches… I got it all. No issues whatsoever for the kids or my husband (also a big kid).Terroride has a thrill level of “low” and I about had a heart attack at the jump scares, so I guess that shows how well I handle this stuff.We stayed until the park closed and squeezed every drop of fun out of this place. We will be back!

I had a lot of fun here! I arrived around 1 and stayed until 9 and still rode most of the coasters. The park wasn't too crowded until the evening time. The rides were thrilling and exciting.Word of warning: this is an amusement park, not a theme park. The theming is not the best here, because this park is meant for exciting thrill rides.Prices were okay, but still a bit on the expensive side.Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and would come here again for just a select few rides. Especially to ride Cannibal a couple more times! If you're a thrill-seaker, this is a must-ride! The initial 105 degree drop produces an unreal feeling I had never felt up to the point of this ride.

Very very fun! Love the rides, the lines weren't too long. They moved at a very efficient pace. Food was pretty good, a little pricey but that's common everywhere nowadays. All in all, had q really fun day here

Expensive but plan to spend the entire day here. Tons of ride options and even have a little kid area. Pioneer Village has the popular Rattlesnake Rapids ride (you will get wet!) as well as old buildings to walk around with informational plaques about the history. Ice cream here is fantastic. Lots of eateries everywhere and carnival games to play.

Had a blast! The lines were not to long, I think the longest I waited was about 30 mins which isn't bad honestly. The park was clean, the food was good. The beaver tails were delicious. Cannibal, Wicked, and Colossus were my favorite rides to go on.

We love going to Lagoon each year and always get a season pass. We enjoy that they continue to bring new and innovative rides to the park. We had the opportunity to ride the new Primordial ride yesterday and it’s a fun experience. Something very unique and not found anywhere else. We are excited to ride it again and again.

I've always loved going to Lagoon! It's been the highlight of my summers growing up, and now my own kids feel the excitement. We haven't been when the water park was open since i was probably 12 (in 30's now) I'm hoping to make it again this summer. The reason I couldn't give 5 stars is because of the wait to get on any of the rides. I know there's only so much a theme park can do about the wait times, but man, I wish the lines weren't 2+ hours at times. Like I mentioned before, we've been going at the beginning of the season, which could have a play in the wait/ridiculous amount of people, but I'm sure it is crammed full of people no matter the time of year. Do theme parks ever set a capacity? Sounds crazy I know, but it's hard to "get your money worth" when the majority of your time is waiting in a line. I LOVE that they let you bring in coolers too. We love having a lagoon picnic at our set up camp.If we weren't 6 hrs away, a season pass would be a given. That's the way to do it for sure.This trip we happened to be in SLC and heard the opening day was while we were here, so absolutely we went! Lines weren't too bad (except the new ride of course 😉) and a storm came through so very few of us stayed and at that point, NO LINES! Except we were wet and Freezing 🥶 WORTH IT 😁

huge place to walk around. it’s expensive to go though. quite a bit of rides that littles can go on but more for taller kids 48’ height is most rides minimum. it’s good for thrill seekers they have a lot of upside down rides and quite a bit of water rides. i don’t recommend the lagoon a beach, it’s very run down and not the funnest thing so save that money and go to a different water park. but it’s fun to go 1 time a year or more. not bad for little kids but better to go with older kids like teens.

My son rode the sky coaster today, and he said it was the best experience ever. And if you have a season pass, the x-venture rides are five dollars off, so that is a bonus for Lagoon season passes.And then on the new ride, Primordial (It was my first time) We waited over an hour and a half just because it kept on braking down.But other than that, it was an amazing day at the park. 👍

I had so much fun on my recent lagoon trip!! We went for our day date before prom and it was the funnest day date yet! The rides never disappoint! The only reason I gave 4 stars is it’s a little pricey.

It's always a fun day! The park is great, I only gave it a 4 star because it's always just a tad bit run down. They have a great balance between kid rides and thrill seeking rides. Lagoona Beach is also pretty decent. My kids love it!

I just had the most amazing day here.Some highlights include:Little to no wait time I went on a week day and it wasn't very busy)Smoke and mirrors showKind staff (so many happy faces who helped my day be amazing)Awesome rides (they have ride that will make you sick and rides that even grandma can ride in)Great food (it's an amusement park, foods expensive here)Nice locker rentalsGrab bags. (LITERALY THE BEST THING THERE. They are so fun to open and they have amazing things inside them too)

Lagoon is a really fun amusement park for young kids and teens plus adults let me just say i went on flying aces 6 times and I am dizzy now🤣 but rattlesnake rapids is the place to go if you need to cool down and mouse trap hurts🤣 I'm definitely going back really soon😁😁

We had a get out pass with a family of 7 this visit paid for itself. We are not a big family of going on rides. We went on a couple then spent about 4 hours at the swim park. Yes it was worth it. Especially the little kid area since we have a 2, 5, 7, 9 and 14 year old. It was easy to keep track of them but let them do their own thing. Would go again.

I just don't feel like it's not worth the cost. Go to Boondocks or Cherry Hill. Not only was it 100 per person but then you had to pay to do the race track and a couple other rides. Maybe some mist areas would help keep people cool on really hot summer days. Better direction around the park,it was hard to find the pool area. And the employees weren't helpful, Another guest helped us find it.

Lagoon is such a fun place to go and ride rides for all ages! We went on a day that wasn’t really busy, but we waited 1 hour and 45 minutes to ride their new ride they have. The price per ticket was a little bit expensive for what we got out of it.

I visited Lagoon on the opening day of its 2024 season. The park was busy, but most notably the staff felt well trained, friendly, and ready to go for its first day of operation. Cannibal and Primordial are must dos, and the park offers “old school” rides that really set it apart. We had lunch at the Biergarten which offered great food and a large selection of drinks. I look forward to someday returning to this unique amusement park.

Same park that I have known for years. Does not quite justify the cost. It's a decent amusement park but not a rival to Disneyland or universal studios.

Primordial, unfortunately, wasn't worth the wait in the heat. Enjoyed the ride itself, but the 3D element was unsophisticated and made me nauseous. Otherwise, it was a fun trip, and the sky coaster is worth the extra $15. Avoid the catapult during the hottest part of the day - you will bake!

It’s been several years since either me or my wife have visited Lagoon, and let me say it was far from what we remember or expected. The line jumping is horrible, lockers were meaningless as any and all backpacks were being let on any rides including cannibal and Wicked. As well as there never being any lockers available anyway. Not a single staff member put in any effort to greet or enforce any kind of park rules, several simply stood there on phones or had headphones in and were completely oblivious. Several rides were down and not running which is a given regardless of when you visit. IF YOU HAVE BACK PROBLEMS YOU SHOULD NOT RIDE ANYTHING THATS OLDER THAN WICKED, you will sincerely regret it. I’m only giving a star as it was still fun to get out of town for my wife’s birthday and to go here with her, however as a former ride operator I am very disappointed that the quality has fallen so far yet the prices keep rising. Something needs to change if they want people to keep coming here. The 2 new rides are great and have Disney vibes ,but the rest of the place is becoming worn and decrepit. Overall we won’t be coming back for a long while. Also who plants house plants outdoors in the full sun??

first time being here after leaving across the highway for four years. the new primordial ride is a unique and thrilling ride I've never been on. It's a combo of a roller coaster, interactive, and unpredictable ride. It's a must but damn, we were almost in line for two hours! this was on a Saturday... It's fun, it's cool, and it's crowded. Be prepared, come early, & a pro tip: bring something to do while you wait in line like trivia cards or the flip up phone game.

Frightmares is the best time to go to Lagoon. We had a blast in the haunted houses we went through (5 out of 8) and absolutely loved the SEANCE and Lore live performances. SEANCE was worth the extra money - such a great experience - and Larson, Ryan, and Curtis went out of their way to accommodate the wheelchair user in our group. I noticed many people among the staff paying special attention and care to our ADA needs throughout the park, and I was very impressed and thankful. It's been a few years since I've been to Lagoon, and it remains my favorite amusement park. I can't wait to come back next year!

I've been to many different theme parks around the country. Lagoon stands out to me because of their operations. They are very quick at keeping lines moving. I was also impressed by the friendliness of the staff. My main complaint is the queue lines. There is hardly any queue space, and the lines constantly spill out onto the midway. They have a world class coaster with Cannibal and many other amazing attractions. It is a very family-friendly park. I was impressed with my visits this summer, and I can't wait to return.

It's a fun park but the cost is a bit much for what it is. Overcrowded. I'd pay extra if they limited the amount of visitors so that it didn't take hours to ride a ride. Biergarten has great beer selection food was sub par for 20 bucks a plate (yes I realize paying resort fee) kids enjoyed lagoon a beach and daughter finally rode her first roller coaster . The selection of rides is decent everything from tiny tots to fairly extreme.

