Planning your visit

The Salt Lake City branch fills a specific gap: Utah's capital has strong outdoor attractions and a substantial family visitor base passing through toward the national parks and ski resorts, but comparatively little in the way of indoor entertainment downtown.

The exhibits are the brand's standard range — anti-gravity and tilted rooms, mirrored infinity chambers, holograms, stereograms and a vortex tunnel — with explanations of the perceptual mechanism at each station.

The Salt Lake climate makes this relevant twice over: high summer heat in the valley, and the winter inversions that trap cold air and pollution for weeks at a time, both of which push activity indoors.

It sits centrally, easy to combine with Temple Square or the Natural History Museum of Utah. Allow an hour. The main booking is an admission ticket. Current availability is listed below.
