My oldest son wanted to check out an aviary this time instead and the rest of the family agreed...It was a great decision. Tracy Aviary is located within Liberty Park next to downtown Salt Lake City. We walked through the visitor center and paid the entry fee and then we were off. We checkout the easy-to-read map of the park and there were many more exhibits and areas to explore than I expected. As we headed towards our first destination, owl forest, a vulture and its handler walked right by us like we were neighbors. We spent about 90mins here until early sunset checking out all the exhibits and birds they had to offer. Many of the cages were quite open an conducive to actually seeing the birds. One main issue I've had with aviaries in the past is the birds are always hiding in the foliage or in the corner of their enclosure. Here, it was like the employees asked the birds to strut by us on a catwalk so an amazing view. I really enjoyed the South American bird pavilion, the enormous pelicans in the pond, the rainforest habitat and more. It also helped the weather was perfect...slight warmth from the sun but a cool breeze to keep me from sweating. On our way out at closing time, I learned this is the oldest aviary in the US and it was home to 400+ birds and over 120 species. We all had a great time and would come back here again to spend more time.

We visited Tracy Aviary with our toddler during a short trip to SLC and absolutely loved it! If…read moreyou're visiting on a Saturday, do not miss the 11:00 AM bird show. It was the highlight of our trip--super fun, educational, and we got to see so many birds up close. The grounds are well-organized with sections for everything from majestic eagles and owls to vibrant flamingos. I'd recommend budgeting at least 2 hours to see everything without rushing. We also appreciated the extra amenities; the small cafe, park area, and visitor center really rounded out the morning. It's a perfect, low-stress destination for families!

It's a Salt Lake City staple for a reason! I brought my family here for dinner and wondered why I…read moredon't come here more often. It was the Monday during the holiday break after Christmas where no one is wanting to cook, so it seemed like everyone had the same idea of going out to eat. We had a party of 5 and waited at the bar for 15 minutes until our table was ready. Service was super friendly and wonderful. When we were seated, our server Sebastian was great. I forgot how much I love their garden burger patty and their garlic rosemary fries. They also have a spicy black bean option for the vegetarians/vegans. Obviously they have a ton of great options for the meat eaters primarily, I mean it's a burger bar how could they not. Needless to say, I won't be forgetting about this place ever again! Dice bar vibes on the inside, and in the summer they have a lovely patio too.

The Diet Coke came in a HUGE glass (as it should!!) and the brew was good. He got the rabbit foot brewing beach bunny and really enjoyed it. Juan let us know people have been loving this and that the owner of lucky 13 is involved with rabbit foot brewing. Love a local connection!! For food, I got the celestial burger and my husband got the ol man. Omg they were delicious!! They are on the pricier side, but the portions are BIG. Could def be shared. Their onion rings are amazing. I tried the rosemary garlic fries and they were delicious!! I would def recommended checking out lucky 13!!

They did NOT have a glass of wine available for less than $45 (+$20 cover). They have $30/glass on the menu but was out of stock according to the waitress. I also did not go to Sundance and am not here for that so his comment about being *out of my depth* is just dumb. I encourage you to look at the one star reviews of this place and see the owners' hostile, immature, and abrasive responses (others also note his blatant habit of lying). Stephen, book a therapy appointment. Original review below *********** There is a $20 cover charge to enter, and they were out of all of the cheapest ($30/glass) glasses of wine, so we were forced to get the next cheapest, a $45 glass of wine. Are you willing to spend $65 for a cheap glass of wine? They also only have five cocktails on the menu and you can't order anything else with liquor (I asked for a hot toddy cuz I'm freezing and they said no can do). The singer was good and the ambiance is nice; not very crowded. But overall, I would never pay $65/glass for mediocre wine unless I'm at an ultra luxury resort (which this is not).

