    Gold and Glitter Gala with my girls Justine and Jolene!
    Joycelyn C.

    I have gone to The Leonardo a few times now. The first time was years ago when they hosted the Dead Sea Scrolls. My husband and I both went and were in awe of the exhibit. Since then I have gotten to attend some after hours parties including Frightmare on 5th with Yelp and the Gold & Glitter Gala on NYE, just the other day. It was such a fancy party filled with sparkling cider, catered hors d'ouevres and activities for those in attendance. They also had a dj for us to jam out to on the dance floor and access to some of their exhibits. No doubt there were plenty of photo ops too! My girlfriends and I had a blast, and felt so gorgeous on the red carpet. I love that The Leonardo hosts not only amazing exhibits, but fabulous parties as well!

    Today's visit to The Leo was courtesy of the Connect Pass I purchased during my short vacation to SLC. While I agree with other reviews that the museum can seem a bit underwhelming - particularly given DaVinci's genius in multiple disciplines - I was blown away by how much I enjoyed the AI show. It takes place in the Idea Room and I just could not sit idly during it. You have to get up, move around, look about and take pictures. Given the prevalence of AI in our world now, it also gave me quite a bit of food for thought. Very friendly staff and a pleasant enough way to spend a couple of hours during vacation.

    Just wish there was more. My kids enjoyed the flight simulator and the art area on the second floor. I wish that the beautiful white lifelike things would have actually been functioning properly. I think the concept was cool just would have been nice to see it in action. Also the video in the large room was having issues. Overall I would go again if in the area.

    This was such a disappointment. They charge $16 per adult and $10 per child/student. At one time, this may have been a cool place, but it is old, tired and much is now broken and unusable. Whoever is running his place ran it into the ground. The cost is very high for a few old and terrible displays with many broken monitors and projectors. The water discovery room was literally a huge empty room with about 10 photos on the walls of people playing in water. Our family of 6 was bored to death here. Save your money and find a better spot like Thanksgiving point museums, Dream Walk in Orem, or even Clarke Planetarium or the zoo. Whoever is running the Leonardo should be ashamed of themselves for taking money for that broken old run down place.

    If you want a watered down museum, this is it. It's a Science museum, a few historical tid bits and various work stations. I was hoping for a traditional museum and a proper walk-thru. As an adult I was entertained for a brief moment. I'm sure as a kid, this place would be great. My nephews were working that piano though. I liked the huge Lego station though. Overall, I wouldn't return, unless the nephews wanted to come back.

    I love the Leonardo! It is one of my favorite museums that I've been to. Salt Lake has some really really good museums and this one changes exhibits and is super modern, really fun, and a joy for anyone interested in learning and currently they have a flight exhibits and are all about that which is really neat. They always have interactive exhibits that make it fun and engaging for anyone of any age.

    Great museum for kids! They have a lot of different stations for kids to see and participate in. Upstairs art area was a favorite.

    Nice flight exhibit that was opened at the museum. The admission right now because of COVID is $5 per person which isn't bad just wish they had all the other floors opened but due to the pandemic only the first floor is open at the moment. Staff is friendly and many interactive activities for kids and adults.

    Where do you go with an energetic twelve year old with an engineering mind? I'd highly advise you check out the Leonardo-it won't disappoint! There are so many wonderful hands-on exhibits that will entertain youngsters as well as adults. (Check out my wife playing along as if she were twelve herself!) There are staff members throughout the museum to help answer questions or encourage creativity. There were a few things that required some explanation, but overall it was easy to enjoy everything. I am strongly considering getting a family pass for Christmas so we can go back often-especially when there are special exhibits or events going on.

    This is a fabulous museum. But to be honest, I've never been there to look at the art. Although I have seen the big,obvious stuff in the walls and hanging from the ceilings. I've been there twice but both times were for special events that the Leonardo was hosting. One was a good tasting event (for Yelp Elite actually) and the other was for Ladies Spa Night benefiting The Underground Railroad. This is a great place to host these kinds of events because there is a lot of room! 3 floors! One of these days I will go back and actually look at the art on purpose.

    AC (alternating current) running half a million volts through the tower. Audience ate it up! Thanks Tesla!

    Came to the Leonardo to view the Body Exhibit, and was pleasantly surprised to learn that the general cost of admission was only $9 (half of the cost is covered by the church/charity in Salt Lake)! This museum is very interesting to run through, bringing back images of countless hours in bio, art, science, etc. - all rolled into one area! The Body Exhibit was definitely interesting, as you delve through the human biological makeup, and see the body dissected in such a way as to view the inner workings. A LOT of kids and families are present, and they end the exhibit with the process of 'preservation' that enables you to see the bodies in the exhibit. Oh, and the Tesla lighting was quite the treat as well! Half a million volts of alternating current run through an amplifier and humming the sound of its people to the diverse age mix in the audience. Last thing! If you come and buy a ticket, you also get 1 free admission ticket for another time!.. at least I did, so don't blame me if you don't. ;)

    As a venue, I can only give the highest of marks to the Salt Lake Hardware Building. Drop. Dead…read more Sexy. This old building has been totally and sleekly remodeled with homage to the past that respects the amazing bones of the building. One of my favorite buildings in the city. Perhaps my favorite part of the building is the rough hewn timber columns and joists that serve as the raw skeleton. Plenty of exposed brick walls also abound, and I'm completely charmed by the old spiral slide that used to shuttle manufactured goods from the upper floors all the way down. It's been preserved and gives incredible character to the space for weddings, parties, fundraisers and more. This is all coming from the point of view of an attendee; to date I've never worked with the fine folks behind the building and have only attended events in the space. They host some pretty remarkable events, so I've got to think they're on top of things. When they're not hosting events (and even when they are), the building is home to all kinds of offices from the tech to the more mundane. There's lots of parking on the north side of the building, which empties out rapidly at the end of business hours. The south side of the building is now nearly kissing a new bridge for Trax, so it's best to just turn in from the north and you can find parking further north or east. I always look forward to events at the SL Hardware Building. It's classy but still casual, convenient, and a stellar spot in SLC. Kudos to those who made the expensive decision to spruce it back up and honor the past. Well done!

I haven't dealt with the people behind Pierpont, but rather been to an event at Pierpont. So if I ever do plan an event here (which *ahem* I'd love to do) I'll be sure to fill in the deets from the other side. What I can say is that I really dig this space. Located on one of the most personality-filled streets in the city, it's just crawling with character. I'm unfamiliar with the history of the building, but would love to know the backstory. Now it's a beautiful, long and not so very narrow space with a high ceiling and windows all along the north end. It's not quite an industrial feel--it's nicer than all of that. But it's got a city vibe to it that's just kind of special. They host all kinds of events there. Tonight was a tasting event that showed off a simple decor, a few cocktail tables, a small raised stage, and some nice lighting. I would presume the kitchen facilities were adequate, as there were two chefs there preparing a couple small bites. The staff was great. On top of dish service, all smiles. I stuck around until after the official event hours were over, and it was fun to see the staff whip the place back into tidy shape while making plans for post-event mischief. Classy. I'm going with classy. A classy, unstuffy place to have an event.
