Best Museums in South Jordan

"Devote the rest of the afternoon to Salt Lake’s architecturally striking Natural History Museum of Utah, right next door. Wholly absorbing exhibits skip from the Utah’s Native American inhabitants to the state's biological diversity, geology and prehistory, with hands-on displays that educate learners about the formation of sand dunes and how to construct earthquake-proof buildings. Utah is a paleontologist's playground so it stands to reason that the museum’s showstoppers are its fossils and dinosaurs, including the world’s only stash of 14 Ceratopsian (horned) dinosaur skulls. Watch scientists in action by peeking through the windows of the Palaeontology Preparation Lab."

"The Natural History Museum over on the University of Utah’s campus is cool. This is the Place Heritage Park can also be fun if you are interested in pioneer heritage and seeing what it was like to live as an earlier settler in the 1800’s."

"One of the most spectacular natural history museums you will find, this building grabs you from the moment you see its copper-and-granite…"

"Clark Planetarium is Salt Lake City's new planetarium building, opened to the public in 2003 to replace the city's historic Hansen Planetarium. The downtown planetarium facility showcases the nation's first pitless digital planetarium dome and offers 190 seats with individual interactive console controls, along with a certified IMAX large-screen theater showcasing nature and science films. Though planetarium and IMAX showings require a ticketed upcharge, visitors can explore the planetarium's museum for free, which offers three levels of exhibits dedicated to the earth, the solar system, and deep space."

"Original photograph Mike Murray, composited with public domain nebula from NASA. The Clark Planetarium is a wonderful and fun educational location that is among the best things to do in Salt Lake City, Utah. Over 10,000 square feet of ground throughout the spot offer countless multidimensional exhibits and lots of activities to take part in."

"The star shows and IMAX theater at the Clark Planetarium aren't free, but the planetarium does have a number of free exhibits that are interesting and worth a look, especially if you're in the area."

"Discovery Gateway: The Children’s Museum of Utah stretches over 60,000 square feet and is a discovery center that is dedicated to interactive learning when it comes to all things science related. If you are traveling with a family then this makes a great rainy day activity, and you can get hands on with a range of different galleries that will help you to better understand science and the way the world works."

"Is there any better way to explore Salt Lake City with kids than at a children’s museum?. Discovery Gateway in the Gateway shopping and entertainment complex downtown offers more than 60,000 square feet of fun with tons of Salt Lake City activities for kids. The entire museum is designed specifically for kids with hands-on exhibits, activities, and play areas that encourage problem-solving and collaboration."

"Housing a collection that includes 18,000 pieces and approximately 4,000 years' worth of artwork, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts contains numerous globally and locally relevant exhibits at any given time. In 2001, the museum relocated to the brand-new Marcia and John Price Museum Building, giving it 74,000 square feet of space in which to operate. Here you'll see paintings, photographs, and sculptures by contemporary local artists, as well as that by people long deceased, and from the other side of the world."

"If you are interested in culture and the arts then the Utah Museum of Fine Arts is the place to come and indulge your passion. The building is part of the campus of the University of Utah and as such is both a state and university museum. The Utah Museum of Fine Arts first opened in the 1950s and you will find more than 20 different galleries here with both static and rotating exhibits."

"Located at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, this is the largest art museum in the Intermountain West. Its collection includes more than 21,000 works of art: paintings, sculpture, photography, mixed media, and works on paper, from across the globe."

"Of all the major world religions, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has the shortest history. Founded on April 6, 1830 by Joseph Smith, this religion is not even 200 years old. However, brief does not make boring!"

"For over 50 years, this attraction has brought contemporary art to Utah. The gallery showcases over 40 different artists and includes representational and abstract pieces. In addition to resident art, Meyer Gallery also spotlights featured artists."

"According to the gallery’s owner, “J GO Gallery is Park City’s most vibrant gallery and is based on a different model than most. We utilize the gallery space for all kinds of creative community events including intimate concerts, comedy shows, wine classes, yoga classes, ballet rehearsals and private events. And there is a coffee and dessert shop in here."

"Casual eatery with locations in Sugarhouse, Park City and Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah serving up NYC-style pizza by the pie or slice, including vegan & gluten-free options. Este Pizzeria is a local, family owned and operated New York Style Pizzeria that takes great pride in serving delicious New York style pizza in a casual, friendly dining atmosphere. The menu items are created using fresh, high quality ingredients."

"Satisfy meat lovers, cheese lovers and veg heads alike at this pizzeria in Prospector Square. Along with the typical Italian fare, Este offers a selection of six types of vegan pizzas, and they even have vegan “chick-un” buffalo wings for an appetizer."

"Over on the East side of town you’ll find Feldman’s Deli – a slice of NYC and Jersey right here in SLC. That’s because owner Michael Feldman hails from back East, and when moving to Utah, brought with him all his favorite lunch specials: over stuffed corned beef sandwiches, reuebens and yes, classic NYC cheese steak. Note: Feldman’s 1/2 sandwiches might just run you lunch and dinner all by themselves."

"If you’ve seen my post on the Top 10 Places to Eat in Salt Lake City, you know my love for Feldman’s Deli. It’s the only authentic Jewish deli for miles within the SLC area and serves some of the greatest sandwiches I’ve had in my life. But the breakfast is not to be missed."

"It may look like just another Buds sandwich, but don’t be fooled. Starting tomorrow, we’ll be serving this CAPRESE... Buds serves an entirely plant-based menu featuring classic sandwiches with a vegan twist, along with fresh vegetables, sauces, barbacoa-grilled jackfruit, and a tasty Pesto Sub."

"Try the Salt Lake CheeseSteak, Barbacoa Burrito (made with grilled jackfruit), or the Spicy Meatball Sub -- all prepared with plant-based ingredients. Buds serves "Fresh Fast Food" with a menu of inexpensive yet filling and tasty eats. Outdoor seating is available."

"I have been coming to buds for almost a year, and I have to tell you this place is legit, some of the best sandwiches in Salt Lake City."

"Passion Flour is a cute little patisserie and coffee shop with endless offerings of vegan desserts. We recommend their s’mores pop tart, with its flaky, buttery crust and dark chocolate filling. We always mean to take just a few bites, but the whole thing is gone before we know it."

"This spot is a bakery and cafe, so they do have a menu for savory entrees. With brunch on weekends, served until 4 pm, you’ll want to get in at least before 3 pm unless you want your dreams dashed by being told what’s sold out. It’s a popular spot."

"Located at the bottom of Historic Main Street, across the street from Town Lift Plaza, Atticus Coffee offers delicious breakfast options (like ‘The Usual’ – a bagel, served open face with cream cheese avocado, and fresh cracked pepper), coffee, and tea to kick start your day. Fast and fresh, Atticus is a great place to grab a bite before hopping on Town Lift to begin your ski day."

"$ Combine a charming teahouse with a bookshop and you have Atticus. Choose from their assortment of loose-leaf teas, even mixing them up for a unique blend. While you enjoy your drink, peruse a selection of used books, local crafts, and baked goods."