I thought they were ok but extremely salty. The rest of my party did not like them. Then had a Caesar salad. Honestly one of the most bland Caesar salads Ive ever had. It may not be the worst caesar I've ever had but it is one of the most forgettable. For an entree, ordered the tagliatelle, it was also extremely bland and also forgettable. I only ordered it because I was sharing. I would have never chosen it if I was ordering on my own. Its the time of dish that leaves you disappointed and wanting something else. We sat outside. Weather was nice but there were a ton of flies. A few landed in our drinks and food. Not the restaurants fault. And not grading them down on this. If anything the weather was better than the fly experience. Based on my experience, I would maybe consider coming back but try something else besides the salad and pasta. Its a strong maybe though.

I'm totally blown away every time I ski here. From the views, to the bipolar weather, to the…read morequality and quantity of untracked powder, it just feels like you're skiing on another planet almost. The last time I went it was snowing while sunny out somehow, with the sun shining through the storm clouds above, and felt surreal. This was my first season skiing, though this is hands down the best ski resort I've been to so far. One time this April I made the mistake of crossing over into Snowbird's Mineral Basin, and the conditions were so much worse for just being on the other side of the ridge. It was way hotter, sunnier, and more crowded, with way more rocks, moguls, and dirt spots littering the runs, so I crossed back into Alta after 2 runs. The runs at Alta are wide and well groomed, so you can pick up some serious speed without feeling like you're risking your life doing so. Late season there was barely anyone else there too, even while it was snowing somehow (likely an effect of not allowing snowboarders). The staff here are top notch and always professional, and Alta has some of the best chairlifts I've seen. Another huge plus is how close you can park to the points at which you get on the base mountain chairlifts, as walking in ski boots while carrying skis is no fun. You can literally ski right up to your car at the end of the day if you park in the right spot. They also have a rope tow from base to base, which saves you from possibly having to take the bus at the end of the day to the other base. The only hiccups here were the requiring of parking reservations on weekends, and the pass scanner machine midway up Collins Lift not reading my Ikon Pass with no worker nearby to help, so I'd have to ski down to the bottom and take the lift all the way up.

We parked by 7:30am and hung out in the lodge until 8:30 AM when we lined up at Collins lift to get first tracks and the powder. Avalanche control going all morning. Today's storm wasn't very cold so the powder was heavy. The bowls didn't open up but skiing was still great! Plenty of terrain to cover even without the bowls. Because the powder was heavy, people were clearing out by 2 PM.

As stated in the review on United, the KTN number need to reflect on the boarding pass to bypass the BS long lines, removal of shoes, and outer clothing, etc. Explaining the deets to this soulless soul, was worse than returning to the kiosk to add the pre check. I removed my shoes, because I was pressed for time, and I also informed her of the tablet I had in my backpack, which is another additional step that had to be done in standard lines, which got my held up, and rechecked again. Annette did not want me to place my bin of belonging in line of the other bins, but she never came to my section to handle my bins. Even my iPad that had to be scanned separately returned before my shoes. And my bin with my shoes was place there BEFORE my BODY went through security. And BEFORE my backpack was scanned the first time, and my bag and iPad was scanned for the second time, and this golden girl Annette STILL WAS NOT PLACING MY BIN WITH ONLY MY SHOES ALONE IN THE LINE TO BE SCANNED. ARE YOU F-ING SERIOUS. I missed my flight for this incompetent outdated TSA agent. She def need to be replaced, or either reassigned to a complete different department, like the check in kiosk, that don't require any lifting; just touching some buttons, or answering a phone.

