Things to Do in Salt Lake City
Things to do in Salt Lake City: Temple Square, the State Capitol, the Natural History Museum, Red Butte Garden, Hogle Zoo. TRAX from the airport is $2.50.
Salt Lake City
Utah's capital, with eight ski resorts near the city.
The TRAX Green Line train runs from the airport to downtown. A ride is $2.50 and good for 2 hours, and a day pass is $5. The airport station runs from 5:21 a.m. to 11:21 p.m. You do not need a car for downtown, Temple Square, the Capitol or the university area. Antelope Island is different, because the park says Uber and Lyft do not pick up there.
The Salt Lake Temple is closed for renovation. Its public open house runs 5 April to 1 October 2027. The new visitors' center on Temple Square opened on 18 May 2026. It is free and open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. For kids, Hogle Zoo charges $18.95 for ages 3 to 12 from 1 October to 30 April. April and October are mild, with average highs of 61.9 F and 65.5 F at the airport.
Ikon lists Snowbird, Solitude, Brighton and Alta at 32 to 37 miles from the airport. Alta, Solitude and Park City plan to open on 20 November 2026, and Snowbird on 27 November. Alta is ski-only, so snowboarders go to Snowbird next door. The UTA ski bus costs $5 each way and usually starts in late November or early December. When the canyon beacons flash, cars need tires with at least 5/32 inch of tread.
