If you really know what Utah has to offer (not just in and around Salt Lake City), there is tons to see and do. Several national parks, lakes and reservoirs for fishing and boating , skiing and snowmobiling, world class rock crawling, plenty of awesome places to go hiking. The biggest problem with it is all the time and money to do it all.
Utah is an incredibly well kept secret. :D People are always blown away when they come to visit, be it outdoors stuff, or the city stuff we kind of have it all. Summer, winter, UT is fun.
Red Butte Garden, 7 peaks, Top Golf, Dimple Dell Golf (or any of them), Hoogle Zoo, Immigration Canyon, Lee Kay or PMAA outdoor Shooting Range, Bountiful Pond for Fishing, Any Cottonwood Ski Resort/alpine sledding/mountain biking, Rocky Mountain Race Way, Vivint Arena (Jazz), Maverick Arena (hockey), Bees Baseball, Any of the theaters Salt Lake has a million fun things to do.
Temple Square has beautiful Christmas lights on the winter. It's a spectacle (and busy) every year with performances and free hot chocolate! It's fun to just wander
@@larryhinze8658 you can always just say "I'm not interested, please don't disturb me" and if they don't leave "you're being rude right now and ruining my time here please go away." But nicely you know. But I've never experience something like that before unless you're striking conversation with someone there. If you're missing you're own business and taking pictures with your friends and family most would leave you alone. But that my cup of tea i don't know other experiences
The trick is to get outside of Salt Lake and head down to the desert such as Zion & Moab. So many amazing hikes & camping areas. I have some videos on my channel of all the places in the Utah desert.
In Early September, they also have an amazing Greek Festival across the street from Caputo's! It's great! Lots of cultural dancing, a fun gift shop and AMAZING FOOD!
Great list, I'm actually happy there aren't any religious debates in the comment section, this is the first Utah related video that doesn't have offensive negative comments

i worked there for a year. you have no idea what goes on behind the counter... or in the alley between that building and 7-eleven. Lets just say you can't take out trash without hearing crunches under your feet, and you dont shine a light down at the cement for fear of permanent psychological damage.
The live theater scene in SLC is amazing as well. Any night of the week (except Sunday) you can find small and large theaters all across the valley and there is always something interesting playing. There are many price points but all are high quality.
Just don't order the orange juice. It tastes great as it is fresh squeezed, but also $8 a glass!!! I ordered it before looking at the menu. The chicken and waffles are great as well as many other things.
Even as a Salt Lake native, there were a few things on here that I didn't know about like the sculptures. I'll have to check it out! Also, as a filmmaker, awesome job on the video, content-wise AND shot-wise.
I think the planetarium in SLC is a great place to go. You can learn about the solar system and universe in different fun ways and there is even a movie theater there
I have only been to Salt Lake City a few times, and I loved every second of it. Personally, I really liked the City Creek shopping center. Super fun, and really clean and nice to walk around in.
I went just this summer in May on a mission trip from Oklahoma! It was a great experience and we went to Antelope Island, temple square,hiking, and went and played in snow in the little snowbird center it’s very beautiful up there!
Don’t forget to go to lagoon, it is about 40 minutes from Salt Lake City , you should definitely go on cannibal, but it’s quite expensive (but a lot cheaper than Disney) 45$ per ticket and all of the merchandise, and food is overprice ( I would know I worked there, oh and it starts in late spring, and then closes after Halloween
The zoo is pretty cool. Memory Grove is nice, The Jazz, and the Gateway with the fountain and 2002 Olympic volunteers names on the walls are a nice nod to things as well.
Leaving for SLC this afternoon, and this is the best travel guide I've found! You get straight to the point and focus on the most accessible spots in the city, which is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for keeping the emphasis on the city itself!
Michael Fusciardi skip a few of these. The Gilgal Sculpture Garden is always on lists, but it’s not a cool part of Salt Lake-you really don’t need to see it, it’s not important. I have lived here for 12 years, and I’ve never met anyone who’s been there. Same with the “victim of the beast” grave. But do go see the Capitol Building, the Museum of Natural History, Temple Square, the library, City Creek, and Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons. They’re actually cool. Antelope Island has some of the coolest spiders you’ve ever seen-even I think it’s cool, and I hate spiders! Red Iguana is eh. It’s okay, but it’s not the best. Eva’s Bakery has a cool vibe, but the food isn’t that good. I’ve never been to Caputo’s or Avenues Proper, so I can’t help you there, but Hatch Family Chocolates is next to my doctor’s office, and it makes it fun to see my cancer doctor. Hatch Family Chocolates is the best!!
