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.

Inside the original station are photos from the railroad days, laboratory equipment and tools from the smelter.

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!

General admission is free, and there is a donation jar near the entrance for anyone who would like to help support the planetarium. The exhibits were educational, engaging, and very interactive. We saw a model of Earth, looked at several types of telescopes, learned how tornadoes form, and explored a variety of hands-on games and activities. The moon exhibit was one of our favorite areas. We enjoyed learning about the moon in such a fun way, and getting to touch a real moon rock made the experience even more memorable. The upper floors also offered interesting exhibits about energy, space, and science. Unfortunately, a few of the interactive exhibits were not working during our visit, so I hope they will be repaired soon. Even so, we had an amazing experience, and I highly recommend the Clark Planetarium--especially for families with children. I paid $3.50 for an hour of street parking, but there is also a nearby parking garage. The shopping and dining area behind the planetarium was very convenient and only a short walk away. If you plan to stay longer or visit the surrounding shops and restaurants, the garage may be the better option.

I read up on military stories. And sometimes, I was lucky enough to meet a veteran that would share their stories. Hill Aerospace had all of that. Since my wife does the planning, I didn't think much of our visit until we pulled up and those large decommissioned military planes sitting outside in all of its glory brought me back to when I was 10 years old. But the magic continues after you walk in. Within three large hangers housed of some of the most historically iconic planes on display. Add a small platoon of veterans, many of which had personally flown some of these pieces, the stories were endless and I had the honor of speaking with a number of these veterans and listen to their stories. It was an amazing time and I could have spent the whole day there. I don't say this often, but Hill Aerospace is almost a destination museum. It was such a great experience and those veterans made it that much more special.

Something we found interesting was that on a Saturday morning it was pretty empty, it definitely started to pick up around early afternoon.

I'm talking dressed-up crowd, glitter everywhere, real champagne, and the kind of DJ who knew exactly when to drop Beyoncé, ABBA, and a surprise 2000s throwback that had all of us losing our minds. I came in thinking I might just sip something bubbly and leave before midnight. Instead, I danced for four hours straight, made new friends, and now have a very blurry selfie that might become a family heirloom. The setting was gorgeous, by the way. Big open spaces, cool lighting, and just enough art and architecture to make you feel elevated while also clutching your clutch and screaming the lyrics to "Mr. Brightside." The vibe was party, but in a classy way. Like you could go full glam and not feel out of place, but also not feel judged if you kicked your heels off before midnight and went rogue on the dance floor. Which I did. No regrets. Would I go again? Already planning my outfit. 10 out of 10, would ring in the new year under a disco ball surrounded by Salt Lake's most unhinged and best-dressed again.

Entering through the gift shop, you can go forward into the exhibits OR turn left and grab a drink at the "museum bar". Is this really Utah? Perhaps it was because we held a private event here but it felt like it's always open. Excellent.

There is not a boring inch in the whole facility as they even decorate their employee access doors with intricate art work. Tasteful planters everywhere. The employees and volunteers are helpful and friendly. Such interesting information on species and habitats. A shout out for their café. Reasonable prices for delicious food. It was $13 for a pub smash burger and drink and fries. Only a couple of bucks more than a #1 at In-N-Out. It was really tasty! Bun was homemade delicious. The fries were exceptional. Crispy outside and creamy inside. Garlic fries. My wife had the Romain lettuce something bowl with pulled pork. She said it was excellent. Very generous portion as she got full half way through. My son then scarfed it down. I also couldn't resist and had to buy a chocolate cupcake. Very moist and the frosting was real frosting, not the yucky, airy stuff that grocery stores put on their sheet cakes. Pretzels are amazing. We did the ECCO virtual reality "ride." Of course, not anywhere near a Disneyland level of a ride, but it was informative and interesting and fun. You can do the ocean or Amazon river experience. We did both. This is free and included in your admission. I really like how they put benches to sit throughout the facility. When you visit such places, you get "mall legs" and sitting down is a respite. Highlights: Penguins! (So cute and funny!), shark tunnel, touch ponds, otters, jelly fish, giant fish, aviary. There is a very nice little kids' playground. Interesting to get an up close look at the claw (ECCO). [It was the staging for U2's 360° concert tour for lighting, video, sound, SFX. The aquarium owner saw it was for sale and bought it. it was dissembled, shipped, and re-assembled.] Get there when they open or close to it for close in parking and less crowds. Such a great place to have nearby. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!
