There was a small fee to enter, and we paid for the laserium light show type thing-THAT WAS AMAZING! I would expect to pay a higher fee anywhere else. It was very easy to get to from Provo, and the neat thing is that we drove to Sandy and caught the FrontRunner from there. It let us off right by... More

The Clark Planetarium is a really fascinating stop in Salt Lake City. It's a great place to duck out of the heat and learn a little. The kids will love the planetarium as there is a lot of interactive activities for them to check out. It's in a great location. Right in the heart of Salt Lake. It is part... More

Clark Planetarium is not a huge place, but it has interesting exhibits. You can probably breeze through it in 30 minutes or less. It is educational though and most importantly - free, which is an amazing treat. I bring my son there all the time. There is an IMAX theater there (it cost around $8 per person) and we've loved...

A good place to take your science geek kids. If you are already downtown and would like to see some documentary style IMax movies. Then by all means visit Clark Planitarium. If you live in SLC, consider buying thee annual membership. The lobby is full of science exhibits that can easily gobble up an hour while waiting for the next... More

We went to the Clark planetarium while visiting SLC and had some free time. For something free it was pretty fun. My niece had a lot of fun running around and looking at the different things. They offer a lot of different shows and an IMAX theater for an extra fee, which we were not able to take advantage of,... More

This is part of the Connect PASS. Be warned that you are restricted to only certain movies and the times make it hard to get in and out quickly. After 4:15 you will probably not get to see an IMAX film. I enjoyed the displays as had been 10+ years since last visited. It's a larger building but it seemed... More

This is great for kids and the movie theater plays great educational as well as regular movies. Lots of fun to go to with would-be scientists or kids who think they don't like science.

The Clark Planetarium is always fun and the best part is that most of it is free!!! As adults we still enjoy wandering around and exploring. We love the 3D documentary-style movies. They are a great watch. Caution-This is not an extensive museum by any standards. However, it is a great way to spend some time. It is not an... More

Everyone from young to old will find something, if not a lot of things, to fascinate the mind and stimulate the imagination.

Everything about this is a movie theater, not a planetarium or museum of any kind. I went to the website before I went and went I got to Clark Planetarium they were closed to the public. A private kid party rented it out. There was never a mention on the website and I lost $20 in taxi fare. That sucked!... More