We purchased season passes this year which is really the only way to go. I don’t like that kids 2 and under can’t ride the rides for free, even Disneyland lets them. But my older kids have a great time. We went on a Thursday and nearly every ride was a less than 5 minute wait. I also love that you can bring in coolers with drinks and food.

The tickets are $100ea. and $25 for a fast pass to the Haunted houses (Which I did not go into because the lines are a nightmare). Besides the price Frightmares 2023 was fun.

I love this amusement park. There is something for everyone. It gets better every year. It has been open since 1886! That’s 10 years before Utah was even a state! I’ve been enjoying this park since about 1984 as a very young child and have always had a great time. I’ve gone through different friendships throughout those years but cherish all the memories I’ve had with my friends that have come and gone in that time. The prices at the park have really gone up, which is really the only bad thing I could say about the park. I don’t think they need to add a new ride every single year. People will keep coming back regardless. I do recommend this place, but no one really needs my recommendation. People from surrounding states even come here because there are no other amusement parks nearby for hundreds of miles.

I had the best day of my life celebrating my sisters sweet sixteen here! I rode on every single ride and not a single one was a let down! Also pro tip if you are there with just 1-2 people you should take the “single rider” and then you can just ride your favorite rides over and over again! Also the workers here are THE BEST I went around rock paper scissoring game workers and all of them let us play one free round and I won a ton of stuff for my sis! Also workers game me free lemonade when I was thirsty! Overall, this place is the best and I come here all the way from California just for the best day of the year. Do you and your kids a favor and take them for a day!(also if you show a coke can at the front you can get up to a 30% discount sooo there’s no reason not to go!)

Love lagoon. I love that they have shade almost anywhere you got. I have to say the kid Luke at hang time was so happy and friendly, I loved watching him interact with all the kids. I love that you can bring food in or purchase it. Great place to come with family, friends, or on a date.

Cool, fun rides. Don't think Primordial is worth the wait in line. But Cannibal, Wicked, Rocket, and the White Coaster are the best rides in the whole Park! Pioneer Village is really cool. Some awesome antiques, I just personally think that a lot of them should be in a museum rather than hoarded by Lagoon. Just my opinion though. Really recommend going to Lagoon and definitely visit Pioneer Village. No pics of rides but some cool pics of a peacock in Pioneer Village.

This place is amazing day or night and in all the seasons! So many events and shops. It’s always clean and there’s always plenty of parking! We love getting Fiiz and letting the kiddos play at the play ground!

I love the atmosphere here. Love the variety of restaurants. Love the stores that are here. You can always find what you're looking for. PLUS my favorite nail place is here; M Vince' Nail Spa so for sure go check them out.

Love the atmosphere, If I lived closer I would sit in the quad and enjoy the day while working from my laptop. Great selection of stores and restaurants, will come again. Very clean as well, parking was a little hectic.

Came shopping here with my wife and daughter. With a portion of my Christmas bonus I wanted to spoil my daughter. I've never been able to do that so it felt real good. We were there most of the day. I got some new gloves from Columbia that were a disappointment. The girls got shoes, clothes and beauty supplies. Great place to go shopping! Highly recommend, thanks Station Park!

I don’t go to station park often because I spend more then I should. Ha ha there are so many different stores and I love the pretzel maker and the candy shop! There is so much to do there and so many different options of food to choose from!

Station Park, Farmington is the premier go-to one-stop shopping and dining hub north of Salt Lake City. Within the central upscale complex you’ll find charming park like landscaping, an array of prime shops, restaurants, business/retail space, apartments/townhomes, and a hotel.Station park is bustling again after the pandemic adversely affected the hub closing numerous shops and restaurants throughout, however, the development of new businesses and apartments/townhomes is flourishing.

Station park is great!! There is so many quality stores as well as areas to sit near the fountain or simply sit outside. It’s a great place to stop by to grab food as they have fast food as well as sit down. It is definitely extremely busy during lunch time(especially with the rush of high school kids during the school year) so I do try and go a little before 12 or after 1. Although it is busy at times there is always parking. Great place to walk around or go to various stores.

I love visiting this outdoor mall with my boyfriend. There isn’t much entertainment unless you visit during an event but the place is bustling and the scenery in the center is beautiful. Parking is plentiful and there’s a cinemark too. There are a good variety of food places around as well if you’re hungry.As for the stores, our favorite is the Lego store, Barnes and noble, the tea place across from Barnes and noble, and build a bear. Thankfully our favorite stores are all next to each other!

Station Park is a mix of restaurants and shopping in an open air mall setup. Parking is best on the sides and just walk the interior. There are also some restaurants and shopping around the main mall area. Stores are fairly good and restaurants vary but they are usually good. My wife likes most of the stores for clothing and I like some of the outskirts stores. Parking is usually not bad and it can get crowded some days. A fun place to visit and the park with fountain is fun and they do displays that change with seasons as well.

Wonderful place to visit and have a lazy day enjoying the weather, shopping and people around you. The toy store and candy store are always fun to visit.

We love visiting station park! The fountains are fun, food is great and it’s always a fun experience with our without kids!

Love this mall and the whole atmosphere. Plenty of places to shop, dine and even hangout towards the south end with a pond, ice rink (winter months) and and outdoor play area. My kids love it and it's always super clean.

I'm very impressed with their holiday setup. Santa is within a small cottage, and groups are led in one at a time. It makes the experience much more intimate for the children. They also welcome patrons to take videos for free, which was very kind and doesn't happen at all Santa stops.

This is such a nice place to shop! A wide variety of stores and restaurants for all of your needs. Head to their website for a full list. The train, trolley and bus stops are on-site for easy access. There's even a Hyatt hotel for you to stay at if you wear yourself out shopping all day. :) There are plenty of periphery shops across the street, and just on the other side of the freeway is the Lagoon Amusement Park! So much to do in this area. It would be easy to spend several days exploring. Head to Farmington and stay awhile!

Wonderful shopping mall. Upscale stores and plenty of options to choose from. Traveling around the area and stopped in to do a bit of shopping! Super clean, well organized and even some history to learn!

Just great vibes. Fun fountain show that comes on randomly, good areas to just chill and enjoy the outdoors

There are a few things we love about Station Park and a few things we don't like as much. Build a Bear and the IT'SUGAR candy store are the perfect places for our traditional grandparent date when each of our 10 grandchildren turn 5. We love the Cinemark movie theater too. There are plenty of great places to eat. We love Tacanos. Most of our favorites are off the main campus. Ramen Haus is top notch. Santorini's is so fresh and full of flavor. And there's all our favorites, Zupas, Habit Burger, and so many more. In the summer it's fun to watch the fountain and in the winter there's ice skating.My main complaints with Station Park is how expensive most of the resteraunts and shops are. It's a very busy place and parking can be a challenge.

Station Park in Farmington is the place to go when you want to have a great time. The Farmington administration did this one perfect. The Dove and I totally enjoy going there with friends or family. So many great restaurants and shops. Great Job!!!

I have lived in Utah for a few years now and this is my favorite mall by far. It is exceptionally well kept with a great variety of stores including a few places to eat. There are also additional stores directly outside of the mall. I love world market - they have the most beautiful home decor. The candy shop in the mall is very fun and the H&M is great! I love to walk around the mall and windows shop.They have a nice fountain and play park in the center of the mall too. Everything you could ask for and more for a mall.

This is a great place to spend time with your family and friends. Lots of shops, cinema, restaurants etc

Went to a soccer tournament for the grandkids. Limited parking, considering the number of people there. It was very hot, but the grounds were well maintained. It sits next to the Farmington jail. Keep your wallet in your front pocket and have fun. Farmington station is next door. That's another review of its own.

Fun little outdoor mall spot with some great restaurants and outlet style shopping. It's a great mix of retail, cinema and food options.

Station park has good shopping and restaurants with some entertainment thrown in the mix. Be aware that most of the shops are fairly expensive in the inner mall. (Anything for a lower price is often on the outer edges of the mall.) They have good options for food, both fancy and quick bites, with a pleasant ambience of fountains and lights. Be aware if you want to take photos for an event here though you’ll need a permit or you may be kicked out.

Station Park is a great place to shop. I'm not really big on shopping myself, but I do like the wide variety and selection they offer as far as shopping, eating and entertainment in general. They have something to offer for everyone.

Beautiful town center style outdoor mall with lots of upscale dining options We stayed at the Hyatt hotel over there, and had sushi for dinner. Really enjoyed strolling the park at night.They had outdoor seating and there was a stage setup. They must have open air performances.

*Experienced The Antelope Island Sunset For The 1st Time Today!! Epic!! Super Clean!! 🦬 Roaming Free!! One Of Thee Most Beautiful Sunset Memories A Person Could Have!! Just Look At GOD'S Greatness!! Thank You For Keeping The Treasure Of Antelope Island Alive & Well!!*

First Time Visiting Antelope Island, Was told at Entrance it was Bug Season, She Sure was not Kidding by the time I hit the first stop, my car was Splattered, and you could hear the bugs. However once I drove farther into the Island the Bugs were not as bad. Still had a great visit, did not see any Antelopes, but saw lots of Bison. Was a very interesting stop on the way home

Beautiful park! Take your time to drive through the island in search for bisons and antelopes. The views are stunning! Dogs are not allowed on the beach. Make sure to check if it’s mosquito season and bring some repellent. There are several trails, with some easy options. Bring plenty of water with you as it can get very hot during the day. The entrance is $20 for the car.

