Being an avid birder, I just had to check this place out and I was not disappointed!! In fact, I spent about twice as long here as I anticipated! Even my son loved it and he usually rolls his eyes when I start talking about birds lol! The grounds are a lot more expansive than I expected! It’s a huge complex with many different sections and “houses” that allow you to walk around inside! One of my faves was the rainforest habitat - there were so many colorful and loquacious birds flitting around in the trees surrounding us! They even had an owl hooting away behind a bamboo screen and he was eating a poor little mouse! Peacocks actively roam around the grounds openly and let you get pretty close for some great pics. They had tons of waterfowl and the Flamingos were putting on an incredible show - dancing around and almost seeming to fight and chase each other! I was so surprised at all the activity given that it was a chilly winter morning - Fabulous day! It’s very easy to find - located inside lovely Liberty Park. We parked on the outer ring that encircles the park but there seems to be another parking lot closer to the entrance so just keep an eye out for that turn-in. The prices are very reasonable given the quality of the attractions. They have a cute little gift shop inside as well. The grounds have seating areas and nice sidewalks with maps placed very frequently so you can find your way and be sure not to miss anything. There were several closed areas - one small area closed off bc a tree had fallen and pulled up a bunch of the sidewalk due to a recent windstorm. Shame bc it looked like such a nice area - but you could still see the birdies inside. The “theater” where they hold demonstrations and such is also closed - we could see there were some interesting birdy specimens inside but couldn’t get to them so that was a bummer but that just means we’ll have to go back!

Based on information from the Utah Office of Tourism (300 North State Street, SLC), we drove down the hill to South Temple Street for a quick visit to the Cathedral of the Madeleine. Beautiful stained glass, quiet time, interesting organ. Being Ash Wednesday the church was open and getting ready for services. We found parking on the side street easily. Would work this in with the self guided tour down South Temple Street as suggested by the tourism office, next time!

The best massage that I have ever had. The spa personnel are quick to welcome you and escort you to the appropriate place. Your massage therapist then takes you to the massage room, and discusses any preferences that you may have. Carrie was so professional and incorporated the hot stones extremely well during my 90 minute massage. Thank you Carrie????❤️
