Unfortunately, id probably say it's currently one of my least favorite activities at thanksgiving point. Probably due to the age of my kids. They are 2 and 4 , and don't quite enjoy themselves as much here like they do at the Jurassic jungle or the museum of natural curiosity. Even if you have younger kids though, it's still a decent place to spend part of your day, especially if you have the annual pass and want to change things up.

Such a fun day at the dinosaur museum! We visited the…read moreJurassic side (which was an additional cost) and it was totally worth it! The play area is huge, tons of space for the kids to run, jump, and just be wild. It was clean, well-maintained, and super engaging for little ones. On the museum side, there was so much to see and explore. My kids were fascinated by all the displays and interactive elements. They especially loved the sandpit with water and the dino dig zone! such a great mix of learning and play! Highly recommend for families looking for a fun, educational, and active day out. We'll definitely be back!

This is a beautiful Utah venue you must check out!…read more Ashton Gardens is a 50-acre botanical garden that has 15 themed gardens, such as the Italian, Rose, Fragrance, Secret gardens and the Tree of life sculpture garden. It has gorgeous waterfalls and beautiful walking pathways throughout. (Golf carts are available to rent as well) . Also, the beautiful Monet lake with koi fish. Ashton Gardens is known for their seasonal activities like Luminaria the light festival in November thru early January. The Tulip Festival is April - May, the Imaginaria Festival is in summer and the Scarecrow Festival is in October. There is the Trellis Café on site for a bite to eat, and during many of the festivals they have little shops that sell deserts, snacks, drinks, etc. There's a Greenhouse to buy cool plants in season as well. It's definitely a beautiful way to spend the day.

This place is a true gem if you want to enjoy nature; have an opportunity to walk through beautiful scenery or see wonderful spiritual exhibits!

Another great thing about this place is that it's totally free, so be sure to take a stop by!

I'd be interested to come back on a slower day, because it was difficult to be in charge of kids here during a very crowded, overstimulating, busy weekend. We came here for a birthday party on a Saturday afternoon and all of the kids were given a card to swipe on all the games. The points you won were automatically uploaded to the card. I was so nostalgic for when you used to get actual paper tickets at the arcade! This is not the case here, and probably most other places nowadays. The staff was friendly and the arcade itself was much cleaner than I was expecting. Some of the games weren't working and there wasn't any signage communicating that. The group of kids I was with LOVED the merry go round and the little rides catered to the smaller kiddos. Those games obviously don't accrue any points, but they did win some points and were able to pick up some prizes at the end. If you get overstimulated easily (like myself), this place probably isn't for you - lots of noises, lights, bright colors and carpeting. It is a fun place for families, and even with it being busy, we didn't ever have to wait long for the games we wanted to play. Would be interested to come back during the week when it's less busy!

What an awful experience. Don't hire underage staff if they aren't capable of doing their job. We…read morewere held under suspicion of ticket fraud like we were international drug criminals. The young lady scanned our cards, showed we had 1500+ tickets and when we asked to swap a prize her processor broke and shut down. The goons they had running that place went to watch security tapes for 30 minutes and still couldn't figure it out. They went to the game play history to see if it was possible to get this many tickets (which isn't even a lot). There was not a luck of common sense, customer service or kindness behind the desk at this dump. Wasted an hour of our night over 2 dollars worth of prizes. What a mess and an embarrassment.

Our four year old loved looking at what was in each machine and deciding what we should go for. If you've ever been to a Japanese arcade you'll recognize the setup. Prizes are frequently rearranged so you have a good chance of having something reachable and in a position to grab. They also let you trade up smaller prizes for larger prizes and have a good variety of things you can win.

The ability to purchase tickets online to avoid the need to wait in line was great and very easy to use. When we arrived, the staff scanned the QR code and we walked right in.

The exhibit itself has so many cool artifacts and I love the sets that they built for it, especially the "chilly" one! Great experience overall and recommended for anyone that loves titanic history!

I love the Titanic, the history, the conspiracies, and sure the movie too!…read more My kids had bought me this as a Christmas gift and it was a great experience. My daughters and I really enjoyed it. We even got a little emotional reading the list of names of those who did and didn't survive. On your ticket, you're given a name, as if you're a real passenger and near the end of the tour, you can see if you survived or not, along with a background story of who you are, family, and which class you were in. The pictures are expensive, so unfortunately we didn't buy any, but instead purchased a magnet from the gift shop. A lot of the artifacts are similar to what was or would have been on the titanic, but really from its sister ship The Olympic. The VR experience at the end is cool, nothing HD or high graphics, it made me a little nauseous, but still cool to experience. Definitely worth checking out for any Titanic enthusiast or history buff, or even just to kill some time. It's worth it!