What a treat! Totally unexpected surprise to see the wild life, the landscape and drive on the trails.Plan to spend several hours or days when you visit. There are miles of trails, lots of geocaches (if you're into that) and amazing animals. The Buffalo are everywhere!

We loved it and took photos of bison with a 800mm lens. Its important to remember to give wildlife their space and watch them from a safe distance.

Went here for sunrise and absolutely fell in love with it. We were lucky to catch the wild bison crossing the road in front of us. Our trip was in late September and the bugs were absolutely atrocious down near the ranch where we watched the sunrise and saw the bison. The bugs weren’t as bad down by the ranch though! wear layers so they won’t bite you and enjoy.

Spent 3 days camping and worth spending time out here. Buffalo, owls, coyotes, birds, and other wildlife. Visitor center is well done. RV park is spacious, clean and great views. Hiking and biking trails all over.

I hadn't been to this park in 6 years, it was so nice to see water towards the end of the entrance! (it was completely dry last time) There were so many bison's too! We saw hundreds with a bunch of babies as well! They crossed right in front of us! Great experience!

The parking situation at the main entrance is a little convoluted, but once you're in, it is some of the best views, trails, and photo ops you'll ever see! Especially if you aren't from a mountainous area.We showed up expecting to drive around the island and leave be we walked multiple trails, saw all kinds of wildlife, scaled a mountain, and took home some unforgettable memories!We could have easily stayed all day long! We ran out of steam way before we ran out of hills to climb!

So many hiking trails, easy and hard.Not too busy, plenty of places to park.Beautiful views.

We saw the park on YouTube watching a Venture Addicts Destinations Explained video about Salt Lake City. We went there to see the antelope and bison. We didn't see any antelope, but the bison put on a show. We saw one bison at first, then a small group, but eventually drove into several herds of them. Some just casually crossing the road in front and behind our vehicle. We also got several good views of the lake, what's left of it. I was kind of sad to see how much the Great Salt Lake shrunk. The YouTube video did mention the odor and number of flies on the island. The odor wasn’t that bad, but the flies (aka no-see-ums/midges) were an issue. Returning to the city after sunset was a problem. There were so many of them on the causeway that our car and windshield were covered with them. Luckily there was a gas station after you exit the causeway where we could clean our windshield. I still recommend going there to see the bison and lake. The sunset views were from Buffalo Point were amazing.

Absolutely beautiful views! Sure to have a bison sighting. We went twice and saw hundreds each time.

I visited this place in August month. Entrance fee is 15$ for each car. There are few trails and a beach inside. Dogs are not permitted to beach. There is a visitor center inside. It has some information about the wildlife around salt lake. People who are interested in wildlife photography, this is a must place to try it out. Various number of species fly/migrate here. Watch out for those bisons on road they are almost everywhere in the park.

Really great place to visit, just a short distance from the bustle of salt lake city is a wildlife and nature reserve on the shore of the shimmering great salt lake. Lots of buffalo, not that many antelope!

'Ello chaps,Located about 45 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, you will come to Antelope Island. A closed loop island, 42 square miles in size.It is $15 for per standard vehicle to get entry. If you're into hiking, biking, or exploring the great outdoors, this place is for you. be sure to keep a watchful eye out as you'll see jack rabbits, bison, deer, horses, and a slew of other wild and farm animals. What a great place to explore, especially when the weather is nice.The visitor's center is good spot to drop in, use the restroom and check out the gift shop. There are also a couple of cafes throughout the park.This place is definitely worth the trek over if you're visiting downtown. Make a half day or full day adventure out of it.Overall I give Antelope Island 5 stars out of 5.

If you love nature and wide open land this is an amazing island. The bison were amazing to see and were close enough to the road to clearly see but also keep a safe distance. The hiking trails are very long and impressive and cover most of the island, worth it if you are a hiker but be sure to bring plenty of water since the sun is brutal and there is virtually no shade.

Highly highly recommend visiting!! This was some of the most beautiful and diverse terrain all in one location. We travelled with our 3 dogs so didn’t do a lot of the hiking trails but still were able to see plenty of buffalo and sights! So much fun. Only disappointed that there are seasonal road closures 🤷🏼‍♀️

Beautiful views, lots of bison to see. They got a cool little ranch as well. Didn’t explore the whole island, but there is a ton to see.

Antelope Island is great in the fall, winter, and spring! Summer has a lot of bugs, but the trails are fun to ride and you'll sometimes see bison, deer, and big horn sheep.

This place is a must see!!!! Amazing views and hikes. Look at this place. The pictures just don’t even do it justice!!!

Someone suggested I visit this place when I had time. Had 4 hrs to burn so made it out here and OMG this place is so peaceful and beautiful!Only drove through and walked around Visiter Center and the Ranch but there is sooooo much more to do here! There’s a bunch of hiking/biking trails, camping grounds, horseback riding, and I’m sure a bunch more but 4hrs wasn’t enough!Don’t think I’d go hiking since there’s a possibility you’ll cross a Bisons path. I will definitely come back to horseback ride when I have at least a whole day to spend!$15 to drive your car in.

Cool Utah state park with a cafe that serves bison burgers. Also plenty of camping, hiking, & biking options. Horseback riding is also available but refer to website for complete details. Don’t pet the bison!

Absolutely amazing place to explore when visiting SLC or Park City. Not far from either place and a really beautiful destination. A mindful reminder of how amazing nature is. The visitors center has great information. The free roaming bison are so cool! And the landscape will not disappoint. A great place to see the salt lake and learn a bit more of what natural beauties UT has to offer. $15 entry fee per car. Lots to explore around we only had a few hours but could have probably been there for an entire day plus!

It’s a great day trip with great views. The visitors center has lots of great information on the wildlife, plants, and good walks/hikes to go on. Be prepared for lots of bugs and insects.

Beautiful views of the mountain and beach area. Got to see the Buffalo but not any Antelope. I don't think we went high enough into the mountains. Checked out the ranch but there was no guide to explain any of the things we were seeing. The mosquitoes were off the chain! Had to use the outhouse style bathroom and although it was clean, mosquitoes tore my buttocks up. Lol. Hiking trail near bathroom wasn't difficult but that walk to the beachfront was something else. Sand gnats everywhere. They didn't bite though. Bar & Grill on beach was closed the day we went. Took us a little over an hour to get there from Salt Lake City. There is a fee per car but only $15. You drive most trails but they did have a few walking. You can also camp there in RVs or tents.

I have been here several times and it never disappoints. I did get some insect bites but nothing compared to what I’ve had before. The views at this place are spectacular and the birding is also pretty great. The people that work at the kiosk when you first enter have always been so helpful and great at customer service. Also love the campgrounds. You get lots of space and the bathrooms are very well taken care of.

Antelope island feels like it could be a planet from the movie, Interstellar. Got lucky on my first visit here, saw an antelope, hundreds of bison 🦬, and 2 coyotes. Spectacular views a top Buffalo Point trail. $15 to get in.

Great fall hike! Taking the gondola up! It was fun but a little pricey to get to the top but spectacular views!

Snowbasin Resort in Huntsville, Utah, is an absolute gem! Riding the Olympic-themed gondolas to the top was an unforgettable experience. As we ascended, the views were nothing short of spectacular, and once we exited at the Needles Lodge, the adventure truly began.With hiking, mountain biking, and dining at the lodge all within reach, we opted for a hike to the top of the Wasatch Mountains. This is an amazing way to experience the beauty of Utah.The hike was breathtaking, literally and figuratively! We crossed patches of snow that hadn’t melted, and in the middle of July, we found ourselves making mini snowmen and throwing snowballs – a unique experience in the summer heat. The 360-degree panoramic views from the top were simply stunning. We were treated to a mesmerizing view of Ogden, Layton, the Ogden Valley, Pineview Reservoir, the Great Salt Lake, and even Antelope Island in the distance.This is a must-do experience for anyone visiting the area. The memories made at Snowbasin will last a lifetime. Highly recommend!

If you want great skiing, Snowbasin is where you should go! They take great care of their runs by grooming them regularly. Middle Bowl lift was replaced in the 2021 off season. It’s a 5 minute ride to the top!I had so much fun my last couple of visits! I look forward to going again soon.

Great mountain. Wish we caught it on a powder day. But we did get a blue bird day. The lodge area is really nice. First time at the mountain so there was a lot of traversing to get around and explore. There is a good amount of parking available. Didn’t fill up and we got there around 10:30 but it was a weekday. Recommend going to the top and taking the tram. Great views up there.

