And it was a family friendly show. I can't wait to go to another one! If you have never been to an improv show before, it is basically like the tv show "Whose Line Is It Anyway". There was so much great talent! Highly recommend!

Run, do not walk, to see these comedy giants at work…read more I have seen a number of shows here and have laughed myself silly on each occasion. The show is never the same 2 weeks in a row. Never. The actors change, the games change, and funny changes. So let's be straight up honest, it is at 10:00 p.m. for a reason. They sometimes have an early show that is always family friendly. The later shows are still clean, but get a little PG-13 from time to time. Were it me, I'd leave the kids at home with grandma, and take my man out for a night of funny, in your face, comedy fun. The shows recently moved to the Midvale Performing Arts Center which has a great big stage for these comedians to play with. The teams are usually well matched in improv funny. Listen, it is a fun night. Run, do not walk, to laugh until your sides hurt!!

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've been to this venue many times and have always had a good experience. The biggest downside is…read moredefinitely the parking situation. Getting out of the parking lot can be a nightmare and can take an hour or more, so just be prepared for that! We've always had seats up front in the past, but this time we had lawn tickets. Honestly, the lawn wasn't too bad, especially since we rented the lawn chairs ($9 each). In my opinion, they're worth it! You can also bring your own blankets if you prefer. (They do make you shake out your blankets at security so don't try to hide anything in it!) We arrived pretty close to showtime, so we ended up sitting pretty far back. If you want a better spot on the lawn, definitely get there early. This was also our first time getting food here. There are quite a few options, and we decided to try the Mosh Burger. Unfortunately, it was pretty mid. It was $45 for two burgers and two fries, and the burgers had basically no flavor or toppings. Definitely not worth the price in my opinion, and I'd skip it next time. Overall, I still enjoy coming here for shows, the venue and staff are great, just be prepared for the parking and maybe eat beforehand!

Very good visit to the Amphitheatre last week as we were starting our journey seeing Zach Top…read more Great sound and the seats were excellent. We loved the minimally priced area to upgrade and to take advantage of the comfortable chairs and shade. I have not been to Salt Lake for a show, and I inquired about close hotels. I was quickly told none were close, so I just bought a parking pass and we stayed downtown at the Hampton Inn. The only thing that really bothered me were the people asking to see out tickets...this happened more than once. Besides opening 10 minutes late, the checkers at the front too SOOOOO long to check bags etc. Thank goodness Zack was tremendous as I was close to just 3 stars...but the music was incredible.

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.

We showed up about 20 minutes early so had to wait. That's on us. The meal was very pleasantly and…read moreelegantly served. Free drinks (if you don't want liquor), and five courses. First course was bacon-wrapped dates. Second was a delicious salad with champagne vinaigrette. Third was a sorbet palette cleanser. In our case passion fruit with lime zest. The entree is fourth course and is the only course that is different from person to person. The other courses differ from month to month but not per person. My wife had the Cornish Hen which she absolutely loved. It came with a romesco sauce. She said the Hen was perfectly seasoned throughout and kept talking about it. I had the chef's special, in this case duck breast. The chef came out and personally served me and was so happy I had the duck. Looking around, almost everyone else had the prime rib which looked fine but I guess cooking prime rib doesn't excite a chef the same way. My duck was spectacular. It came with a berry-butter-persimmon sauce and whole small carrots. There were truffle creamed potatoes as well, which I couldn't finish. The duck & carrots I polished off though. The chef informed us she had only been head chef for 5 months and was trying diligently to outdo the former chef which I approved. Periodically during the meal a talking head regaled us with abridged Edgar Allen Poe stories. Ended with a magic show in which practically everyone got involved, including both me & my wife. 10/10.

The over all story is about the life in a colony of insects that all interact with each other, and there is a bit of a love story to it as well. The comic routines by the "clowns" that tie the story together are hilarious as they provide great cover for the stage transitions. As for the acts themselves they are truly incredible feats. Starting with people juggling with their feet both of objects and each other and ending with some truly incredible gymnastics that features trampolines and a climbing wall the there is non stop action all the way through. Some of the most amazing things were the "butterflies" who were a couple that did a amazing suspension performance and the act that was basically a trapeze act without the trapeze. Also incredible was a slack line act that showcased some really amazing feats. As if riding a unicycle isn't hard enough, this guy was doing it upside down on a slack line. This show is well worth the money and is great entertainment for the whole family.
