Attended my friend's wedding reception here. The venue itself is beautiful, with lots of greenery…read moreand natural charm--so much so that the couple didn't need to add much in terms of decorations. It's a lovely space visually, but there were several issues that made the experience less enjoyable. The venue is located right next to a busy road, and traffic noise was a real distraction. During the ring ceremony, when the couple was exchanging vows, we could hear cars honking outside, which really disrupted the moment. Inside, it was very humid and made the space feel hot and sticky--especially tough for guests dressed formally. The sound system also left a lot to be desired. The MC had trouble playing music, and no staff were around to assist. I had to walk all the way to the office to find a hostess, and all of this delayed the program. The groom also performed a song for the bride, but the mic quality was poor and we could barely hear him. There is a parking lot, which is convenient, and the venue does have potential. But between the noise, heat, and tech issues, it's hard to fully recommend for events where comfort and smooth coordination are important.

Beautiful venue but so disappointed in the climate control. The employee in charged showed up two…read morehours before the bride walked down the isle to turn on the A/C. It was incredibly hot and humid. The wedding started at 5:00pm and it was finally cool by 7:00pm. Totally unacceptable. It really ruined this important day.

If you have the chance to go with a member, be sure to take the opportunity to dine while you are visiting because their food is incredibly delicious. It may have been one of the best pieces of steak I have ever had in Utah and so perfectly prepared! The staff go above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience offered. Alpine Country Club is definitely a treat and a wonderful hidden gem.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I have been to two receptions at this venue and it was…read moreadequate although corners were cut with cheap chairs and a lot of people crammed into a small space. The reason for the review is that friends of mine received a communication from Castle Park informing them that they are still obligated to pay for the space in May 2020 even though we are in a worldwide pandemic. There is still no change in their stance 3 weeks later. I have included the letter to my friends. Read it and feel the outrage. Where is the good faith and humanity for this business? There were no other options offered. The date is cemented for them and payment for no services is expected. The circumstances are completely out of the clients' control. This is bad business. Find a different venue.

My daughter had a ceremony and wedding reception a week ago at Castle Park. We booked the Upper…read moreBallroom. We self catered so I cannot speak to their all inclusive package, but they were very clear with their various packages and individual add-on options. As we moved through the process from original booking to event, we had to make a few changes along the way. I found the venue to be responsive. Eric always got back to me within 24-48 hours with clear answers to my questions. On the day of the event everything was ready for us and went smoothly. The change over from ceremony to reception went well. When we had needs or questions, we followed their prescribed policy with our day of event coordinator (provided by us) and Castle Park immediately met our needs and answered our questions. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Everything here is top-notch quality…read more As I said in my previous review, I am just so impressed with this place. All the exhibits are wonderful. 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!

I loved this Aquarium, like all Aquariums there are different sections. This one was in…read morecontinents, there was the Asian section, South American section etc.. it was very cute. They had a lot of animals that isn't usually common to see at an Aquarium. I saw huge roaches (YEEUUCKKKK), they had a snow leopard, a Komodo dragon, sea otters and some more. Where the sea otters are it looked like the beautiful formation rocks in Utah. We had such a good time.

They made sure our daughters wedding went smoothly and were there to answer any questions. The kitchen is huge for the caterers, the outside is beautiful, there is plenty of parking, and the inside is very spacious. The bridal room upstairs is amazing and the grooms room is pretty sweet as well! We rented it out the whole day since we had our wedding luncheon and the reception there! We had plenty of space for a dance party and for people to sit and just enjoy themselves! The price is so reasonable and comparable to many other venues we've looked at! I would highly, HIGHLY recommend Magnolia to anyone!!
