Top Museums in Salt Lake City

Don’t skip the top floor! The views of the mountains are breathtaking and there's some great info up there about Utah's ecosystems.

I recommend getting there right when it opens at 10 AM to beat the crowds. You can really enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed.

I suggest downloading the museum app for interactive maps and info—it really enriched my experience and helped me navigate efficiently!

If you're visiting on a Saturday, try to arrive right at opening time—weekends get packed quickly and parking fills up fast.

I recommend visiting on weekdays, especially Tuesday or Wednesday, when it tends to be less crowded. You’ll get to enjoy the exhibits with more space and time to explore, trust me.

Make sure to check out the museum's special events calendar before your visit. I stumbled upon a fun workshop that I almost missed, and it was a total highlight!

I suggest visiting on a Thursday afternoon when admission is free. I saved some bucks and it wasn’t crowded, so I really enjoyed the exhibits without feeling rushed.
