During your Salt Lake City vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Classic Cars International Antique Auto Museum of Utah
More than 200 antique and classic cars are packed into several showrooms here, and many are for sale. Although the collection is constantly changing, among the vehicles we admired were a 1903 Steven Duryea, a beautiful bright yellow 1926 Stutz Bearcat, an elegant 1929 dual cowl Duesenberg, a 1936 Packard V-12 two-door convertible, several 1959 big-finned Cadillac convertibles, and a 1925 Packard Phaeton convertible owned by gangster Al Capone. There are usually a number of muscle cars from the 1960s as well. All cars in the collection, whether original or restored, are fully operational. You'll also see antique slot machines, gas pumps, and a jukebox. Allow at least 45 minutes to an hour.
Clark Planetarium
This state-of-the-art planetarium presents star shows depicting the wonders of the universe, light shows, and big screen movies in Utah's only 3-D IMAX theater. It also contains a variety of interactive exhibits ranging from a display about the names of the planets to a Foucault pendulum, plus a rotating relief globe. Allow 1 to 3 hours.
Joseph Smith Memorial Building
Formerly the historic Hotel Utah, this magnificent building has been renovated and converted into offices, meeting spaces, restaurants, and reception areas (it's very popular for wedding receptions). Between 1911 and 1987, this was a world-renowned hotel; the lobby retains its art-glass ceiling and massive marble pillars, and the architectural details have been lovingly restored throughout. It's worth a stop for a peek inside.There are 200 computers in the FamilySearch Center (tel. 801/240-4383), and a staff to help with your genealogical research. A big-screen 500-seat theater offers free (but ticket required, call tel. 801/240-4383 for schedule and to reserve a ticket) showings of an hour-long movie about the life of Christ. Allow half an hour to an hour and a half.