I know this video is older but one thing to mention is, how modern this place is becoming and all the fun things to do here. Most of Hollywood loves this place; hundreds of movies/shows were filmed here, are currently being filmed here, many actors live here or have winter homes, Post Malone just moved here, Modern Family's Ty Burell owns the bar, The Green Pig, downtown. Most of SoCal and Vegas are movie here due to high number of jobs and the booming housing market.
These are fine places to see. I grew up in Salt Lake and spent my first 30 years there. Might I recommend some sites as well. 1: the copper mine in the western mountains. 2: Snowbird ski resort in the summer and take the tram to the top. 3: Park City and the US Ski teams practice facilities.4: Iceberg drive in and get a shake.5: the soup kitchen in sugerhouse
ensign peak is a hike with a better view of the city if that’s what you’re looking for in a hike as it’s right behind the capitol. it’s about 45 mins each way and pretty steep but totally worth it. i recommend going at nighttime or sunset to see the city lights. if you want a more natural view, literally any canyon in the state has fantastic hikes with awesome views
The one time I've done that hike, we watched as some guy and his friends schlepped an entire dining room up to the top and set up a table and small kitchen so he could do a sunset meal for his girlfriend and propose to her. We didn't stick around to see the result, but hopefully she said yes. Truly though, the view from there is unbeatable as the sun goes down and the city lights up.
tA tour of Welfare Square is very interesting. It's free. A van will pick you up and take you there and back. The van is just outside the west entrance to Temple Square. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir practice session is definitely worth the time to see.
Dude where have I been?! I don't even know half these places 😭 I go to slc like every week and only know in and out 😂but thanks so much for the video, definitely gonna look into all this.
You really should expand this list. You left out Hogle Zoo, LAGOON Amusement park, the Kennicott Copper Mine, the Aquarium, and the Planetarium, Timpanogos Cave... Plus the Children's museum for those with young children.
This is true. If one wants to take the drive out to Antelope Island these places are just as far and easy to get to. I've been going to Lagoon since I was a kid, it has its charm.
You missed Squatters Pub, and The Pie, best pizza in the world. The University of Utah is also worth a visit. The light rail around the city is also easy to get around.
being a person living in salt lake city Fillings and emulsions is an AMAZING dessert bar with a famous chef who changes it up every season and makes the most amazing desserts 10/10 must try
If you have time go to heber and stop at Dairy Keen. There’s trains that run around the entire establishment, like toy ones. And the ice cream is so good! It’s very fun. Also Artic Circle is a must stop! Fry Sauce is Utah’s liquid gold
Live in Utah most of life let me tell everyone something its peaceful beautiful not boring. I live in a difrent country now and I miss the peacefulness like no other.
@@Man12354 How does the copper mine pollute the city? Are they dumping slag in the streets of SLC? The air pollution from processing the copper slag is a fraction of the pollution from cars.
As a Utahn I highly recommend seeing Antelope Island and the Great Salt Lake before the Lake recedes more. As someone who lives in the city that antelope Dr passes through, I can drive down to Antelope Island anytime and visit the reserve. I recommend going to the little mini history\observing buildings that you find once you enter the island. You can see all sorts of cool facts about brine shrimp and the Great salt Lake. You can also look through viewing windows where birds will sit and eat feed. Some are birds you may never see again in your life! I also recommend Zion's National Park down by Hurricane and St. George. It's an amazing national park and its absolutely beautiful. (I know this doesn't relate to Salt Lake City but it's a great thing)
Great advice and nice shots of SLC! I would recommend Ruth’s diner in Emigration Canyon too. With a beautiful, tree-covered dining area it’s great and cool even in summer. If you want to feel that Prohibition vibe head to Bar X! It has everything from lighting to great cocktails to bring you back to that era of underground bars. Very nice place. Regarding Red Iguana it’s almost impossible without a reservation but it’s definitely great! Lastly I would recommend regrouping downtown activities together as they are usually pretty short. Can be done in one day! Then you could head to Park City for other cool stuff a gorgeous views. Cheers from Salt Lake City!
