    I had a good time there. The staff was friendly, and I got a kick out of the dinosaur skull!

    We made a point to stop here on our RV trip from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Ogden, Utah so we could see…read moreFort Bridger. It was a Thursday when we arrived in town so it wasn't too busy yet with weekend tourism. We stayed nearby at the RV park and chose to drive over to the site. It was however close enough to walk if we wanted to. There was no one located near the parking lot to take our entrance fee, and a message was listed at the story board to check in and pay at the gift shop. You cannot drive through the fort, but you must walk from the parking lot through the property to see all the displays. We started walking around the site near the entrance and visited several buildings. You can walk around on your own and read the story boards located near each structure, bridge, or grassed area that details the significance of the item to the fort and it's operation. As we were just starting out walking around, it started to rain and we were unable to continue our trip. We did not make it back to the rear of the site or to the gift shop due to the rain. Since we were only there around 10-15 minutes, we wanted to spend more time on another visit so we will definitely be back again. Also, we could see from the bridge area that they had a very moving display of flags set up for a 9/11 Memorial. Very nice.

The fort takes up…read moremuch of the outdoor displays including parade grounds, officer quarters, commissary, etc. One area is dedicated to the Bridger family property who ran the Trading post. This area includes a well, ice house, wash house and other out buildings. Many of the buildings have plexi-glass at the doors and windows that you look in during our visit. We were able to enter the Commanding Officers home, Bachelor Officer Quarters, the Museum and the trading post. A wooden walkway or concrete pathways make the property mostly wheelchair accessible. The trading post is across grass, gravel and a wooden bridge. A couple of signs near the Bridger property have braille. We spent a couple of hours on property and could have spent more. All staff were friendly. Plenty of local and national history. Parking is a dirt lot. Three RV's were parked long way next to the concrete stops when we arrived while cars parked head-in. Entry is eight dollars non-resident plus 3% credit card fee. Four dollars for state residents.

    This place is seriously SO COOL! We visited for the first time and had an absolute blast. There is…read moreso much to explore, and it's incredibly well set up for little kids. 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!

    We are new to Utah and have had a Thanksgiving Point membership since December. My husband and…read moredaughter have been to the museum during spring break and loved it but before but today this was my first time bringing my daughter. Within 5 minutes I was ready to go home! The amount of unruly older aged kids running amok pushing and shoving younger kids to play hide & seek was absolutely obnoxious!!! Throwing legos and plastic balls throughout the museum without anyone stopping them parents or staff was totally uncalled for and now I know why barely anything works here. I'm thankful I didn't pay admission fees because I would be sorely disappointed in tear my money paid for. The reviews and photos online make this place out to be so much better than our experience today. The Children's museum downtown is, not only cleaner, it's more taken care of & supervised by staff way better than this museum. It's like adults dropped off their middle school kids and left them unsupervised.

    We did the "duo quest" which was $99 for 2 encounters, 20 tokens and admission to the aquarium. The…read moreencounters and the person who led them for us was the best part. She was super knowledgeable, kind and generous with her time. Some of the enclosures seem far too small and kinda dirty. It felt kinda like a money grab. There is token slots everywhere you turn to take money for feeding the animals. I can see the interactive aspect, but it would be very expensive for a family to come here if they want to feed multiple animals considering each token is $2. The place was also very hot and had an odd smell. Tight quarters. It was a fun one time experience.

    First off - shoutout to Natalia who gave us the best experience possible for our first time visit…read more When my fiance and I bought these tickets, we had no idea that we would be driving into a mall parking lot... This led us to be so confused with whether we input the right directions. However, on the building of the mall in front of the food court, you see "SeaQuest". Yep - we're in the right place... Once you walk in the mall, you pass the 90s looking food court and head downstairs below the food court to find the entrance of SeaQuest past a small playground for kids. At the register, we were greeted by a kind worker manning the check-in desk, Natalia. She was so amazing! She gave us the low-down on what to expect and even gave us a few extra tokens to use to feed the animals. Honestly, we had the best experience possible because of Natalia. We ended up having the full experience of feeding the otters, hanging out with the cats, and even the porcupine (quillio) and prairie dogs (blossom, bubbles, and buttercup)! Literally, SeaQuest was my major highlight of the trip to Utah! We could not believe the different kinds of animals they had in such a small setting, which of course from an outside perspective, you feel really bad that these animals are "entrapped" or living in such an enclosed space, but it's almost like you can see that the animals might actually enjoy living in there. Lol, probably because they're getting fed majority of the day, but the caretakers seem to be pretty good at spacing out meals for them. When you first walk in, it was almost alarming to the point of feeling like there are a number of safety hazards/concerns for both the animals and patrons. The glass for the aquariums are so low that people can stick their hands in (which is apparently totally ok to do for most aquariums). Some animals like the iguanas are totally hanging almost outside of their open cages for people to pet. You can also just hop into the tortoise's enclosure to say hi. So crazy. There are so many crazy kids running around, so I honestly feel worried about the animals getting hurt and bombarded on the daily, but what I love about this place is its uniqueness and mission to educate the masses. These animals are very well adapted to humans and seem to have very good caretakers, so that part was reassuring. Oh also, the little doctor fish that exfoliate your hands was the coolest! Free manicure with your entry, hehe!