So here we go...So a big group of us went to the shooting star first and after talking all together we decided we would go to Carlos and Harleys instead for a late lunch. We all traveled from different places and wanted to try somewhere most people hadn't been. As soon as we walked through the door the hostess, Renee treated us awful!! We had 2 other people that had to make a quick stop and because they were not there they wouldn't seat us. Everyone was starving so we just told them to seat the 10 of us for that moment. Again Renee acted like we were putting her out because we said just go ahead and seat us. Not even 10 minutes later the other couple showed up and we asked to add an extra table. Renee stormed out, as we all watched to go talk to her manager. The bartender was so sweet and came to add the extra table. A few minutes later we were approached by the manger Janelle and she aggressively asked who wanted to speak to the manager. Which we never requested. She then argued with us about how many people we said we had in our group. RENEE knew we were waiting for 2 more! But Janelle wanted to argue with us instead of apologizing for the way her employee treated us! Most of us only ended up ordering appetizers to get us through because we were all hungry. We were very tempted to just leave and if we wouldn't have had so many people we would have! Service was good and so was the drinks. The bartender was just awesome, I didnt get his name. I never write reviews but I felt like this was a story that needed to be told! We will not be going back there again!

Started the vehicle, and the windshield washer fluid was low (this covered up the check engine light, I should have paid attention to. Asked the attendant as I drove out if he could top it off... He didn't have any option for me except to fill it up myself later. There was a storm coming in later, but I did beat that to get to my hotel. I didn't drive the rest of the day because I fell ill. I woke up early the next morning and drove to get medications. When I started the vehicle, the Check Engine and ABS alarms went off, telling me it was unsafe to drive. But it was early and I needed meds, so I went to get them. Later that day (Monday), after my training, I called filed a request for road side assistance. After waiting for 3 hours (near 7 pm) I started a chat, the chat was not a live assistance. Get a live assistant. They tell me it will take till 9 or 10 to get the replacement. I ask them to wait until tomorrow morning. They state that they will call me in the morning to pick up where we've left off. I let my training cadre know that I will have to wait for a vehicle the next morning and stay back for the transfer, since they won't let me leave the key with the front desk, in case I need to sign something. So, Tuesday, I slept in till 7, had breakfast, and waited. About 8:30, I decided, maybe I'll need to initiate the process again, and contact assistance... chat with computer "I need to transfer you" Chat with live assistant, "a rescue team will call you". 20 min later, get a call from the rescue team. They inform me they've contacted someone to perform the vehicle exchange (mind you not clearly, so I don't know if I'm waiting for someone to bring the new rental and a tow truck, or just the tow truck). This could take up to 6 hrs of my already missed work day. I do get a refreshed link so I know the tow driver and can call them. 3 hrs in, I call, and get "VM has not been set up". 1 hr passes, I call, and a garbled, unrecognizable answer. I start receiving text reminding me, that I need to be there for the vehicle exchange. no calls. Call the 3rd time, a lady picks up "oh, he is close, and he has the replacement vehicle". "Awesome, thank you. He arrives at noon with a Dodge Durango- heck of an upgrade! Pulls it off the truck, give me the keys and I get in. "Low Tire Pressure" is the first thing I see. I ask him if he has an air compressor. He says "It looks okay, just go to a gas station". I say fine, give him the keys to the equinox and ask if there is anything to sign. There isn't. Could have easily been taken care of with the front desk. I drive a block, and the tire pressure sensor seems to have reset, I'm good to go, take it back to the parking lot. This morning, get one of the other training cadre to ride with me "to balance my luck," but also take a 6 seater for today's field trip. The tire is now completely flat. This evening, after seeing that the spare is a donut, and not knowing the distance I'm driving tomorrow, I decide to call Avis, and tell them just to pick up the car. Start the call process again- computer- specialist- rescue team. Rescue team guy says he has someone lined up to get the vehicle between 6 and 7:30. He connects me with customer service to inquire getting a refund. I speak with them, after 10 minutes, they let me know they can't do anything until the vehicle has been returned, which, we know I can't do myself.... It's approx 8:50. At 8, I started trying all of my "Rescue" links to track where the tow driver was... All of them go back to the original assistance request. After 7 tries, they finally get someone to call me. He states "oh, yeah this has been picked up"... I'm not calling about that one. I'm calling about the new one that I can't track. He calls the tow company (doesn't give me the number). And then lets me know, they'll be here in another hour. The vehicle is going to towed tomorrow. Do not recommend Avis is SLC for anyone!
