Wasatch Front Farmers Market makes its home at Gardner Village July through October. Spend the afternoon or day milling around Utah's favorite shopping, dining and historic experience.
Gardner Village is a really lovely, fun shopping experience for both kids and adults. It is exactly as the title says, a beautifully laid out, tiny village with some authentically historic buildings. Though it's a little out-of-the-way for the average visitor to Salt Lake City (located about 25 minutes away from downtown, in West Jordan), it's well worth the effort if you have the time. Most of the shops are small, locally owned businesses, and you can actually find a number of items handmade in Utah. There's a great candy shop that also has really good cocoa and ice cream, a toy store, a knitting store, kid's clothing, a great consignment housewares store, and so on. During the Christmas season, they have scenes from an elf village place throughout, with a scavenger hunt for the kids. In the field next to the village, they often have activities set up for kids - pony rides, and so forth. I highly recommend it as a shopping outing, especially if you're looking for something a little different.

Utah Olympic Oval is home to the 'Fastest Ice on Earth'. We invite you to skate and play at this spectacular venue. From beginner programs to public skate sessions, there is something for everyone.
During the Christmas season the Oval is closed but the parking lot is used for a drive through, 1 mile, 1 million+ lights show synched to music. Cost was about $25 per car. Reservations needed. All I can say about the show is WOW!!! Take time to see this event!

Hale Centre Theatre (HCT) is Utah's Premiere Family Theatre whose mission is to provide afforadable world-class family theatre and theatre education for and by the community. HCT produces plays and musicals year-round in its center stage theatre. HCT opened in 1985 in South Salt Lake and became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 1997 in preparation to move to its current location in West Valley City in 1998. HCT provides theatre education programs as well as costume rentals.
We love HTC and have come attended numerous performances over the years. Such a great venue for these wonderful musicals. We just saw Seven Brides for Seven Brothers the other night. It's one of our favorite musicals and HTC did not disappoint. Everything was great. The scenery, the music, and the actors were fantastic. It really is a wonderful little place to visit. We hope to return after they have relocated.

Just returned from my second Westwater Canyon trip and what an amazing time. This company does it right and the trip was absolutely perfect. A big thanks to Colter, Rolf, Vern, Sandy and Josh for doing such an outstanding job taking care of everything. They love their work and in so doing make the entire experience simply fantastic. Holiday sets a bar that few others can meet and we are already thinking about another trip next year.

We had a spectacular time at the motorcycle on ice event, and for the hockey game as well. We had safe parking, good food options, and a memorable family night out. I highly recommend it.
We have also held corporate events there and other large meetings.

I have gone to these theaters for as long as they have been open. They are always very clean and the various workers, from box office to snack bar to maintenance workers are all very efficient and friendly. I highly recommend these theaters for a great movie going experience.

Yet more massive, brutalist architecture, with a good attempt to soften it by instituting rooftop gardens. Lines were long for the Thursday evening rehearsal of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (this is the summer venue), but no worries, the hall seats 21,000. This choir ARRIVES PREPARED, with music already learned. What a difference that makes.

Fantastic private tour of the Scales & Tails facility. It was the highlight of our vacation! Hayley was very knowledgable about all the animals and patient with all our questions. She's like a encyclopedia. Everyone enjoyed touching the snakes, lizards and turtles, even the 2 ladies who don't like reptiles. The facility is well kept and organized. Being there is like being in your own private zoo. We are already planning our visit next year.

Best caravan park I've stayed at in the world. Clean and spotless grounds , handy shop with enough to stop you starving. Freindly staff that keep this place tidier than anything else in town, plus far enough of the road to kill some traffic noise

Rocky Mountain Raceways features fast-paced racing action on a state-of-the-art oval track, quarter-mile drag strip, and motocross track. Rev up the fun at Rocky Mountain Raceways!
Our first trip to Rocky Mountain Raceways was for the end-of-the-season jet drags, and it was fantastic! I've been to other drag strips before, in several states, but Rocky Mountain Raceways quickly became my favorite. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is great, and there's just a great vibe about the place. I can't imagine having a better experience at a race track. I will definitely be back!
