Plan to catch a choir rehearsal or concert if you can; the sound inside is amazing! Just check the schedule in advance because it can fill up quickly

Don't miss the beautiful reflections in the pool before the Temple. I think it's one of the best spots for those iconic shots!

If you're looking to save some cash, pack a picnic lunch! The gardens around the Temple are beautiful and perfect for a relaxing break.

I regretted not wearing comfy shoes. The grounds are larger than they seem, so wear something that'll keep you happy on your feet!

Check out the cafe for lunch, but I suggest bringing your own snacks too—prices can be a bit high and you don’t want to miss out on valuable exhibit time.

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 parking around 500 N State Street. It’s free and only a short walk to the Capitol. Save that cash for a nice meal afterwards!

I think weekdays are less crowded, so try to visit on a Tuesday or Wednesday for a more peaceful experience. I was there on a weekend - big mistake!

Bring a water bottle—it's easy to stay hydrated while checking out the beautiful grounds, and it'll save you a few bucks on drinks inside!

If you're into photography, aim to visit around 3 PM. The lighting on the Capitol's dome is amazing then! I got some stunning shots.

I suggest checking for any special events or exhibits online before you go. Sometimes they have really cool workshops or talks that you won’t want to miss.

The gift shop has some unique items that you won’t find elsewhere, but I recommend setting a spending limit before entering to avoid overspending on souvenirs.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes! The stone floors can be a bit harsh on the feet if you’re wandering around for too long.

I recommend visiting early around 9 AM to avoid the crowds and soak in the beauty all by yourself. It’s super peaceful then.

Bring your own snacks and drinks. There’s a café, but prices caught me off guard. I think it’s way more budget-friendly to pack a few goodies!

If your kids love playing and building, head straight to the Build City area. Other parents said it gets super busy, so hitting it first kept the little ones entertained without the wait.

Charles November 22, 2024

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!

If you can, grab a bite before heading there. They have a small café but it can get pricey and crowded. I think you’ll enjoy spending more time exploring than waiting in line for snacks!

Make sure to wear comfy shoes. There's a bunch of walking and some interactive exhibits, so you'll want to be ready to move around. Trust me, you'll thank me later

I highly recommend checking online for any special events or exhibits happening before you go. They occasionally have cool programs that you won't want to miss! I wish I had done that during my visit.

My advice is to grab tickets online to save a few bucks. I found a coupon code that helped me out, but I'd also recommend checking for package deals if you want a longer experience

If you're getting the VIP experience, I suggest doing it earlier in the night. You'll get to skip the lines and see more attractions without feeling rushed

Plan to spend at least two hours there. It's massive and if you want to take some cool pics and soak it all in, don't rush through!

i recommend visiting on a friday or saturday night if you want the full spooky experience, but be ready for long lines! weekdays are less crowded and you can enjoy the scares without as much wait time.

Check their social media for discount tickets or special promotions. I saved a few bucks that way. Plus, sometimes they have themed nights that are super fun.
