Welcome to Utah — Where Grown-Ups Get to Be Kids Again!
Like any city growing faster than a teenager on energy drinks, Salt Lake has its quirks. But one thing it doesn’t have? Trash. Seriously — this is one of the cleanest cities in the U.S. You’ll notice it the second you step outside. Pair that with a relatively low crime rate and friendly locals, and you’ve got a downtown that’s not just walkable — it’s actually enjoyable.
Tourist areas, restaurants, and the downtown core are generally safe, especially during the day. And when you ride with Magon Luxury Rides, you’re in great hands. We know where to go, when to go, and how to keep your experience smooth, classy, and totally stress-free.
Salt Lake is basically one big science-loving, animal-hugging, imagination-sparking playground. Whether your kid is into dinosaurs or spaceships, we’ve got ’em covered:
Hogle Zoo – Over 800 animals doing their best “Wildlife Instagram” poses. Giraffes, tigers, and probably a monkey judging your snack choices. Tracy Aviary & Liberty Park – Birds, boats, and slides. Bonus: squirrels that think they own the place.
Discovery Gateway Children’s Museum – Where your kids can touch everything and you don’t have to stop them. A parenting win.Clark Planetarium – Rocket ships, space dust, and mind-blowing IMAX shows. NASA vibes without the G-force.Natural History Museum of Utah – Giant dinos, shiny rocks, and exhibits that make adults say “whoa” just as often as the kids.
Romance in the Rockies
Whether it’s a first date or your 40th anniversary, Salt Lake knows how to turn on the charm. Warning: may cause hand-holding and excessive selfie-taking.Ensign Peak at Sunset – A short hike with jaw-dropping views. Basically nature’s version of mood lighting.Red Butte Garden – Flowers, fountains, and a vibe that says “let’s get matching sunhats and move here.”
Dinner & a Show Downtown – Start at The Copper Onion or Valter’s Osteria (chef’s kiss), then catch a show at the glamorous Eccles Theater.
Park City Day Trip – Ski bunnies in winter, chairlift flirts in summer. 35 minutes away. Bring your sense of adventure (and your puffy jacket).
Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride – It’s seasonal and delightfully cheesy. Just lean into the Hallmark movie vibe, okay?
Thrill-Seekers, This Is Your Playground
If “sit still and relax” makes you twitchy, welcome home. Salt Lake serves up adventure with a side of adrenaline.
Hiking & Biking – From chill strolls to trails that make your calves cry happy tears. Big & Little Cottonwood Canyons are your go-to.
Skiing & Snowboarding – Resorts like Snowbird, Alta, and Solitude are 30–45 minutes away. Powder days are basically holidays here.
Great Salt Lake & Antelope Island – Bison, birds, and sunsets that could convert your phone to landscape-only mode.
Rock Climbing – Whether you’re a mountain goat or a total newbie, the granite in Little Cottonwood Canyon or gyms like Momentum will keep you clinging for joy.
Bonneville Salt Flats – Ever wanted to drive where speed records are broken or take a pic that looks like Mars? Here’s your chance.
Up, Up & Away!
Because the ground is so last season, try:
•Skydiving – Strap in and scream joyfully while falling at terminal velocity.
•Paragliding – Float like a bird with a GoPro and a heart full of “did I really just do that?”
•Hot Air Balloon Rides – Romantic, peaceful, and ideal for folks who want to soar — but also sip champagne while doing it.
Salt Lake City: come for the mountains, stay for the magic — and maybe a moose sighting or two.
