From the impressive zoos and aquariums to the Discovery Gateway Children’s Museum, Salt Lake City is geared to museums, galleries and offering excellent attractions for everyone. The beautiful Thanksgiving Point gardens include some of the highest man-made waterfalls in the world and 15 themed gardens.
