Station Park

Reviewed By truthbyLG - Salt Lake City, United States

Very upscale and scenic. This is a large, multi-street, outside retail venue (think H&M and Sephora) that is especially beautiful and quaint at night due to the white twinkle lights, large fireplaces, benches, and overhead music. Many places are open late in here. Be prepared to walk a bit if you are retail shopping, unless you can find parking along the streets in front of the stores. Be sure not to miss the outstanding restaurants and eateries located deep within the retail area. The more common eateries like Panda Express and Chick Fil-A are located across the parking lot near the very popular Nordstrom Rack and Home Goods.

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.

We went to hike Antelope Island and picked the 33 Bison Roundup!Started by crossing the 7.5 mile causeway onto an amazing, serene and beautiful island.The Park Service staff greeted us with smiles and pride for their island home. At first bison grazed while cowboys and cowgals mounted their beautiful horses. Soon bison realized riders were near and started slowly but picked up speed;to a run.Huge beasts racing along the shoreline and up a ridge heading for the corral. Park employees wisely kept visitors safe and away from charging bison. After the roundup we hiked Buffalo Trail and saw sweeping views of the Grear Salt Lake.It was a memorable day and location I will never forget.Minutes from downtown Salt Lake; vast wilderness beauty.

Donut Falls

Reviewed By MisCoral

What a great afternoon adventure. First off, I’m not a hiker… but, I’m trying! My sister and I decided to take a couple of hours (honestly that is all it takes) and go see Donut Falls. Google Maps takes you right to the trail head. There is a very tiny parking lot located at the beginning of the trail. It also has a bathroom for your convenience. We got one of the spots, but we noticed that people also parked along the sides leading up to the lot, too. When we started, we were not sure which path to take! There were no signs indicating which way to go to see the Falls. But, someone who had been there before told us which way to go. Just walk up behind the restrooms and you are on the path to see Donut Falls. When you start, it is a bit of an incline. But, it does level out after a little effort. The trail is very obvious, and while on the hike there are signs indicating which way to go. There is one area where you climb down a rock, and you do have to balance on stones to keep from getting your feet wet. It’s so very pretty and peaceful! My advice is wear good shoes that have some grip – they might get wet. Bring a light jacket, it is cooler up there.

Adams Canyon Trail

This is an awesome hike! Beautiful scenery traveling your way up to an amazing waterfall. I have hiked this several times. Great photo opportunities as well. I enjoy the quiet sounds of nature and the challenge of a great workout. Bring water, fruit or light snack for energy!

South Davis Recreation Center

Reviewed By 679brucek - Bountiful, United States

Glad to claim membership as a regular attender of SDRC - at least before COVID-19. I've not used the ice rink, sport court, or played racquetball, but I have used just about everything else. Great staff. Great equipment. Can't wait to get back - especially to my early a.m. swims. Also appreciate the many events that are regularly organized.

We did the VIP experience and it was amazing, definitely worth it! This isn't like any other Aquariums, which my kids get bored because they aren't super into looking at animals. This one is very interactive and super fun to use tokens to feed the animals! Stephanie was amazing and super helpful to show us around. Even the maintenance guy gave us tips on the animals and feeding them! There was always someone there to help us! Our favorite token feedings were going into the tortoise enclosure and feeding it, playing with the cats, feeding the birds, and feeding the lizards. I loved snorkeling with the stingrays and feeding them in the tank! This was so amazing, and definitely something you should book to do there. Although my daughter didn't love snorkeling she could sit on a glass bench in the tank and have the stingrays come sit next to her while I snorkeled. There was a lady (forgot her name) that was super awesome in the tank with helping us. For the price it was just fantastic! My daughter (8 yr old) loved the sloth encounter and the kinkajou one. I loved the fish spa and they have a free hand fish bar that is amazing!! I have never seen an aquarium with one and it was fantastic!! I would recommend getting a package deal to do all the extras, they made our trip special to do things you might never get to do again! We spent about 4 hours there which was amazing because usually my daughter doesn't spend much time at aquariums, and this one was very small compared to other expensive ones!

Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve

Reviewed By CheryceW

We love going to the preserve to see the different birds and other animals. It is flat so it's easy for everyone and my kids love to climb the tower. we have seen lots of different wildlife too like beavers, frogs, birds, and cows. Be aware of the mosquitoes though. They can be vicious early and late in the day.
