You'll find it right outside the convention center at the intersection. Pick a sign that best matches your mood or situation, and snag a photo. Even in the evening hours, this can be a fun stop.

And impressive given everything is up cycle/ reused or donated I'm not comparing to meow wolf or other immersion experiences. It is amateur in comparison.

When planning our visit in SLC, it was my wife's idea to check out Dreamscapes. You can either…read morepurchase tickets online or in person. I thought it was best to purchase in person, just in case we were late and not knowing how the parking would effect our arrival. Luckily there was parking near there, but only paid $3.50 an hr to park, so might as well. I figured it may take us about an hour to explore Dreamscapes. I saw the sign in the front of there store to scan and purchase tickets on your phone. The lady when over a few rules and procedure. We really had a fun and enjoyable time filled with laughter. The creativity and unique concept gave each room an amazing experience. Plenty of photo ops you could think of which made it interesting. If you have a weird but artistic imagination, I believe you will enjoy Dreamscapes.

All of the levels and common areas had an abundance of space and tall ceilings! The stairs and elevators were close together and easy to navigate. The Children's Library on the downstairs level was adorable! It brandished childrens' artwork, play tables and many other fun ideas. We ventured through each level and then made our way to the rooftop which had a lot of seating and spectacular views of downtown SLC and its surroundings. The weather was perfect to stay up there and chat for an hour. We also visited the Library Bees- we didn't expect to find Langstroth hives inside a library. This is the coolest library I've been to in the US. If you love books and libraries this is a can't miss experience.

Is this the most amazing library in the country?? I can't imagine a better one. My kids spent 1.5…read morehours in just two of the little alcoves in the kid floor downstairs. It's incredible. There's an enclosed outdoor area as well, an "attic," so much tactile stuff, even an enclosed play pen for littles with walls of board books. And that's just one of five floors (+ rooftop garden). There are shops and a cafe on the main entrance. They give you two free hours of parking, which will FLY by. Honestly, I could live here.

It's modern in that clean, beautiful way where you suddenly feel like a better person just by walking inside. I had time before the show started, so I wandered around pretending I had my life together, which honestly was very believable in that lighting. The staff was so sweet and genuinely helpful. Like not just "here's your answer" helpful, but "I love my job and also hope you have a great day" helpful. Rare and deeply appreciated. There are big windows everywhere, comfy seats, little pockets of calm where you can read, think, or journal about how magical the place is. I would come here even without a performance, just to sit and pretend I'm writing my novel or about to run into someone who's about to change my life. Also, yes, there's a rooftop patio, and yes, it's as dreamy as it sounds. If I lived closer, I'd be here all the time, probably with a lavender tea, trying not to romanticize everything but definitely failing.

Dang, you so pretty! I mean, when they build a library, they really build a library. SLC Library…read morepeeps have already proven that with the downtown wonder, but even though this lil' guy is just a wee one, doesn't mean they didn't make it nice, because they really made something wonderful. I was looking to plan a meeting and as a card carrying member, I remembered that they let you book rooms here for free with your library account. We grabbed one of the study rooms, booked it out several days in advance, and had a really productive time. You can only book two hour blocks total, but how handy is that? The library itself is beautiful inside and out, with stories worth of stories (see what I did there?). The room we were in was on the second story, but now that they're building that massive structure to the north, the northerly views are obstructed. Still, that second story has an outdoor deck area that looks like it would amazing in better weather. Kudos to SLC Library for planting this in the up-and-coming Marmalade District and making it a fixture for years to come.

Will be back, as I wasn't able to attend the noon choir during this trip.

This is just to clarify to the 4 people in the world who don't know--the local basketball team is the Utah Jazz.) We love you, Jazz. It's a tough night to write this, but with time I am certain the sting will fade. So let's focus on the love. On the joy. On the happiness that will certainly come. Oh, I'm not saying let's not look back. On the contrary, that's what this mural is all about. Looking back on 40 years of Jazz history. It's a collage of imagery celebrating some of the great moments of the basketball team, and some of the larger than life characters. "You gotta love it, baby," and Larry H, Big number 53 (RIP, Mark), as well as recent history with Spidey. The '92 All-Star game, 103-100... if you know, you know. I won't ruin all the surprises, but for hardcore Jazz fans this is like a big game of Where's Waldo except every little nugget is a hidden Waldo. The cartoonish figures and careful use of color are pretty awesome, so shoutout the artist Trent Call and his unmistakable style.

It's black and white and simple, but it's so pure and so to the heart of what the setting is all about: Squatters, one of the OG local breweries of Utah. On the far right hand side is the hops-for-a-beard dude created by Chuck Landvatter. Infused with color and holding a pint, this is another nod to the brewery. Finally, the piece added latest was by Tribune cartoonist Pat Bagley who created Lady Libeerty (get it) in celebration of free press and free speech. Her torch is especially cool as it covers a window and will illuminate from within at night. If you're here, you probably ought to go inside to Squatters and check it out. Whether grabbing a drink or just a bite, it's a great pairing with the mural.