Snowbasin was great. Lots of terrain to ski, powder stashes here and there, especially if you hike a little. The groomers were in good shape and skied fast, too. The added gondolas and trams from 2002 Olympics are great.

Superb...Fantastic experience. Very Organized. They had all kinds of Ski Slopes. Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced. 9000 feet high mountain slopes. Ski lifts or closed Gondolas to carry you up the mountain. The Resort is very popular amongst the locals. They have trained instructors. Huge gift shops with lot of items. Huge eatery, Seperate building for rentals. We took a whole day package deal along with Ski lessons and was at a good price. It is about 1 hour drive from Salt Lake City. Ample parking. Lot of warm places to sit with family and enjoy lunch. We loved it as family and would highly recommend the same to other families / Adults.

A place for the books! We came for the Blues, Brews and BBQ event a few weeks back and loved everything about our day trip! The scenery is gorgeous, they have many different hike/bike trails, mini-golf, good beer, a nice restaurant at the top of the mountain, a gondola ride and to top it off... it's a dog friendly venue!!

Pretty close proximity to Salt Lake City and has a local, homey feel that is wonderfully run from the seemingly dozens of parking guests to the wonderful restaurant staff. The lodges were extremely nice and almost felt like a nice country club. We went there on a Saturday jn mid march and it was not crowded with no lift lines longer than 5 min. It is on the smaller side with only few chairlifts, one gondola, and a very short tram mostly serving a hike along a very steep and rocky ridge with various chutes to go down. Mountain consists of a fair share of blues and greens with some blacks mixed in. There were some good tree runs with pretty good snow even a couple days after it actually showed. It seemed most skiers of the mountain were not very good and stuck to groomers or easy runs. There are a lot of chutes that can be hiked too and feed down to the main top area of the mountain. There is a very short hike to the top of one of the peaks that has amazing panoramic views of the spectacular rocky tops of the mountain along with the salt lake and surrounding flat areas with mountain rising up in the distance. All around good family mountain with some steeper stuff and a small feel. Definitely worth it especially on weekends where more mainstream mountains in the area are packed.

The weather was perfect today, blue skies, sunshine and good temp. Lots of great snow. Not crowded. Lodges are gorgeous.Spring 2023 Spring skiing is awesome!!

Went skiing for the first time ever..!! From South Carolina, visiting the area for work and decided to give it a try since they had so much snow this late in the season (April 15, 2023). Everyone, including the two gentlemen who bought me a beer prior to my run down the beginner slope, were very friendly and helpful!! Beautiful resort!! I plan to return again next season and take some lessons, and become a better skiier!! Thank you Snowbasin for making my first trip so enjoyable!!

My favorite resort in Utah I grew up skiing Sun Valley so lucky this one so close to home!!!!!!!! Excited

Had a lot of fun doing the brunch at the needles restaurant. Great food and service. They also held concert and car expo. Lots of great vibes! Ride +all u can eat+concert entrance for 79$. Not bad! 💕

The mountain is wonderful, and even despite this winter being pretty lousy, almost everything is open. The snowmaking machines are always working, keeping the slopes snowy, rather than rocky. We had an amazing experience at this resort.

Amazing place, beautiful view, plenty of parking, completely worth the trip, we missed the brunch but it gonna happen next time.

Rode the gondola to the to for arhe brunch buffet. It was a bit pricy, but it was the best buffet food I have ever had. I was pleasantly surprised. Beautiful views and some fun hiking at whatever level you want to get in to.

One of the most beautiful resorts with exceptional runs. The runs are so long and perfectly pitched. Everywhere you go is beauty beyond belief!

It is a gorgeous ski mountain with break taking views of the mountains. Unfortunately, the parking situation there was a nightmare. They badly need a reservations system for that. Even though their website says most easy to access, it actually took 30 minutes in backed up traffic just to enter into the premises. We also did not like how bumpy the mountain was. There were little to few flat runs. Your only choice was moguls on just about every downhill pathway. If you love the bumps then this is the place to go. We had driven an extra 50 minutes to escape the hustle and bustle of some of the other ski resorts in Utah and were disappointed in the result. If you live in Ogden, I guess this is the best choice, but if coming from elsewhere, not so much. We are not going to rush back here anytime soon.

It was our first time skiing in Snowbasin and we went Thursday & Friday last week. We have the Ikonpass and we wanted to ski a new resort. It snowed on Thursday and it was cold. The resort’s lodges were beautiful and comfortable. It was nice to relax and get back on the lifts again once we warmed up. I appreciate the gondolas. It wasn’t very busy on Thursday, and there were no lift lines. There were more cars/people on Friday. It was a beautiful day. The resort offered shuttles from the parking lot. We were worried that there were going to be long lines. It was only long in the early morning. Snowbasin is beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, we enjoyed our experience.

Spent a week in Utah and hit up snowbird, Brighton, powder Mountain and Snowbasin. Went to snowbasin on a bluebird Monday and all I can say is WOW! Great views, mountain was 100% open, lodges were immaculate, bathrooms were the finest I’ve ever been to, food was extremely expensive, staff was wonderful, lift tickets were priced reasonably, selection in gift shop was great. This was both our favorite mountain and we’ll definitely be back! Cheers!

Awesome slopes, nice views and decently priced lift tickets $215/day vs $300 at Park City. Snow was good and you can find slopes for every skill level. Definitely coming back.

Great spot for a company ski day! The lodge was among the nicest I’ve ever been to. We had the Huntington room with catering services. Emma and Alex did a wonderful job coordinating this event with me and it was a fantastic success!

The mountain was absolutely fantastic with a ton a varied terrain. Our group had all skill levels from beginner to advanced and everyone was able to find a spot on the mountain to enjoy.The glades past strawberry were incredible.The lodge was very, very nice with bathrooms located right next to the lift so you don’t have to trudge inside.The line to park was long but I did enjoy not having to make a reservation. We arrived at 10:30 and there was plenty of parking space left.The only improvement would be to upgrade the pass scanners so you don’t have to take the pass out of your jacket every time.

Must see! The Hill Aerospace Museum offers a vast array of all things aerospace plus. From a model of the first working airplane to more modern aircraft, munitions, personal stories of the brave men and women who have fought for our country, detailed display information, a cockpit tour and many larger aircraft that surround the museum. A huge thank you to the many wonderful volunteers for their service to our country and their help in making our experience greater! They can answer your questions, direct you to whatever your looking for, point out hidden gems, offer personal stories, insight and info on current and future features. I took 3 boys aged 5-7 and it kept their attention for over two hours. Entry is free but donations are encouraged throughout the museum with convenient donations boxes. We will return to learn more about our countries past through this thoughtful and beautifully curated museum.

What an awesome museum and static displays. The whole museum is modern and clean. The aircraft are from all different eras (Early aviation to Modern era), and there are quite a few in each display. There is no fee, but you can donate throughout different areas but no pressure. The volunteers who work there are very knowledgeable and friendly and love to explain all about the areas they worked in the military. Talk to them as you get more out of the museum when you do.

This place is incredible! You only get a little glimpse of it from the freeway, but the second you enter, you realize this place is way cooler than you expected! First, they have an SR-71 inside this place! The first stealth plane that flew at 80,000 and could take photographs while flying at mach 3! SUPER COOL!!Next, they have literally hundreds of things to look at including F-16s, an A-10, missiles, bombs, literally, more than 50 full size fighter jets, airplanes, helicopters, and more. You could spend hours here and it only feels like minutes! Plus, they are continuing to develop "Experiences" that let you go inside airplanes, missile silos (replace scaled down) and more. It's just amazing what they have here.

I was beyond impressed with this museum.I know good aerospace museums that would easily charge $30+ for tickets to see these kinds of aircraft. I was extremely surprised to see that admission was free and there were way more aircraft than I had expected. For the average citizen, they might not realize how great this place is unfortunately. The only one I've been to that tops it is the Smithsonian in DC, and well, they are hard to beat. Great job.Overall it is an amazing museum. Will be back again.

Incredible! So many airplanes. I could've spent all day here and then some. Went while visiting Salt Lake City and was well worth the visit. Outdoor area with larger planes and two large indoor museum spaces. Helpful staff, as well.

This museum was really amazing and a must if your in the area. Also call ahead for someone to do a tour with you I recommend asking for Kenneth he was wonderful to my family and myself. We didn’t know about the tours but gave us a little history for the time he had before he started a tour with another family and/or school.I will put some of the pictures that I was able to take and share. It was free to go in but do recommend giving a donation because the up keep as well as seeing these volunteers were well worth it.Thank you to the volunteers staff and the cute gift shop place too. Thank you to our vets who served and lost there life’s serving our country.

Honestly, super impressed! I’ve been to a lot of air museums and this one is one of the best. They have super rare planes that you don’t get to see often. F117, F22, U2, B29, P51, SR-71. They are all there! Even if it is out of your way it is worth seeing. Very impressive. Very clean. It’s also free which makes it an automatic win, but with all the amazing planes, helpful staff and clean environment, this is one of the greats.