A locals secret about the Red Iguana..... there are 2 of them. Often the line outside the original Red Iguana on North Temple is an hour or longer, but of course it is still worth the wait! However, if you want the same killer Mexican food in less cramped quarters, Red Iquana II is just a block south @ 866 W South Temple and I've never had to wait in line to get in! (It's quieter inside as well, which is why I prefer it over the original Red Iquana.)
Holy mackerel 😳😲 simply breathtaking doesn’t look real more like a painting so many colors can’t imagine 🤷♂️🙋♂️😔 even doing nothing must be peaceful and like heaven relaxing calming in whatever work or thing your doing it’s balance dang
Man. I was excited to see this video, but finishing with Oh Mai brings tears to my eyes. I loved their Bahn Mi and Pho. I was also a huge fan of Lucky 13 by the baseball stadium, Real Salt Lake games, and going up the trolley at Snow Bird. But this list, while I didn’t partake of all 22 things, I did greatly appreciate it. I lived in Utah for 7 years, nearly 2 of them just south of downtown SLC, so I know all too well the places and things you discussed here. Thanks for sharing!
I didn't see anyone suggesting Ensign Peak. Great little hike for even young kids. That has a beautiful view of the city as well. People go up there to watch the sunrise in the early mornings.
Not technically in Salt Lake City, but you need to add the Livingston Aquarium and Thanksgiving Point to this list. Two of the most amazing places in the country.
The salt lake city library is where my graduation ceremony is going to take place. You might ask why a Utahn is watching this video. Although i have been to many of these places i have never heard of some of them. I was curious about what places where on this list
Omg !! Do a video on park city utah ❤️ that’s where I’m at and wanna see what you come up with. Awesome video. It’s about 20 mins from Salt Lake City 🌃
Can't afford it. But there are some good places to eat there if you ask the locals..Just for fun (Yuks and Giggles..) ruclips.net/video/LjxdVVIje8c/видео.html
This is awesome!!!! I fell in love with your other channel, California through my lens, and it gets me so excited that you have another channel for other amazing places! Thanks so much for all of the inspiration through the years. So stoked to have found this.
Lagoon is a lot of fun. It has been a long time since I worked there as a teenager. Just remember that it will probably be really hot so bring plenty of sunscreen and drink a lot of water. One fun thing to do on the Colossus is to push your head back in the seat when you go in the loop and you blackout. You can ride it many times in a row usually right before closing.
I love the Red Iguana that's definitely one of the many great places the Blue Iguana is pretty good too but the red one is a little better and always busy
Trolly Square is a spot worth mentioning... it's the old station for the street cars used in SLC many years ago. Now it's an eclectic shopping mall with one of my favorite restaurants... The Old Spaghetti Factory established right around 1974. The Desert Edge brew pub in Trolley is a fun place to chill too! Oh, and there is a Rodesio's Brazilian steak restaurant there as well.
Dawg your crazzzzyyy!!!! The fishing here is GREAT not to mention all the badass camping spots and bars bro! Yall think were some mormon city slickers.. But you dont know nothing about SLC, damn CITY BOYS..
Seriously, Ut, let's not mention the fishing. Okay, the Green River (about a 4 hour drive) is magnificent; the places closer are already over-crowded at times. From now until the 4th of July the rivers will all be pretty high except for the tailwaters...
Fishing? Where? Mantua 50 miles north of SLC? Not much fishing in the Wasatch Front valley itself. There is the Jordon River, and a couple small ponds but they're polluted. The fishing is not great in and around Salt Lake City. Fish is very limited and expensive if you want to eat some.
Since the late 90's I've always wanted to go to The Roof on the 10th floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. We finally got to go for Valentines Day 2018. The Food was AMAZING! It's not cheap ($50 per person) but the selection was the best I've ever seen in a Buffet and of course, ALL YOU CAN EAT.
