Megaplex Theaters, The District

Reviewed By chevelleskick - Herriman, Utah

We attend weekly. Recently we have experienced bad popcorn and luxury seats that dont heat any longer. Not really a big deal but Megaplex contacted us and we sent them a statement. I didnt thin they would respond and were just collecting data. Wow that evening they apologized and offered tickets and popcorn for the review. We really like going to the show there and will return.

Since we come from out of town, this place is the perfect opportunity for a day trip. Honestly, if you've been to larger city aquariums, you're not going to find this one equally grand. However, it is a lovely aquarium given the location. It has...MoreHello, Thank you for your review and feedback. We're glad you and your family enjoyed the Aquarium and the otters and penguins!

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.

Topgolf Salt Lake City

Topgolf is the premier golf entertainment complex where the competition of sport meets your favorite local hangout. Players hit golf balls containing computer microchips that track each shot's accuracy and distance while also awarding points for hitting targets on the outfield. Each venue offers an upscale, laid-back experience that features climate-controlled hitting bays, event spaces for groups of all sizes, and an impressive food and drink menu. Let's Play!

First time visiting a Topgolf and loved it. Great concept - have fun working on your swing while visiting with friends, having drinks, and enjoying great food. I found the challenges to be engaging and fun, the food was better than I expected, and the service was perfect. We went back 3 days later and had an equally great time. I live on the East Coast and wish I had one closer than 1-hour away. I think this concept is great.
Only complaint - I had a couple shots (in the target) that didn't register. Other than that - it was exceptional.

Had a few minutes to burn so took my son on the par 3 course.... Course is in poor condition at best and runs parallel to driving range ( no fence separating the 2) Needless to say you are constantly stepping over range balls and looking over your shoulder thinking you might get hit! Service was good.

Reviewed By Steven H - Blaine, Minnesota

I think the owners are living their dream and doing a great job at it. We took the tour which was good. Had the "samples" all of which were good. Good people here, took the time to answer any and all of my questions (off the wall ones such as about his dual head compressor and diaphragm pump) and those of others. My GPS got us close but not right on the address ended going in the "back door." My wife and I had an enjoyable experience here. Keep up the good work.

Sri Ganesha Hindu Temple of Utah

Reviewed By 4GTravels - Ohio

Since Salt Lake City is known for Temple Square downtown, I looked up other temples online and found the Sri Ganesha Hindu Temple. The temple itself is nestled behind retail and residential area. It is a small temple which has the main hindu gods. The night I went, there must have been a Ganesh festival because many people were there and service was going on. Parking is tight (esp. if there is an event). Inside is cozy and there is a separate small dining hall that can be accessed to the right as you walk out of the temple.