Great place to take your boys to. The Veterans working there are so sweet and eager to share. 1-2 hours to walk through it all. Cute gift shop. Masks were required.

We loved coming to the museum! They have an outside section with their big airplanes and the older smaller exhibits inside.They have well written signs about the exhibits and volunteers that can also tell you different stories and background on the exhibits.The museum is pretty big and is geared more towards school kids and adults. I would bring a stroller for young kids since there is a good amount of walking. They do have a flight simulation that you can reserve for school aged kids and a C-130 you can go inside. We will definitely be back after the construction and addition of new exhibits!

A truly amazing museum. The amount of history here is stunning. They have an abundance of jet planes - everything from fighter jets such as the F-15 and F-16, reconnaissance planes such as the SR-71, bombers and transportation planes, and so much more. The planes come from multiple generations, so you will can see an F-4 and a more modern unmanned drone.You can also see weapons, sit in a stationary cargo plane, see exhibits of military uniforms and equipment, and there are tons of areas that talk about women in the military, POWs from the Vietnam War, and more.The museum is free but encourages donations. We left a donation and bought some from the shop to show our support. Even the gift shop has a great selection.We took a close friend who is an Air Force veteran. Thanks for such a great experience and we will be sure to come again!

The museum has a pretty impressive display of planes and ICBMs. Staff are super friendly and most have worked on airplanes previously so they can provide a lot of insight. The museum is very accessible for wheelchair users, those with mobility impairments, and those with service dogs. Fair amount of walking inside and outside to see the display of planes. Well worth the trip out to see them.

Such an awesome, historic experience! Got to go with my grandfather, who enjoyed every second of it. Between him and the random volunteers walking around I got to learn a lot, and he got to talk to people that understood fully his stories from his days in the Navy. Thank you for this experience.

An amazing exhibition with civil and military aircraft of all kinds.A large part of the exhibits are covered in a climatized hanger. The bigger ones are outside.You get a feel of the Cold War when you see the size of B52 and other bombers.Also, some good history panels re Korea and Vietnam warIt is easy to spend 2-3 hours here, and entrance is free

I was visiting Hill in November of 2023 and always make it a point to check out the Air Museums whenever I’m visiting a base thats new to me. Its not very far from the base at all, it wasn’t crowded at all either and every single person we came in contact with was so friendly and welcoming and just happy to have visitors and to educate about all of the different types of aircraft, they really are lovely. Thank you for being so kind and for the wonderful conversations too!I had fabulous conversations with a few men working there in different areas, I happened to be wearing my U2 Dragonlady sweater and they were so excited to find someone that knew what that plane was lol it was great and we had fun sharing stories from their past and my present life as an Air Force spouse and telling them all about my husband who works with the U2.The museum was very clean, laid out well and looked like they will be expanding soon and opening another hanger. I was sad that the Fighters weren’t being shown at the time, but I hope to see them one day. Thanks for making my visit a memorable one, I’d definitely come back again!

Absolutely one of the better air museums around, staff if excellent and very knowledgeable on all the displayed items. Staff very friendly, seem to know just when you are about to ask a question to provide the answer. Would be interesting to see what museum adds on in future and would recommend and visit once again.

The perfect place for a rainy day! Huge halls with unique airplanes and helicopters. It is very interesting for boys because there is an opportunity to look at motors and parts! It is nice that there were many employees who shared information and answered questions. I also liked how the information about each exhibit was presented. We had a great time!

What a fantastic aerospace museum local to Davis county at Hill AFB!It was recently shut down for a few short weeks (23 October - 3 November) for some expansion/rearrangement but is back open to the public, albeit with more work in progress with the L.S. Skaggs 'wing' still under construction (as I post this on 4-Nov-2023).As such, a few of the aircraft are not currently viewable (the SR-71, for example).Otherwise, it was a bright and cheery day today at the museum and look forward to getting back there soon to check out the expansion when it's done!

This place is huge and they have a lot of planes and exhibits. We were told they just opened a new wing. The admission is free but making a cash donation to help with operating costs is highly appreciated. The museum is well maintained with helpful staff.

I've been visiting here off and on since I was a kid after a school field trip in 5th grade. It has grown so much over the years.The history here is amazing. My kids love it. The new addition is awe inspiring. Can't wait to see the stealth restoration finished.They have aircraft from every era. From massive cargo plains and bombers, to fighter jets, helicopters, and even spy planes.Admission is free, but you can donate to help maintain the exhibits. Plan for a few hours, there is a ton to take in.

Love it here. We come often.The new planes and jets are way cool.The new Air Force One plane was so cool. Went home and watched all the documentaries we could find on Air Force One (plus some action movies 😆) and then came back to see it again.A fun, free place to visit. Great for all ages, and the volunteers really enjoy helping or telling stories.

The museum recently added a new hanger and moved some planes around. There is a lot of interesting history to read up on and awesome aircraft to look at. The staff on site is very polite, helpful and knows a lot about the history within the museum. Definitely worth the trip even if you stay in the SLC or Park City areas. The admission to the museum is free but all donations are very helpful!

It's great. The biggies are here. B-29, B-17, B-52, F-22, P-51, MIG-21, P-38 and the list goes on. Easily walkable. The expansion is complete and the new hangar is open. Only a few large planes remain outside. Free admission but well worth a donation.

Very cool museum with a lot to see and read. Wish we would have had more time here! If you’re a fan of planes and aerospace craft, and even if you’re not! It’s free but donations are welcome! Great place for anyone! Awesome place to take kids to!

Completely free and quite an expansive museum! There is a lot of planes here, all the way from WWII planes, to the Cold War era, to just a few modern era planes, the most modern being the F-22. Is a must visit for any aviation lovers. Would return, if visiting the area again to spend more time reading about and admiring each plane.

This place is fantastic. Kids love. A perfect experience for family. I strong recommend for everyone. For any age. 11 of the World’s Most Famous WarplanesWritten byJohn P. RaffertyJohn P.

During the 20th and 21st centuries, aircraft came to play increasingly important roles in determining the outcome of battles as well as being deterrents to aggression. Military aircraft came of age during World War II, and their utility for both military and nonmilitary purposes expanded during the Cold War era and beyond. A list of some of these great planes is given below.

Best Military Aviation museum I have visited In US. Its collection was well thought out and comprehensive of obvious military aircraft from important eras in Aviation history. As well as including a significant number of often forgotten important aircraft such cargo and reconnaissance planes which are often not on display or recognised properly in other museums.

This museum is huge! There are displays outside around the grounds as well as inside the building. This makes it easy to go year round. There are a few different galleries, but the current construction closed down one area. We'll definitely have to go back to see their new displays as well as what we missed this time around.

If your and military enthusiast or aircraft buff, come visit and learn about the story behind this base, and the air craft on display here. Amazing collection of WW2 / Cold War / Modern aircraft. It now includes a Minuteman missile systems display.

Hill Aerospace Museum was an excellent experience! If you love history, airplanes, the military, this is the place to go. This museum is massive, meticulous, and awe inspiring. A lot of time, thought, effort and care clearly went into this museum. All the displays are very respectful and informative. I highly recommend visiting this museum.

Very informative! Great variety of aircraft. The volunteers were so kind and willing to help give out a plethora of knowledge! Great way to spend the afternoon.

Excellent well maintained museum. Knowledgeable and friendly volunteers.. very cool collection.. they are very proud and genuinely care about the exhibits and it shows.. Great visit for me and my family

This museum has an excellent selection of stunning military aircraft. From the early days of flight, to modern service jets, there's something for you to love. Most planes have an exhibit that goes over details of the aircraft and it's history. There is plenty of parking, though it was fairly packed when I visited.

Took our 3 yo and 1 yo. We showed up at 9 and we only had a handful of families with us but when we left at 11 they had people parking down the street and a line to get in. But it is such a big place that once you got past the check in it didn’t feel packed. It was super well done and the bathrooms were super clean. They even had stools for the kids which I greatly appreciate. They don’t allow water or food which is hard with toddlers but they did have water fountains.

This place is so cool! I love that it’s free. My kids love going and looking at the big planes and learning all about plane history. You can also look inside one of them. Such a great visit!

We brought our 3, 4, and 6 year olds here and they had a blast. The car museum area is neat and my kids loved seeing how "really old people drove." We really appreciated the kid friendly activities they had throughout the station and the fact that the whole place is free!

Fun place to visit to learn about the history of locomotives 🚂 in Ogden. There is a train exhibit outside that is supper cool- lately the museum has provided entrance to 2 train cars (the military hospital transit and USPS mail carrier). It’s neat to see how life was no too long ago. Great place for kids to explore, and awesome for family photos, particularly during sunset.

I love this venue! Absolutely perfect for every event but they went above and beyond to help us pull off a very magical company party, owls and all!

