Lagoon & Lagoon A Beach Amusement Park

If living in Utah or just visiting; your whole family will enjoy a trip to Lagoon Park. A scenic short drive up North from Salt Lake City you will soon find the signs for Lagoon Park. Once in the park if you take a left you will quickly find yourself facing Lagoons Double Thunder Raceway tracks. Every time we come to Lagoon Park we purchase tickets to ride these one or two times. It's funner with more people and the thrill is to find a fast car and beat out other riders. Kids love this ride and it's a great Father & Son bonding ride. The tickets cost $5.50 per driver and they have another track that is driver/passenger option.


Lagoon Park has a kiddie land just perfect for every child. They came out with a new ride this year (2008) called the OdySea. It's very Pirates of the Caribbean with the octupus and water. Kids love this park created especially for them and you will find lots of parents and strollers in this area.
Our favorite place to eat while at Lagoon Park is the Olde Mill for the Corn on the Cob. My understanding (or at least years ago we were told this) Lagoon Park grew their own corn and they bar-b-que it so it is piping hot and so sweet. Add salt, butter and pepper or eat plain but it is simply the best tasting corn you will have and if you leave out the butter it's the healthiest option in the park.


On hot days you will be thankful for Rattlesnake Rapids. Get in, sit down and enjoy a relaxing river rafting experience. You get to travel through a dark cave, get hit by light mist and sometimes get a little wet. But at the end of the ride you are guranteed to get soak by the waterfall. No one comes out dry.

Lagoon A Beach which has a lazy river and lots of water slides. Come for a afternoon and enjoy the sun and cold water.


The Rocket came out a few years ago and it's still a timeless classic. Kids love this ride although I am happy passing it if I don't have to ride it. They have two rides the Re-Entry and the Blast Off. It's just like it sounds the re-entry they slowly take you to the top and let you feel safe and just as you are getting used to looking at the beautiful scenery they drop you. The Blast off is they shoot you off and bounce you up and down until you come down again.




They have other exciting rides like Wicked, Colossus: The Fire Dragon, Wild Mouse, Spider and for a soaker the Cliffhaanger which are definitely must RIDES.