Lived there most of my life and intend on returning one day. This video was spot-on, nice work! It's a great video to show all of my East Coast people who have perceptions of Utah that I know are incorrect.
It makes me to happy to hear someone talk highly of my home state. Not many people think its great here but i love it so much.

Really? I like it here, except for the church running the government and their wacky beliefs.

This list sounds better
Temple Square has beautiful Christmas lights on the winter. It's a spectacle (and busy) every year with performances and free hot chocolate! It's fun to just wander
I've worked as part of the hot chocolate line, and they've risen the price up to a dollar last year.
Sugar Park too
YASSS I go there every year!
Oh yea, and everyone tries to convert you and says ARE YOU ONE OF US?

It’s a city for Mormons by Mormons, if you’re not into the culture then it’s difficult
Go to Lucky Slice! And I know a great Bar-b-q in Ogden

Ewwwwww. I hate cockroaches.
@@burntthetoast needles and coackroaches?
agreed. surprised it didn't make the list.
Cotton bottom inn. Lucky 13. If you are over the age of 21 these two pubs have thee best burgers in SLC
Rich's Mac and Cheese burger is one of the best I've ever had as well.
Lucky 13!!!!! Definitely!!!! Best burgers of all time!
Jalapeno Popper burger awesome!
Lucky 13 is really good, their peanut butter burger is really tasty
Proper Burger & Hires aren't bad either.
Antelope Island was my favorite spot as well. It took my breath away!
The live theater scene in SLC is amazing as well. Any night of the week (except Sunday) you can find small and large theaters all across the valley and there is always something interesting playing. There are many price points but all are high quality.
Don't forget free concerts at the Gallivan Center.
City Creek Canyon, right next to the capitol and a couple of blocks from downtown. A jewell!
i LOVE slc Pig in a Jelly Jar is awesome. SLC has amazing breakfast places
I found that place last time I visited.
Just don't order the orange juice. It tastes great as it is fresh squeezed, but also $8 a glass!!! I ordered it before looking at the menu. The chicken and waffles are great as well as many other things.
Pig in a Jelly? Isn't that here in Ogden?
Even as a Salt Lake native, there were a few things on here that I didn't know about like the sculptures. I'll have to check it out! Also, as a filmmaker, awesome job on the video, content-wise AND shot-wise.
Thanks, really appreciate that!
Gilgal park is small and intimate. Worth the time to find it and visit it.
I love Caputos I'm so glad you added this one super delicious Italian sandwiches & salads yummmmmmy
Also Ruth’s Diner up Parley’s Canyon. Some nights they have fantastic barbecue and live music.
I'm visiting Salt Lake City in June this year from New Zealand so this video is perfect, thanks :)
I think the planetarium in SLC is a great place to go. You can learn about the solar system and universe in different fun ways and there is even a movie theater there
Not to mention it's in a mall, theres lots of places to go there even the fountains! It's called the gateway mall!
Cafe Rio was started in Utah..
And Costa Vida
I eat once a week in Cafe Rio
And KFC
Most white washed lame excuse of a Mexican restaurant you act like this is surprising 😂
Cool, but I’m more of a costa Vida guy
When I was in elementary school, we went on monthly field trips to the history museum, it is an unforgettable experience.
I have only been to Salt Lake City a few times, and I loved every second of it. Personally, I really liked the City Creek shopping center. Super fun, and really clean and nice to walk around in.

Greetings from Romania! 🇷🇴🇺🇲
I hope you had a great time!
What a great list!! I had no idea KFC was started there- and that library is breathtaking!! Thanks!!
A must eat: Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana! And next-door is Capo Gelateria! Yumm!!
Address?
@@kaylahall1219 Settebello, 260 S 200 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84101
That gelato place is awesome.
I love that place, having an ice cream place right next door without having to go outside to get in is just perfect
Excellent as always. A winter one would be rad.
Moochies and penny Anne's cafe are amazing
Moochies isn't what it was back in 2009-2010.
and Anne's cafe is amazing food.
I am from Philly and Moochies is definitely authentic Philly cheese steak.