Great place to visit and learn! The Union Station is where the trains would come and deal with freight or passengers. The building is actually the third Station built on that spot. First one burned down about 1922, a second was buil, and a third replaced #2.They have four separate museums here. John M. Browning, Utah Railroads, older cars, and 2 art galleries.The RR museum recognized the importance of two minorities- Chinese workers in building the Union Pacific side of the Transcontinental Railroad and the African Americans who were the food service employees on the Pullman cars.John Browning was a very important firearms inventor. Several of his designs are still quite popular in the current times.

I've always loved this building, and that hasn't changed with the years that have gone by since I've last been in the doors. (Almost 30 years). It's a little rougher around the edges, but thankfully Ogden city arts department is moving in and will most definitely provide the care this place deserves. It's rich with history, and beautiful to boot. Anyone in the Ogden area is missing out if they don't stop by

Such a cool museum! It is an old.trsi. station that now houses 3 collection museums. The train museum is the largest and super informative and interesting. The Browning gun section is also extensive. The Browning family has a large and beautiful collection of early model cars. Volunteers were so helpful and friendly.

They really do a good job of keeping this place in great shape. It is a pleasure to visit here. Only one thing. You can't see the inside of the trains until warm weather, or May, they say, so be advised. You can see a lot of history in three museums, The Railway museum, The Browning Arms Museum, and the Classic Cars. All for 7 dollars while supporting a great effort to preserve these fantastic historical items.

This is a fun place to come for a one-time thing. It's super cool to come and look at and you can see many different displays. I don't suggest coming on free days because hundreds of people are there so you can't even see the displays.

Great museum sharing the importance of railroading history in northern Utah. The indoor exhibits had great interpretive information, as well as displays of early twentieth century automobiles and historic firearms. There was also a farmers market going on with all sorts of fun goodies. The locomotives just outside were impressive! Would recommend this museum for a family outing.

Train show was decent this year. Would have liked a few more child friendly activities. We braved the snow to be there and we were done in a hour. There was really only one thing they enjoyed. I understand limited space. But it want as good as other years we've attended.

Great place to see. If you like history this place has more than just trains. It is a glimpse into the town and the area surrounding it. The railroad was a big part of building this area for sure.

Really very interesting. Some good displays lots of awesome information and a good few hours spent looking around the trains.

This place is a hidden gem especially for anyone interested in getting up close to real trains. The museum showcases the stations history and a vintage car museum as well. The annual model train show is a fun to visit as well. They fill up the entire station with various train models.

I love the museum. I go as kid I loved it. I go as teen I love it. I go as young adult I loved it 10/10. Went on a bad date here a few years ago at least this was still good. Museum was still good today and every day. I go here with my friend Alex when I had a tummy ache still good time other than tummy ache. I wish there were more model train. Sometimes I wish I could live in a model train village it seems so peaceful. I like the mountain model train here. Please make more model train scene for young adults like me and the old me who love this. I hope when I am old I have a nice wife and a nice child to bring here and show around. Thank you train place

It was very reasonably priced. It is a nice little snapshot of history with some really cool thjng s to watch and observe. The massive locomotives are really cool. The building is also very cool and this is a great location to take wedding photos. The train history is very interesting. It’s very quiet and your kids will love it.

Such a great time here.. lots of trains all carefully maintained.. tons for the kids to do.. very impressive

Several GREAT museums in a single location! I visited for the Railroad museum, but enjoyed the others as well. They have several very special Locomotives, my favorites being the DDA40X (2 Desiel engines on 1 frame) & the X26 Steam Turbine Locomotive. Both experimental, from the 1950's & 60's & UP was the only Railroad to run either.

Great place to visit. Highly recommend. It’s cool to see the old station and trains. Admission also includes entry into an old classic car and gun section. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

This a cool, historic place to see even if you don't pay for any of the museums

Very cool museums and history. It is very accessible and allows for strollers and wheelchairs. A good family activity.

So much great railroad history and the biggest part of it was right here in Ogden. My little 5 year old grandson absolutely loved every part of it. All of the huge trains and even the educational displays. My daughter is a fan of old cars so the antique car museum was very enjoyable for her. There's so much to see at this fairly large museum that it would probably be best when visiting to bring lots of energy.

We had a great time here. Price is low. Lots of things to look at. There is a great area for kids to touch and move levers. Play with train stuff. There are 5 museums in one place here. Art, Gun, trains, great place

There is a super cute museum inside, we paid 7 dollars per person, when you visit Ogden you shouldn’t miss this museum. I liked cowboy and train section very much.

We came out here for night snowboarding because Brighton closed down due to the dangerous weather, and we're glad we did. Not only was Powder Mountain cheaper, but it wasn't very crowded - so we got a ton of great powder runs in.At night time they only open one lift and a few trails, but they are well lit and quite a lot of fun to shred on.The facilities are in great shape and we had no issues with parking, lift tickets, food, or restrooms during our stay.

Prefer over Park City every time! We live in Florida so only ski 1-2x a year and loved Powder Mountain. First, rentals were great and so easy to get. No line and great service. Staff everywhere was smiling and chatting with us at each left, super friendly and professional. The views and trails were gorgeous, well groomed and they limit how many tickets were sold so we skied ALONE many times down various green and blue trails. Eden has a few decent restaurants but also worth the 25 minute drive to Ogden for 25th street filled with restaurants and bars.

BEST SKI RESORT IN UTAH!!An absolutely incredible resort with some of the best terrain I’ve ever boarded. I had the best powder day I’ve ever had. I was boarding untouched powder the whole day. Due to powder mountains higher elevation they have some of the best snow in Utah. I love how they limit ticket sales so it never gets too crowded. We walked onto almost every lift on a sold out day! I’ve been to almost every resort in Utah and Powder mountain might take the cake as my favorite!

Shout out to the Timberline Lodge and the maintenance crew for providing c l a a a a a s s y as f*rk renovations to the facilities here, and to Chef James Hamilton for breathing life into the menu at Powder Keg and the cafeteria.Very excited to see what Hidden Lake has to offer when it opens.As a (very) biased employee of the commissary kitchen for PowMow, this review is however not a matter of opinion, it's just a fact.Chowder FountainR I I I I I I P S 🤙🏼

Powder mountain is always a great place to visit.Especially when the city is full of smog!It has some breath taking views!There ski school was awesome!

I'm not sure how to give my ultimate review. This place rocks! I never heard of Powder Mountain, but damn!; I have too many good things to say about this resort; their people and our experience. The ski resort is big. We couldn't do it all (maybe 30%) in 2 days. Great trails; very long; incredible views; quick lines (on a weekend); we may be from the East coast, but we've done over a dozen big name resorts and this BY FAR was the best. Most impressive was the staff. As soon as we got there everyone was there to help. Tons of positives to say here, but to suffice it to say I wish all of my staff was as attentive, helpful, thorough, not on their phones and friendly. 5 stars to Powder Mountain! I could go on, and on. At the end of day 1, we met the guy who books music at the Timberline lodge. Wow! Mind-blowing better than expected, crowd tipping $20s, Music was awesome; Friggin' Amazing!, etc. Skiers like to enjoy a great day and that scene at the lodge was just off the rails in a great way! Cutting it short; this mountain has great skiing, great employees and has a great atmosphere. We're already planning next year's visit. Join us!

Powder Mountain has something for everyone, blue cruisers, trees and challenging blacks. I went on a Saturday and didn’t wait for more than 3 minutes at most to get on a lift.

Spent the day with some friends on an all day snow cat skiing adventure yesterday. Our two guides, JT and Becky, were amazing! Had a safety brief in the morning then we were off for a full day of untracked snow, amazing views, and fresh powder. Halfway through the day we had a picnic lunch at a “snow table“ that the guides built for us to eat around. I have done multiple trips like this and this was by far the best one so far will definitely go back and do it again highly highly highly recommend!

This is a fantastic local ski resort if you’re looking for an affordable, beginner-friendly, non-corporate, local feel resort. We came and here and took the first time snowboard school and wow! I have to say we were blown away by the instructor that we had. My wife is terrified of slopes and kept falling repeatedly on the top of the green run and was close to giving up. Our instructor Doug, patiently worked 1x1 with her and all of a sudden, it clicked and she successfully went down the mountain with no issues. She was hype after that and I have to give my sincere thanks to Doug for his steadfast commitment to teaching and working with her. Thank you!

We had an amazing trip in 2023 and are going back March 2024. No waiting in lines and nice off trail runs. Highly recommend

Five stars for the ski area, minus 2 for the pricing and access changes. Powder Mountain describes itself as huge, and it is definitely massive. We visited for two days and barely felt like we saw the place (visibility was also low, so that didn't help), but got in a ton of good runs. Some areas have really deep snow while you can also go on a lot more lightly covered trail runs. Lifts are all pretty slow, but limited lift lines made it not a huge issue (though Hidden Lake lift in sleet is pretty miserable). Had a great time, but unfortunately, we won't be able to visit again. A bunch of reviews mention this already but prices doubled to around $229+ for a lift ticket. This is absolutely absurd for the amenities: a few slow lifts, limited parking, and lodges from the 80s or older. They will also stop accepting Indy Pass next season and are closing part of the mountain to take it private for a luxury housing community. Powder Mountain has decided to close its doors to all but the rich, so while we really enjoyed the snow, we will have to look elsewhere for future ski trips.

