Adams Canyon Trail

Reviewed By lovelaughsew

In the beginning you have .6miles of switchbacks then you have a nice dirt trail, it's mostly shaded after the switchbacks, there will be some bouldering in areas and also gravel rocky areas, it's more of a moderate/hard Hike but just take your time and enjoy the scenery. The waterfall at the top is beautiful anytime of the year. There is a dirt parking lot and also plenty of parking on the street, dogs are allowed. It's roughly 4 miles RT.

Station Park

Well designed to fit all ages. Shopping is varied, food is balanced for selection, and it has a nice vibe. Relax and people watch, or enjoy outdoor dining in the summer. The big thing, always feels safe to walk anywhere in Station Park.

This museum has a relatively large collection of military aircraft that spans most of the history of the U.S. Airforce. There is an outdoor and two indoor collections, and all are well-maintained, with well-designed displays and placards giving the history and information about each aircraft displayed. Admission is free, which is pretty remarkable,and kids really enjoy being able to get up close and personal with the aircraft. The only down side is that there are no planes in which you can tour or see the inside. The museum also provides some great stories, with its "Utah Aviation Hall of Fame" exhibit, and the USAF in Vietnam exhibit, which includes a section on prisoners of war and USAF (Vietnam) Medal of Honor recipients. If you have any interest at all in military aviation - or think you might possibly have an interest - this museum is well worth the visit.

Davis Park Golf Course

Reviewed By Bigredmachine

Davis Park golf course is known locally as being one of the busiest courses in the state and on Wednesdays, Men's association days, the course will be filled from morning to evening. If you do get a tee time during their busy hours, expect SLOW play. Most golfer here are courteous and do keep up, but with the number of golfers the pro-shop sends out, there is usually nowhere to go. The course is not particularly long or difficult and is always very well groomed. Recent stormed blew over hundreds of trees, which has actually improved the course and increased the speed of play here. Pro-shop staff is always friendly and will do their best to get you on (of course, this is what leads to the slow play). Overall, nice course, just be very patient if you play here.

Antelope Island State Park

A beautiful park located on the largest of the Great Salt Lakes islands; features lots of white-sand beaches, hiking and biking trails in addition to a variety of flora and fauna, including deer, bob cats, and of course, antelopes.

Reviewed By dalgal2u - Albany, New York

There’s something for any nature lover at Antelope Island. Simply driving around and admiring the views is enough. Buffalo Point was one of the most breathtaking views ever. Watching the wild animals roaming this minimally impacted area was heart warming. There’s a beach to easily access the Great Salt Lake. Swing by the Buffalo Island Grill for casual eats. Try the the buffalo burger for sure! If your up for hiking, there are beautiful trails of various difficulties and views. The campsites are all easily accessible with amazing views as well. I can’t wait to go back to the ranch and try some horseback riding!

We have an annual pass and this is great for a few reasons.
1 - You don't have to go during discount days or weekends when it is more crowded.
2 - You get friends in at 50% off.
3 - You don't have to stay all day to feel like you got your monies worth. Just go for an hour every month or two (or more).

They seem to change things up every few months.

It can be hard to find people to spend tokens for food on certain days. They did add a dispenser by the Manta Rays (but it needs a sign Tokens Only because people keep putting quarters in it.)

Discounts for members of America First Credit Union and USAA

Not a huge impressive over the top aquarium, but if the kids love it, then so do we. They slowly are improving aesthetics.

My ten year old tells me he wants to work here every time we go!!

Cherry Hill Water Park

Reviewed By Ioana C - Bountiful, Utah

The park is quite small compared to other water parks, but is very well maintained, with clean bathrooms (I was VERY impressed by this as most water park restrooms are nasty). There are grassy areas all over the park with plenty of chairs for everyone. Also, parking is free and so are the tubes for the lazy river and water slides. You can bring your own food in the park, which is pretty nice. This was our first time visiting as a family and definitely not the last one. We had a great experience.

Lagoon is one of the only family owned amusement parks left in the country. With over 60 thrilling rides, 40 challenging games, live entertainment, a beautiful water park, the largest "kiddie land" of any amusement park in the nation, Pioneer Village, and the Campground, Lagoon offers something for everyone to enjoy.

Reviewed By Motivator535 - Kaysville, Utah

We enjoyed the old rides including the wooden roller coaster, swings, and merrigoround. The new rides, Pioneer village, and the Lagoon A Beach are a must as well.

Come early, but be prepared for pricy parking and expensive food. Plan on all day to venture, and try to take advantage of Bounce back specials.

Tons to do but don't forget the train ride to their little Zoo.

Great Room Escape

The Great Room Escape is a fully interactive and immersive experience unlike anything you have ever done before. No longer do you sit back and watch the show, now you are 100% part of it. Up to 12 participants will enter a room, the question is whether they will make it out in the hour. Clues and riddles hidden throughout the room provide the tools to meet your objective.

Reviewed By bigdogmom2017 - Syracuse, Utah

we took a group of 8 friends and had a blast. clues were medium difficulty, the excitement when you solve each clue is high. the only thing I did
not like was our second visit the zombie could kill you everywhere. you could not escape. it's hard to look for clues when you are to busy trying to not get killed. our first visit the zombies chain only came out so far so you could run to a corner and escape it. but we still all agreed it was alot of fun and we have another trip planned.

We were there for a birthday party for four-year-old the kids had fun they liked the pizza. The scanners for the cards don't work about 80% of the time on the game's and that's a little frustrating.
