We had a family group of 17 with 2 rooms reserved. We had 5 teen-agers and one adult in Leonardo's Loot which gave the teens a chance to take charge and solve clues on their own with the adult offering help if needed. The group of 11 was mostly adults with 3 younger children in Crazy Hoarder's Attic. Both groups had very positive experiences and completed the puzzles before time expired. The teamwork and energy were the best outcomes. Our ages ranged from 5 years old to 66. Very family oriented and staff are committed to positive outcomes.

All Together Playground

Reviewed By KayeN675 - Provo, United States

This has quickly become our favorite playground in the area. The features are built so that adults can also ride with the kids - it's so much fun! Leave your cell phones behind and play! Someone put a lot of thought into this place - it's inviting for all ages and capabilities. It does get crowded in the summer but we've been even in the winter! We just bundled up and went. Thanks to whoever came up with this park - it's wonderful!

Roots of Knowledge

Reviewed By rhitman32

Free admission to view a beautiful and thoughtfully designed stained glass wall in the University library. It is well lighted in the afternoons when the sun is in the west. There are limits on the number of visitors right now. We have been there multiple times and enjoy it each time. The team that created the windows works out of a studio at Thanksgiving Point and a tour there is also interesting.

The trail is great, much better than when I was a kid riding my bike and walking next to the uncovered canal on the dirt road.

UTA - Front Runner

Reviewed By Gcook19 - Orem, United States

If you are a college student in utah you get to ride UTA free so instead of having someone take you to the SLC Airport just hop on a bus and train for free and you'll get taken straight to the airport! It's so convenient and a comfortable ride.
