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.

This is probably one the best library that Ive visited. I normally visit a library when I'm in larger cities, its alot of fun. The library has different floors, beautiful art work, live working bee area, stores, food and a sunny rooftop! I visited during the summer months, so the views- mountains were unbelievable. I highly recommend a visit to all!

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.

No just stares me down between the bookshelf so rude so unprofessional and weird stalking me through bookshelves to get my child to be quiet. Not just that but it was very clear that as soon as my child calmed down, the worker left. It's stressful enough as a mom having your kid cry in public let alone someone staring you down while you're trying to calm your child is rude uncomfortable and NOT OKAY ! Never going back ever worse place on top of that smells like homeless piss and is so small

Spent some time in Temple Square when I was in town this week for a conference…read more I learned about the Restoration from statues on the grounds, entered the tabernacle to view the massive organ inside, and was impressed by the architecture of both the Assembly Hall and the Temple, which is currently closed for restorations till April 2027, after which it will be open to the general public for 6 months. Will be back, as I wasn't able to attend the noon choir during this trip.

"I'd take one in the temple I'd take one for you"…read more(Kings of Leon) Temple Square is where history and worship converge for the followers of the Mormon religion. It occupies five city blocks in downtown Salt Lake City with historic sites, exhibits, gardens, monuments and statues. The highlight of our visit was seeing the beautiful Tabernacle, an engineering marvel that needs no microphones. Its acoustic qualities are so perfect that you can literally hear a pin drop. Oh yeah, our tour guides demonstrated that amazing quality for us. Our guides were young Mormon sisters who walked us through the grounds and gardens and talked about the four statues spread around the property. Without a doubt, this is a "must see" if you ever visit Salt Lake City.

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.