Philadelphian in Sandy is way better
I'm moving to salt lake City for college in September this year thanks for showing me some good spots to check out
Congrats on you college acceptance! I could add more to your list if you would like. Also, they feed the fish at the mall Saturday morning at 10 am. 😁

Red Rock (brewery) is one of my favs. Also The Other Place for Greek food run by a Greek family. Delish!
Manoli's is a must for Greek food!
The Other Place has the best greek salad I've ever had.
Leatherbys is such a good place to eat! amazing ice cream!
yep, really good Ice Cream and food
A great "hidden" canyon is Neffs Canyon! awesome views and there is a rope swing at the top!
also apparently has a cave system in it lol, however was sealed off due to it's instability
Gracias por enseñar un poco más de esa bella ciudad…
Caputos is good but the best sandwich is Grove's Market... only open for lunch and there is a great hot sauce section and it been around forever.
His guy was great, loved his passion and info
The zoo is pretty cool. Memory Grove is nice, The Jazz, and the Gateway with the fountain and 2002 Olympic volunteers names on the walls are a nice nod to things as well.
Yay!! The cathedral made it in!!❤️
The cathedral is a beautiful jewel.
For food I would suggest - Red Iguana, Moochies, Kabob Stop, Bombay House, Bruges Waffles & Frites, Crown Burger, and Cafe Rio.
Crown burger ❤❤
And Spitz or Tuccis 💕
SB ESPN cafe rio isn’t specific to Utah though.
True it started in Utah in the 90's so I always think of it as local, but you're right they've expanded to a lot of different states now.
I love Warrens because of their fries and fry sauce
Great video, Salt Lake is such a rad little city!

Except the visitors center has been closed for almost 6 years. They had a landslide that too it out.
Oh, I thought this video was about Salt Lake City!
thats definitely not in SLC tho. for Utah in general I would totally agree tho
Yeah it’s a treat thing to show people how copper mining is polluting the entire city that’s something to be super proud of.

I also recommend Zion's National Park down by Hurricane and St. George. It's an amazing national park and its absolutely beautiful. (I know this doesn't relate to Salt Lake City but it's a great thing)
Thanks for the recommendations! Look forward to checking them out.. great video
Great advice and nice shots of SLC!
I would recommend Ruth’s diner in Emigration Canyon too. With a beautiful, tree-covered dining area it’s great and cool even in summer.
If you want to feel that Prohibition vibe head to Bar X! It has everything from lighting to great cocktails to bring you back to that era of underground bars. Very nice place.
Regarding Red Iguana it’s almost impossible without a reservation but it’s definitely great!
Lastly I would recommend regrouping downtown activities together as they are usually pretty short. Can be done in one day! Then you could head to Park City for other cool stuff a gorgeous views.
Cheers from Salt Lake City!
Thibaud Capra also blue plate
A locals secret about the Red Iguana..... there are 2 of them. Often the line outside the original Red Iguana on North Temple is an hour or longer, but of course it is still worth the wait! However, if you want the same killer Mexican food in less cramped quarters, Red Iquana II is just a block south @ 866 W South Temple and I've never had to wait in line to get in! (It's quieter inside as well, which is why I prefer it over the original Red Iquana.)
Holy mackerel 😳😲 simply breathtaking doesn’t look real more like a painting so many colors can’t imagine 🤷♂️🙋♂️😔 even doing nothing must be peaceful and like heaven relaxing calming in whatever work or thing your doing it’s balance dang
Man. I was excited to see this video, but finishing with Oh Mai brings tears to my eyes. I loved their Bahn Mi and Pho. I was also a huge fan of Lucky 13 by the baseball stadium, Real Salt Lake games, and going up the trolley at Snow Bird. But this list, while I didn’t partake of all 22 things, I did greatly appreciate it. I lived in Utah for 7 years, nearly 2 of them just south of downtown SLC, so I know all too well the places and things you discussed here. Thanks for sharing!
Looking forward to trying these today, thank you!!
Thanks and great video. Loved the Antelope Island State Park.
Me too, such a cool spot to explore!
Well done. Thanks for posting.
Ive been to most of these places on field trips through my different school years 😂😂
Same!!
Same!!!
I didn't see anyone suggesting Ensign Peak. Great little hike for even young kids. That has a beautiful view of the city as well. People go up there to watch the sunrise in the early mornings.