We have been coming here for 15+ years and we love, love, love this mountain.But what happened with lift tickets pricing this year is absolutely horrible! Reed Hastings bought the mountain and is trying to price us regular people out. I just looked at Friday 2/9/2024 - $229 before taxes. For one day! We can drive 15 min to Snowbasin and ski for $40 less. Snowbird and Alta for comparison also $40 less.And next year they are revoking decades long tradition of free skiing for seniors 75+. Have they no shame?!They call it dynamic pricing, but it’s not. Dynamic pricing matches pricing to demand. Here it’s just the opposite: they try to make up the revenue they are missing due to lack of demand, by pricing tickets even higher. To prove my point, here is empty popular lift (Mary’s) on a powder day. That would have never been the case in previous years.🤯

Went night skiing on 12/29 and it was a great experience. I love that they cap the amount of tickets sold to keep from over-crowding. They had a "magic carpet" lift that my toddler loved, and the runs were varied enough that I enjoyed my time, and my 3 year-old could learn to ski.I also had a great experience with staff. I lost my diaper bag and I had it back in my possession the next afternoon. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and helpful. Thank you again!

Had a fantastic private lesson as a first time skier with Paul! Worth every penny for the full day session (930-330). I had tried skiing once back in 2011 and it ended after 90mins with me being skied down the bunny slope in tears by one of my friends. That was a scarring enough experience to keep me off the mountain for over a DECADE!I came into my private lesson, which I shared with a friend, with zero hopes/expectation. When my friend mentioned that I'd be going down the actual lift by lunch time, I was highly skeptical, but Paul was so helpful and patient and had both of us on the lift just after lunch, much to my surprise/delight! He explained and demonstrated proper body positioning, angles, movements etc and was just so encouraging! I fell a lot, of course, but by the end of our lesson, I actually was trying a couple of blue routes with him.Powder itself is a really cool spot, a little farther out and was less crowded than Alta which we went to the following day (could be because it was midweek-Thursday- though). It's definitely got a grungy/purist vibe to it, but still a welcoming/inviting atmosphere, and coming from a complete novice, it's a great spot to get started!

Amazing place to ski and snowboard. Not packed at all. Many runs and the snow is great. We keep coming every winter ❄️

This place used to be magical... until it went corporate. It was great while it lasted. Goodbye Pow Mow?P.S. The free for military days are greatly appreciated, thanks for keeping that tradition alive!

My family and I have been going to this mountain for 10 years. It’s always been a great experience besides tonight. I have never had a lifty give me and my family so much attitude. As we are sitting in line my son (21yrs) took his vape out and hit it in line before getting on the lift. Without warning or anything the lifty starts yelling at my son with so much disrespect. I don’t think me and my family will ever return to this mountain. I have nothing with the mountain and the other employees but the level of disrespect this young man displayed will never be okay. Personally I wouldn’t want someone with anger issues like what I saw should be working at a resort, where family and friends go to have a good time.

Wow!! What a gem!!!! Have been coming to Park City area for years and had never made the trek to Powder Mountain- or Pow Mow as the locals call it. It’s a decidedly different experience than the other area hills. Think skiing 20 years ago. Fewer people, they only sell 1500 lift tickets per day. The terrain is great. On one of the busiest days of the year we saw virtually no one. We utilized the free tour guide at 10 am and we’re lucky to have Judi from NH. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and adapting to our group. I am reluctant to share this review because I reluctantly want to keep this special place a secret!! Consider the $25 cat ride to the untouched terrain!!

Definitely worth the visit if you’re into wildlife refuges or birding. Went on a July day, and while not the best time of year, there were still a lot of birds to see, including some white pelicans. The roads are dirt but seemingly well maintained and hard packed so any passenger car would be fine. The official visitor center has hours different from the refuge.

Great place to see Bald Eagles and Herons. The trip from Salt Lake City is a little long, but with coffee and good company you are there it seems in no time.If you go during the winter months, beware! The road around the refuge us a mix of CLAY, GRAVEL, DIRT AND SAND. Your car/SUV will get extremely dirty. Do not wait days to wash it. It won't cone of once it's solid. Use a high powered sprayer to get into every nook and cranny of your cars underside, especially the wheelhousing. I waited a week and it took 2 hours and 30 dollars to get my Tahoe looking new again.

Awesome place. The visitors center was open and we enjoyed all the displays and information. The kids had a great time doing the Jr Ranger Activity Book along the trail. That kept them busy for at least an hour. Nice paved trail with benches along the way. There was no shade so I would recommend a hat and glasses. We didn’t have time to drive around the rest of the refuge.

Had a beautiful morning photographing bird are the refuge! The walking trails by the nature center were okay. The best sightings are out on the auto tour trail

Incredible!! This place blew my mind d. It was like a bird safari. I saw 22 different species during the auto tour!The visitors center is very nice. There are a few different y walks from there, but we didn’t see any thing until we drove to the actual refuge.We missed the swans but saw so much. I want to go back a different time of year and see what else we can find.

Excellent place, huge collection of birds , all viewable from a driving tour. Recon on 2-3 hours to drive the full circuit.

We went on Annual Swan Day a few weekends ago. Sadly, still too cold here to see the swans. (They say they were easily seen down at Farmington Bay.)Plenty of activities for the kids, a nice gift/book shop, even featuring local photographers work.They have a nice exhibit hall to help you learn more about the area.Kids earned the FREE Junior Ranger pin. They provide you with a booklet, pencil and light green backpack full of gear to adventure with as you complete activities in the booklet.Recent snowmelt made it hard to do much of the paved trail as some family members didn't have proper shoes.I'd love to come back in May when things have warmed and greened up a bit more.

The trails wind through dry and marshy areas so you get to see a variety of wildlife. Bullfrogs, voles, garter snakes, and so many wonderful birds: herons, ibis, cormorant, yellow headed blackbirds, brown headed cowbirds, warblers, sparrows, swallows… Plus the museum is really cool and they offer a backpack full of supplies (magnifying glasses, guides, binoculars, etc) that are so fun for the kids. The play area has the coolest marimbas. My kids love it.

South end is open for hunting access through Perry. There is a launch made of concrete. Parking for 8 trucks with trailers. No restrooms at the area so go before you come out. If you use the launch be careful as you pass others in the canal. Clean up after your self and be prepared to be checked by federal fish and game at this location when coming back in.The hunting proclamation is pasted and pamphlets are available on like r at the launch. Please follow all rules and guidelines as you enter the wetlands.

This place is absolutely paradise for any bird watching enthusiasts. The drive through offered stunning views with something to see around each bend. SPRING = BABIES! Lots of babies. Loved this experience.

The visitors center is a pleasant surprise full of beautiful interactive displays. You’ll learn a lot about the Great Salt Lake and the refuge and the role each plays in the ecosystem. Wish it was opened till 5pm or 6pm. It’s hard to get there before it closes.

Great place to see various bird species! Oh and occasionally river otters.

We have really enjoyed the auto tour. We just putt through and take the cameras and see what wildlife we can see. Who knows, after repeated trips I see the appeal of bird watching!

My wife and I travel there often. It never disappoints. Today, for instance, we made the 1.5 hour drive to see some reported bald eagles. We made the loop, stopping frequently and driving an average speed of 7 mph. We didn't see any bald eagles. We did see harrier after harrier, many of which were gray ghosts. So much beauty in every direction.

This place is incredible! The views are spectacular with the mountains in the back ground. My wildlife list includes: white-faced ibis, avocet, curlew, pelican, tern, long-tailed weasel, beaver, snowy egret, red-tailed hawk, harrier, stilt, grebe, geese, ducks, blackbirds and more.

Update February 2023: Interesting and educational James V. Hansen Wildlife Education Center. Unfortunately, we didn't see any bald eagles while driving the loop although others have spotted a few.Previous year: Binoculars are essential. On the way to the loop you may see a bald eagle on a post so look around as you drive there. We saw two single ones, two groups of two, one group of five that would have made a great photo, many farther away.

Well worth a stop if you're a fan of wetlands like we are! The interpretative center is gorgeous and the staff is really knowledgeable and passionate

Sometimes we cannot appreciate the simple things in nature. If you really want to be in touch with nature and experience some of the wild, you don't need to go to the jungle. In this place, you will enjoy spectacular sunsets, the singing of birds, the sudden fright of many that take flight, the bites of wild sandpipers, days full of fog in winter, the nostalgia of a lake that threatens to disappear. and a river that gives life to the mangroves that provide food and life to thousands of birds and aquatic species. I recommend it 200%. A paradicical wildlife place that we have included in our photographic project, from Ana's CameraWork.

