Sundance Resort

Owned by Robert Redford and known for its film festival, Sundance is uncrowded and offers top-notch skiing and atmosphere.

Reviewed By greenjay1 - Williams, Arizona

There's a lot going on at Sundance in the summer. Concerts, mountain biking, hiking, zip line and scenic chair lift. We really enjoyed the chair lift ($15/person). Parking is free. All the staff in the shops and adventures were super polite and friendly. Waitress in the Foundry restaurant, not so much. Nice way to spend an afternoon or couple days.

Timpanogos Cave National Monument

One of the sites in Utah for cave exploring.

Reviewed By Michael M - Corrales, New Mexico

Even though the path is paved, the hike up to the cave is challenging. Excited by opportunity to tour the three caves. Unfortunately, our tour guide was short on facts, history and anecdotes even though she said she had been giving cave tours since a teenager. Her knowledge of geology was very generalized. It was a bit of a disappointment to hike all that way only to have a mediocre tour guide. Hopefully, those of you who are reading this review will have better luck. Overall, Timpanogos Cave is worth the visit.

Thanksgiving Point

Thanksgiving Point offers an array of different activities including 55-acre gardens, Museum of Ancient Life, Mammoth Screen 3D theater, Water Tower Plaza, Harvest Restaurant, the Emporium, Farm Country and a 18-hole golf course.

Reviewed By Brooke M - Rexburg, Idaho, USA

We got the explorer pass which allows you to visit The museum of natural history, farm country, the museum of natural curiosity, and the gardens. In one day's time, we were only able to get to three of the four. We left for dinner and then went back. We probably could have gotten to everything if we ate on the premises. Our kids' age range from 13 to 4. Everyone had so much fun! Another review said it wasn't worth a drive, but I disagree. We drove down from Idaho and made a weekend out of it! Totally worth it. We all want to go back at some future point.

Hale Center Theater Orem

Reviewed By Ron B - Orem, Utah

Yes it is home grown. Yes it is a small theatre in the round. And YES it is better than Broadway! Yup, been to great theaters in NY, Houston, Portland, San Francisco, Austin, Moscow, Dar es Salaam, Salt Lake and Provo so as an ordinary guy I️ feel I know what I’m talking about when I️ say the Orem Hale is truly the best. We saw Hello Dolly. Best stage performance of this classic that we have seen. Amazing skills, voices, and choreography. You want the best in theatre, it’s right here in Orem.

Lindon Aquatics Center

Reviewed By freewaymaster - utah, usa

This place mostly for little kids. Some teen areas like the Lazy river or Flow rider. Too pricy though. We paid $267 for a Family season pass and they did not change the Operation hours sign. Only open until 6pm most days. Terrible Deal! We will NEVER have another pass again! Good place to go if you are bored.

This canyon is beautiful year round, but the fall is amazing. Late September and early October is our favorite time to make the drive, and to stop at multiple places to see the sights.

Battle Creek Falls

Reviewed By V4044AXstephaniel

We love to hike the falls throughout the year. It's a good hike with some level parts and hills, but not too strenuous. The kids love to splash in the creek but the water is cold.
We've also repelled off the face of the cliff the waterfall falls over. It was awesome!

Coconut Cove

Reviewed By Rodney J

I had a surprise 70th birthday party at Coconut Cove. It was wonderful. While we adults talked, the grandchildren had an unforgettable experience playing on the abundant indoor playground equipment. My grandchildren loved it.
At every party the question arises, "How are you going to keep the children entertained?" Well Coconut Cove solves the problem for you. My grandchildren still talked about how much fun they had at my birthday party. I plan on having my next birthday party there also.

Brigham Young University

Reviewed By MickeysBestPal

We had a family gathering here and among our group was my mother who has difficulty walking. She has a handicap parking permit. We came on a Saturday afternoon and we could not find a single handicap parking spot that was available anywhere. All the visitor parking lots were full. I dropped my mother off as close to the campus as we could get and then I parked far away and hiked back.
BYU is enormous. It is a beautiful campus in a great location – surrounded by mountains. But they need more handicap accessible parking options.

Alpine Trail Rides

Reviewed By Angie H - Salt Lake City, Utah

TWO THUMBS UP! This was the best horseback riding experience I've ever had. Dave McConnell was very attentive to the beginners in our group and also provided a little extra fun for those of us who were more experienced. I highly recommend Alpine Trail Rides to tourists visiting Utah or to those who have lived here for years and need a little reminder of the beauty that surrounds us. Thanks again for an amazing adventure, Dave! We'll be back soon!