Lagoon and Seven Peaks are also fun!
Great video, can't wait to see those places!
Not technically in Salt Lake City, but you need to add the Livingston Aquarium and Thanksgiving Point to this list. Two of the most amazing places in the country.
Can''t wait to make that trip to Utah.
I think you should explore Memory Grove Park and The International Peace Gardens
Silver folk cafe is a must and a hidden gem, park cafe is also pretty good. We have lots of breweries too which are really fun.
The salt lake city library is where my graduation ceremony is going to take place. You might ask why a Utahn is watching this video. Although i have been to many of these places i have never heard of some of them. I was curious about what places where on this list
Lots of the people watching this are from Utah lol
So many great ideas that span the spectrum!! You da man!!
Omg !! Do a video on park city utah ❤️ that’s where I’m at and wanna see what you come up with. Awesome video. It’s about 20 mins from Salt Lake City 🌃
I agree, do park city!
Right 😊😊😊
Can't afford it. But there are some good places to eat there if you ask the locals..Just for fun (Yuks and Giggles..) ruclips.net/video/LjxdVVIje8c/видео.html
20 min if you drive as fast as everyone else hahaha
For pizza, go to Fuego! The food is great.
I love this list and could probably add 25 more
Great video! Planning on visiting Salt Lake City next year and loved this!!
So excited for your visit! I could add more to the list if you want?
This is awesome!!!! I fell in love with your other channel, California through my lens, and it gets me so excited that you have another channel for other amazing places! Thanks so much for all of the inspiration through the years. So stoked to have found this.
At August I’m going to Utah for a week and I’m going to the Lagoon Amusement Park! And it’s going to be fun!! I never been there either!
Lagoon is a lot of fun. It has been a long time since I worked there as a teenager. Just remember that it will probably be really hot so bring plenty of sunscreen and drink a lot of water.
One fun thing to do on the Colossus is to push your head back in the seat when you go in the loop and you blackout. You can ride it many times in a row usually right before closing.
How was your trip?
The peace garden is a really cool place to go, great for pictures!
I love the Red Iguana that's definitely one of the many great places the Blue Iguana is pretty good too but the red one is a little better and always busy
Thanks for the video. I plan to check these out when I'm in town.
Trolly Square is a spot worth mentioning... it's the old station for the street cars used in SLC many years ago. Now it's an eclectic shopping mall with one of my favorite restaurants... The Old Spaghetti Factory established right around 1974. The Desert Edge brew pub in Trolley is a fun place to chill too! Oh, and there is a Rodesio's Brazilian steak restaurant there as well.
We had a few trains in Hawaii, not much.
i had been in salt lake city in 2014 october is very beatifoul,,, greettings from Rancagua Chile
Dawg your crazzzzyyy!!!! The fishing here is GREAT not to mention all the badass camping spots and bars bro! Yall think were some mormon city slickers.. But you dont know nothing about SLC, damn CITY BOYS..
Seriously, Ut, let's not mention the fishing. Okay, the Green River (about a 4 hour drive) is magnificent; the places closer are already over-crowded at times. From now until the 4th of July the rivers will all be pretty high except for the tailwaters...
Fishing? Where? Mantua 50 miles north of SLC? Not much fishing in the Wasatch Front valley itself. There is the Jordon River, and a couple small ponds but they're polluted. The fishing is not great in and around Salt Lake City. Fish is very limited and expensive if you want to eat some.
I'm an east coast person and thanks for sharing travel tips in California, Oregon, and Utah!
Since the late 90's I've always wanted to go to The Roof on the 10th floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. We finally got to go for Valentines Day 2018. The Food was AMAZING! It's not cheap ($50 per person) but the selection was the best I've ever seen in a Buffet and of course, ALL YOU CAN EAT.
Just came from your live after asking about Utah and man i dont know how i missed this! This helps us a ton in our upcoming trip
Very nice compilation! Thank you.
Great so cool. Beautiful..👍👏
Lived there most of my life and intend on returning one day. This video was spot-on, nice work! It's a great video to show all of my East Coast people who have perceptions of Utah that I know are incorrect.
Matthew Kraeling tell them to stay in the East.