Me and my family LOVE the Bird Refuge! All year round there are different things to see! There are times where you don't get to see much wildlife. But the scenery is beautiful to drive through still to some! Bring a camera if you are interested in photography of birds at all! Probably a lense that zooms pretty far too if your extremely serious about taking pictures! Not exactly completely kid friendly as it is basically a drive through and observe the animals you may see! Dirt roads so in the wetter/colder seasons its a bumpy holey journey! I think it's great still though! :)

Beautiful scenery and wildlife. So peaceful and amazing, to go on the auto tour. We had so much fun and no trouble seeing a variety of birds, dragonflies, butterflies and fish.

Why have I not been here before? Sublime sunsets. I'll have to come back for a sunrise...Naturalist staff at the welcome center are very helpful and willing to share pertinent information.

We love this bird refuge! Beautiful indoor facility and the paths are wonderful. If you check in at the front desk they will give your an explorer pack for kids to enjoy.

Super awesome hike, about 2 miles each direction and is pretty steep on the way up. Beautiful views along the entire hike and especially at the end when you reach the cave. We went at about 9 am and got done around 10:45 because we spent a lot of time up top. Beautiful view and beautiful weather today, make sure you bring some water!

It's a bit of a hike on switch backs. Which is fine but the trail is rather thin and there's traffic going both directions. With the downhill side being rather steep. They should invest some resources to widen the trail at least a couple of feet. They have some parking at the base but not near enough for the amount of people that visit at a time. A water source will be needed especially if you have a dog. There is a spring towards the beginning of the trail. Though I'm unsure of its purity.

Excellent hike in the east mountains not fair from Logan. The hike is decent and contains excellent views throughout the journey with the caves at the end worth the hike

This hike is awesome. I have gone during multiple seasons and every time it has been good. It is very peaceful and not busy at all. It's right off the highway and easy to pull into.

Beautiful hike! Took us 3 hrs but we made plenty of stops along the way. The cave is pretty cool.

I'm new to hiking and I would recommend this trail for beginner I think. I did fell down coming down (embarass). Other than that advise trail can be muddy/slushy due to snow and rain. But hey FTW I did enjoy it.

Gorgeous hike and the destination is worth the elevation gain. If traveling with young kids the plan for lots of breaks and try to go in the morning before the hot afternoon sun. Bring a lot of water and keep an eye out for snakes. We saw a fairly large one on the trail

This was a great place for the first hike of the year. Narrow at some points but we certainly had an awesome time hiking up the trail.

This is a well-tracked trail that ends with inspiring vistas viewed from naturally-formed limestone arches. Prepare to be challenged by the incline (you will climb over 1000ft from the trailhead), particularly if you are not accustomed to hiking in higher altitudes. We visited in late May and the temperature was around 50 degrees. T-shirts are fine on the way up while you're working up a sweat but you'll need a sweater for the return leg.

Great hike! Wow! I took my nephews who ranged in age from 9 to 16 and they did great. Bring plenty of water (summer time) and snacks to keep the younger ones energized. The first 1/4 was easy, the middle half was a little steep at points with switchbacks all the way up but the last 1/4 was easy. Amazing views of the canyon, very very pretty! I loved this hike and will be doing it again on our next visit. Be careful with kids at the cave though. There's a drop off on the east side that I would caution parents on.

It was pretty busy and the incline is fairly steep. I took a 4 & 3 year old not expecting to get to the top but at least during the first half there were several spots to stop and rest. One had a small creek waterfall down the side that they really enjoyed.

Great family hike! Moderate exertion. About 4 miles round trip. Note use restrooms somewhere in Logan before the hike as there are no facilities near parking or anywhere along the trail. Bring plenty of water.

This hike is very nice, the trail was challenging at some points, and cave at the top have a great view of the valley. Got there around 7:30 am and there was plenty of parking. However, on the way down, we encountered a fairly steady stream of folks around 9am and parking was filling up. Enjoy!

This was my 4th time up, June 17th. Temps in the high 70s perfect weather light wind. Takes about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours based on your hiking skills. I am 56 and it took about 1 hour but we went slow with our dog. One of the most magical spot around for sure. Trail is rough so really should have good hiking footwear.

A pretty steep hike in certain parts but shouldn’t take more than 2 hours roundtrip. The elevation gain can be a lot, so make sure to take stops to breathe and bring water! Way easy on the way back. Beautiful caves!

Beautiful caves! The hike was more on the difficult side with lots of people on the trail. Could be a little dangerous for kids, just use caution. There were lots of drop off points, especially at the cave.

Beautiful hike up to the wind caves. It was fairly moderate terrain as it was quite a steep climb most of the way. Little to know shade during the day time, but the views are definitely worth the trek!

Wonderful, wonderful hike!!!Not easy, but totally do-able for anyone! Inclines and switch backs, but with time & water you'll do just fine. Super cool views up top. The cave goes under the look out, and around the side. Worth all the exploring! AllTrails has wonderful tracking if needed, but trail is worn in wonderfully.

I would strongly recommend against going here. Utah is a place full of bigots, conservatives , and Mormons. If you don’t fit that mold, you will be excluded. and receive hate and judgment.

Would rate zero stars if I could. Utah State University forces psychology students to torment vulnerable rats. Whoever keeps upholding this archaic standard needs their own shrink.

I'm just about to graduate with a Master's Degree and have loved my entire experience here. Awesome new buildings, cool old buildings, great professors, and great students who make for great campus life. And you can't leave out the superb outdoor recreation available all around. The PE classes are a blast! To anybody coming to USU I highly suggest taking up rock climbing, mountain biking, trail running, and skiing/snowboarding. There's even a new ski resort opening up that is only 19 minutes away. They just opened up the ARC (Aggie Recreation Center) and my wife and I love the rock climbing and everything else that is available in there. Complete party, great place to learn to become a learner, fun professors, useful clubs and student organizations, all around great place to get your degree or degrees.

I liked utah state university and the food and the teachers but I was not happy to not get respect and help when I was bored and I have had not that good with aggie elevated program no respect

Going to school here is great! There is tons to do really close to campus. The town is small, but very diverse classes are not too big when getting into your major. Online program is wonderful!

My girlfriends going to college here, I’m excited for her and it seems like a great school so yea yeehaw!!!

I have been placed here twice one after my mission then I went to ISU for my associates degree, and after for finishing up my Bachelor's.

Displeased USU VisitorMy recent experience with USU (assuming you are referring to a university or institution with that acronym) left me feeling incredibly frustrated and dissatisfied. One of the most significant issues that marred my experience was the rampant over-ticketing problem.Over-ticketing at USU has become a serious concern, and it has undoubtedly soured my perception of the institution. It seems as though the primary focus has shifted away from providing a conducive learning environment and towards extracting revenue from its students and visitors through excessive ticketing.The frequency with which I witnessed students and visitors receiving unwarranted tickets was alarming. Whether it was for minor parking infractions, perceived rule violations, or even issues that should have been handled through communication and warnings, it appeared that the institution was more interested in punishing individuals than in fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere.Furthermore, the fines associated with these tickets often felt disproportionately high, placing an undue financial burden on students and visitors who are already struggling with the cost of education and daily living expenses. It's disheartening to see an institution prioritize revenue generation over the well-being and financial stability of its constituents.The over-ticketing issue not only creates a hostile atmosphere but also undermines the trust and respect that students and visitors should have for their educational institution. It fosters an environment where individuals are constantly on edge, fearing that even the slightest misstep will result in another unwarranted ticket.In conclusion, my experience with USU has been marred by the issue of over-ticketing, which has led me to question the institution's priorities and commitment to the well-being of its students and visitors. It is my hope that USU will reevaluate its approach to disciplinary measures and consider more reasonable and fair ways to address rule violations without resorting to excessive ticketing.

USU still requires psychology students to torment rats in behavioral experiments even when there are animal-free methods they could use instead. It's 2024, USU! Leave rats alone!

Completely upset by the cost of online and zoomed in classes. Why do students live on campus, go to class in a classroom on campus where the teacher is zoomed in. The lack of support for the students to learn in a classroom setting is disappointing. Do you really want future doctors to be online students?

This university has a beatiful campus. I recently completed my first year here and it is great for anyone look for a great college campus experience while also having great academic opportunities.

Visited the music department to check it out for daughter for college after she graduates. It was a nice visit.

A Pow Wow was hosted here on Saturday. It was nice.

I love USU! So many amazing professors and people! They really care about students’ success and making sure that they have housing. I couldn’t have found this much happiness and knowledge anywhere else!

It’s always such a treat taking a stroll through this gorgeous campus! They even have a large American persimmon tree; it’s located on the west side by the visitor information center!

They have some of the best icreem as well as some of the best food. The proferos care about the students.

Love this university. Visiting from Salt Lake. We are Utah fans. Had a great time at the game! Good clean fun! Great, great fans!! Great team, the Aggies! Thank you, Jake Peterson and family, for good food and fun!!
