This is a hidden gem and one that people, especially birders, need to know about. Because of COVID the instruction center is closed for now so we missed out on that. But the walks and drive along the dikes are wonderful! We passed about 8 other cars with bird watchers and maybe 6 trucks with airboats. Even though these are loud, they didn't disturb our experience much. We saw 42 species of birds in about 4 hours - Pelicans, Canada geese, Gadwalls, Great Blue Herons, Pintails, Teals, Grebes, Avocets, Sand pipers, Yellow legs, blackbirds and more. The water ways are beautiful and inviting for the birds and habitat. The road is well maintained. There is a pit toilet near the beginning of the drive - it's the only one on the drive - nothing farther out. This really is an amazing treasure so close to the populated Wasatch Front. We will make trips back, for sure. Take binoculars, water and sunscreen for warmer days. It was a bit chilly and windy but it was a beautiful day.

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.

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.

I really enjoy a good hike. I read this trail was rated hard but I would definitely put it in the moderate category. The uphill was pretty straightforward, mostly up but then there are pretty decent stretches of more flat land. Unfortunately, I chose to go up on a cloudy day and then it started to snow. Unless you have the right equipment, I'd suggest not going when the snow is sticking to the ground. The way up was fine, just no real views to enjoy. But coming back down, there were areas where I was pretty close to slipping and falling and definitely had to slide down on one or two steep places. There are mile markers on the trail so it's nice to know when you're getting to the 2 and 3 mile marker. After the 3 mile marker (trail said it was 3.2 to peak) there were no directions and with the snow it was really hard to tell where the trail was headed. I accidentally started heading up the ridge but for safety concerns decided I had gone far enough and just turned around and headed back down. This is probably a great hike on a nice clear day. It only took 1.5 hours up and 1 hr down if you're going at a normal walking pace.

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!

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!

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.
