Top 10 Attractions in Utah

From world-famous temples and theatre to dinosaurs and even an infamous cowboy, here are the Top 10 Utah attractions.

1. Temple Square
   Salt Lake City, UT  
   800-453-3860
   

   This is Utah’s most popular tourist destination, and for good reason: as the Mormon capital of the world, Salt Lake City is a sort of Mecca for Mormonism, a fascinating religion whose roots have taken in the state of Utah. Also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormon Church has built its home base in Temple Square, as the name would imply, and the results are impressive: some of the largest and most beautiful religious structures in the world find their home here.

2. Tuacahn Theatre
   1100 Tuacahn Drive
   Ivins, UT   84738
   435-652-3200
   

   You’ll find yourself more than amused at the Tuacahn Theatre in the gorgeous state of Utah, which finds its home in a natural red-rock amphitheatre. As such, theatergoers will have access to a wide variety of some of the best in the industry, from Broadway shows to serious dramas and even children’s shows like “The Wizard of Oz.” There’s something for everyone at Tuacahn Theatre.

3. Golfing in St. George
   St. George, UT  
   

   St. George is one of the fastest-growing cities in Utah, and one thing that's not getting left behind is the golfing industry in St. George. So burgeoning are the golfing opportunities in this booming town that people flock here from all around the state of Utah just to experience the magic and leisure found on a course that was perhaps not there the same time last year.

4. Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Adventures
   Millions of years ago, when the world looked like a very different place and there was no metropolis built around what would be eventually called “Salt Lake,” dinosaurs roamed the landscape of Utah in the thousands. Nay, the millions, as some evidence points to a massive abundance of prehistoric life in the area. Museums, fossil collections, digs, and monuments abound in the state - all you have to do is keep your eyes open.
