I wanted to plan a spectacular date night, and Utah Flying Trapeze delivered. My fiance and I are…read moreboth afraid of heights, but this was SUCH a fun, supportive and wholly unique experience. It's surprising how little instruction is required - within about 15 minutes, we were climbing the ladder and jumping off the platform, swinging from the bar and transitioning to hang from our knees. (For a severe acrophobic like me, this was still terrifying, but completely safe. Everyone is attached to a safety harness, so even when you let go to drop to the net, they gently hoist you down.) The staff was extremely professional - seriously some of the coolest, nicest people I've ever met. Within our class size of seven, we each got about eight iterations of jumping and flying - everyone, ages 7 to 32, was able to do at least one of the tricks. I will say this is an activity where your fitness level dictates your overall experience. I'm definitely not at my peak, and while I was still able to participate, it was harder for me than the other students. Abdominal and upper-body strength aren't mandatory - but they help A LOT. (Two days later, my fiance and I feel sore EVERYWHERE... Never guessed it would be such a workout!) We also loved the environment, being indoors at the Olympic Oval in Kearns - you're right next to the ice rink, so you can go skating after, if you like. This isn't a cheap date/activity, but it's one you'll never forget! I can't wait to try it again.

I can't speak for the community/kids shows that they do here, but I do enjoy the occasional trip to…read moreQuick Wits. If improv ain't your thing, then it's probably best to stay away or come during the early evening for a straight up show. But Quick Wits has been at it for a while and depending on who's there it can be pretty entertaining. If you'll reach back to the recesses of your mind, you'll recall that this location used to be the Comedy Circuit. It's set up just like you'd expect a comedy club turned theater would be. And sure, it's had shinier days, but they do continue to light the marquee out front and since becoming Midvale Main Street Theater a few years back it's in good repair. Parking is on the street (perhaps in back? Don't quote me on that one) and I'm a fan of old Midvale Main. It's not the hip hop happenin' place it could be, but it's a unique place to grab some laughs.

I was super excited when someone offered me a Pitbull ticket. Not only cause I would get to see…read morePitbull, but also cause I've always wanted to check out this venue. Getting there was a little rough. I came in from the mountain corridor side, and it was a very slow moving line to get in, so I'd plan on getting there early. Because I was a little later, I ended up in the Camry lot. This lot is up a hill so the walk back was a hike, but because of its location, it does allow for a quick getaway instead of being stuck in the lower closer lots waiting for the people to walk through and for all the other cars. Even with the long walk, I got out of the venue before most people and was able to quickly get back on the Mountain View corridor. The amphitheater itself is stunning. I love the general admission grass section. The views of the city and sunset were beautiful. Amazing vibes. The security here is INTENSE about bags. I had a small clutch which is allowed and they look out EVERYTHING that I had in it. Like she literally went through every single pocket. The food options are extremely limited and it is a Pepsi venue. I needed to eat so I got a Pepsi zero (they only had Diet Pepsi in one fridge and it was for a line that didn't sell food) and a personal size pepperoni pizza and it came out to THIRTY DOLLARS??? You're joking. The pizza was just okay. The people in front of me got two tall cans of liquid death water and it was $16. A tall can of water for $8 on a hot night is criminal, but I guess they can do what they want since there is no other option. Overall, I would recommend going to a show here. The vibes are super fun and everyone was dancing. The views are beautiful and the grassy section is lovely. I would just recommend eating beforehand and planning to spend a lot if you do end up buying any food or beverages. Oh and of course Pitbull was amazing and totally killed it.

Would come back again to enjoy a show .

Move over, Hale & Eccles, there's another performing arts venue and it's pretty darn impressive!…read moreIt's located centrally in Taylorsville, hence the Mid-Valley name. It's easy to get to regardless of where you live in the valley-something that downtown can't boast. I visited to watch a ballroom performance (which was phenomenal, by the way) and was impressed by the layout and design of the building. The theater itself had two tiers, including box seating on the sides. The sound was impressive, and the seats were comfortable with good views all around. I'll keep an eye on this one to see what other performances are on the calendar. I'm looking forward to returning!

We wanted to take advantage of the beautiful early June weather and found the Conservation Garden…read morePark just a few miles from our lunch spot. The first amazing surprise is there was no entry fee! We entered the garden and quickly ran into another surprise- a human-sized chess board! My boys wanted to play a game against each other...didn't know it was going to take 45mins...but it was fun to sit and watch and listen to the birds chirping. We then continued our tour around the grounds and saw many wonderful plants, trees, bushes, flowers and more. The grounds are beautifully manicured! There some educational areas where you can learn more about irrigation, landscaping and design. To walk around the garden takes about 30mins, but we spent 1.5hrs here as we took a lot of pictures and asked some questions from the workers. The workers and volunteers were very gracious to answer our questions and teach us more about the garden. You can tell they love their job and they love visitors. At the end of the tour, I made sure to drop a little cash in their donation box. Thanks Conservation Garden Park for the great time!

They have great visual exhibits, labelling placards, and fun interactive activities. 10/10 worth the stop, and I can't believe this place is free to the public. We stopped in here to take some casual iPhone photos as a family since we don't see eachother everyday. (Photography requires a $10 pass) It was the perfect backdrop for what we were doing, and we had a great time exploring the gardens through the park along the way.

As a casual date night type thing this place is a bit expensive. That being said, this place is great. It is fun, a wonderful 5 course dinner. The food was excellent.

The magician was very good and kept people engaged and entertained. We had fun.

The dining room is very pretty when decorated for Christmas. I did not feel like it was crowded at all and I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. No need to pay more for VIP. The food was very mid. We enjoyed the appetizer. But from there, most of us weren't too impressed. That being said the portions were generous. There was only one server to do everything for the entire room and he did a pretty good job keeping up. they do say that gratuity is included, but then ask for more money at the end. The magician John ACordo was quite funny. Part magic part comedy. He kept the show moving, and it was a very good length and he had us stumped. They often run specials. So watch for deals. a good event or a date night. No alcohol.
