Best & Cool Science and Space 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."

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."

"One of the main buildings in Temple Square is the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Constructed in 1911 and originally known as the Hotel Utah, it was later renamed in honor of the first president of the Mormon Church. The building is 10 stories high and is made with glazed terra-cotta bricks, which shine in the strong Utah sun."

"Unwind after a day on the slopes at a longtime local fixture. You'll always find a mix of visitors and local regulars partaking in the après scene at The Corner Store(1325 Lowell Ave) thanks to $3 PBRs and tasty, reasonably-priced grub. During their round of renovations this summer, the eatery installed two new pizza ovens meaning those $6 slices ($4 for locals) are being served faster than ever."

"$ Since cheap burgers an beer is exactly what you need after a day on the slopes, the Corner Store is consistently one of our favorites. Tucked into the base area of Park City Mountain, this is a ski-boots-on and live music kind of place. Visit the Corner Store website."

"Zest is a healthy restaurant featuring a fresh juice cocktail bar, and organic eats. Gluten-free eaters will enjoy their Moroccan chickpea soup and avocado stuffed salad, and their housemade “cheese” biscuits are sooo yummy!. Stop by for a “beet it!"
