The Cross E Ranch Fall Festival has been a family favorite of ours for nearly a decade, and it just…read morekeeps getting better every year! There's something for everyone here, but our kids especially love it. Each season, the ranch adds new activities, and despite the growing crowds, it never feels too packed thanks to the wide-open space and plenty to do. Our kids make a beeline for the corn pits first thing--they could play there for hours! They're also big fans of the giant slide and obstacle course. As a dad, I have to say their burgers are top-notch--some of the best you'll find at any local event. Just don't wait until the end of the night like I did, or you'll be stuck in a long line. And whatever you do, don't skip the donuts! They come in cinnamon sugar and glazed, and while both are amazing, the glazed ones are my personal favorite. The hayride is always a relaxing highlight of the evening. If you plan to visit later in the day, make sure to dress warmly--it gets chilly fast once the sun goes down! It might even be nice if the ranch offered blankets for guests on those cold nights. One small suggestion for the staff: at the rock climbing wall, please make sure younger kids get assigned to the easier side. My 7-year-old was put on the harder one and only made it a few feet up, but she still had fun trying! Overall, Cross E Ranch continues to deliver an unforgettable fall experience. We look forward to it every year!

If you want to do the corn maze, be prepared for some mud! Don't wear white tennis shoes like us but we were able to hop around the mini-maze without too much mud. I was surprised to find there are no lights and it stays open after dark so maybe also bring a flashlight? Friends raved about the donuts, but they just weren't as apple-y as I was hoping. They fully enjoyed so I'm the odd one out here. There was a small $2 discount for coming in after 6:30pm. Then they also have a you pick pumpkin patch for free that I did not see. They are really weird about buying tickets, you CANNOT buy tickets from the idle employees sitting in the booth. I had to fill out a whole form and enter credit card info on my phone and then show them the barcode. This part seems especially odd and annoying.

Cons: Advertised as free, but got to the entrance and they were charging a fee ($5), no prices when you get to the food area, so I just started grabbing a few items I wanted to try. As did my better half. We had two full plates and two calamari bowls. When we got to the cashier our total was a whopping $200+ bill. I was dumbfounded. They had a ticket type process for the alcohol? You buy tickets and trade them for the alcohol. On our first trip up the gentleman said we were short one ticket. So we had to go back to the ticket line and ask for another ticket. Why not use cash or card? The food we chose was alright and authentic, but way overpriced in my opinion. The calamari was yummy. I understand it's a fundraising effort for the Greek Orthodox Church, but I honestly wouldn't attend another festival myself. Too expensive.

My kids are 2 and 5 and they had a blast. My partner and I typically love kids museums, but we didn't enjoy this one. We went on a Monday around 3 and it was packed. As an educator I really appreciated how exhibits were super low floor and high ceiling so kids of a large age range could all enjoy, but as a mom of littles it was dangerous and overwhelming. There were so many kids sprinting around unsupervised which was a safety issue for my little ones. They got pushed around a lot, many kids were hoarding all the balls or pieces for certain exhibits. The amount of running was pretty dangerous especially for my almost 2 year old. I liked that they had indoor and outdoor exhibits. They had a car repair shop, water play, air driven scarf and ball mazes, fish feeding (for a cost), a play ground, a climbing gym, a ropes course, a cafe, a gift shop, mazes and brain games, and many other exhibits. They had a variety of locations to park strollers. There were steps and elevators. The bags they put the fish food in were way too flimsy. Both broke on my kids and we were scrambling trying to hold the food and pick it up off the ground. It was nice that they have free parking and don't make you exit through the gift shop.

Our guy is 20 months old and had the best time running around and discovering everything. He especially loved the little make-believe town and playing with all the different interactive elements but the water tables were the clear favorite! He could've stayed there forever. Such a fun, engaging experience for kids and parents alike. We can't wait to go back and explore even more next time! PS they supply aprons and water boots in the water table room! Super convenient. I suggest bringing a change of clothes or some PJS to change your little one into in case they get soaked!

Save your money for a trip to the Las Vegas exhibition…read more This is a mini-exhibition that costs as much as the full experience in other locations. It's much shorter and includes far less. Most of the artefacts are paper items. Of the non-paper ones, there are very, very few, if any, from Titanic itself (a swimming medal that belonged to one passenger?). It's almost all replicas or items from other White Star Line ships. Of course, this isn't disclosed until guests arrive and read a sign that advises that the wreck and its debris field weren't disturbed in the creation of this exhibition. Some classic moments from larger, better exhibitions are re-created. There is a small version of the Grand Staircase, a replica of a first-class stateroom and a third-class room, a couple of interior hallways (not labeled for class, so guests must guess), a mini-promenade deck with an LED night sky/star backdrop (neither chilly nor breezy), and of course, a small "iceberg." There are a few movie props, including costumes only worn by dummies. One of the final rooms is meant to give visitors the feeling of walking atop the debris field. It's just a big sandbox under a glass floor grid, with a few scattered white crockery items, two leather shoes, and a replica of the 1997 movie's "Heart of the Ocean" necklace lying in the sand, all illuminated by "underwater" lighting effects. Children may find this entertaining, but anyone else, not so much. The gift shop is just as mediocre as the experience.

Thanks to Yelp, I got a free pass, so the $45 Tasting Pass I got for my wife was a bit easier to swallow. So to speak. Sponsored by Salt Lake Magazine, several of my Utah faves were there: Bar George, Beehive Cheese, Campos Coffee, CoreLife Eatery, Cremenelli, Fav Bistro, Last Course Desert Studio, Park City Culinary Institute, Rodizio Grill, The Ruin, Rye, Salt & Honey Market, Spencer's Steakhouse, Squatters Pub & Brewery, Stoneground Kitchen, Texas de Brazil, and Tsunami. Who really stood out? For me, Texas de Brazil's Flank Steak with Horseradish Mashed Potatoes and Chimichurri was one of the best I had. I'll be going there soon! Stoneground Italian Kitchen brought forth an amazing basil Pesto pasta ... I love Pesto, consider myself a Pesto snob, and was very impressed with their offering. Then there's the Park City Culinary Institute ... their one-of-a-kind salty and sweet concoctions make me confident in a bright future for the chefs coming soon to restaurants near you! Eva's Bakery gave us two dishes: Raspberry Lemon pastry and Banh Mi sandwich ... both were fresh and flavorful. Corelife Eatery brought forth both sweet/fruity and spicy/veggie dishes, giving me a few new entries for my CE to-do list. Then there are those I know well that didn't disappoint: Beehive Cheese brought their diverse group of cheeses: Some sweet, some spicy, some packing that rich cheesy punch. And they charcuteried up the joint with their delicious meat options. This is the third event I've been to where San Diablo brought their amazing churros ... and I partook again! My recommendations for future Tastemakers? 1. More options. 2. Make sure the exhibitors are there THE ENTIRE TIME of the event. 3. Make sure participating restaurants off the main drag (Dave and Busters, Tucano's, etc.) have clear signage inside and outside promoting the event. I think all the elements are there for a perfect event. What I ate was awesome, and I hope future events are even better!
