UTAH STATE CAPITOL REVIEWS
Neat place to visit and learn about! The architecture is beautiful. The tour for us (school group) included being able to see the earthquake supports that have been recently placed under the building. We were also able to see the court room. In that room is a hand-made timer for helping the speakers know when to stop. The timer is in the shape of a traffic light that was built by Lester Farnsworth Wire who made the first version of a traffic light in the state of Utah, in 1912. The "traffic light" timer is still used today. There are great resources on the Utah state capital website such as scavenger hunt games and coloring sheets for use during your tour. So much to see and learn about.
Beautifully done! You have to visit this place. I really enjoyed the history. The architecture was amazing inside. So much more to see than I expected. If you are visiting Salt Lake City you should definitely check this place out! This is an excellent place to go when the weather isn’t great outside. I highly recommend this place.
Very nice to visit. I would have liked to have more time to experience the tour but I was unable. The building is well lit for photography and is beautiful inside! The entrance on the side of the building.

The Beehive House is one of the popular Brigham Young's official homes, the second president of the Latter-day Saints Church of Jesus Christ. The Beehive House takes its name from the beehive sculpture above the house. The three-story home is located in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, at the intersection of State Street and South Temple. The beautiful green space at the southeast corner of State Street and North Temple was a portion of Young's farmland. The park's statue memorials, wooden water wheel, and native landscaping make an excellent backdrop for a family stroll.

THE BEEHIVE HOUSE REVIEWS
This was one of my favourite visits to salt lake. They have the house set up as it was in its prime with all of the amazing antiques. At the end of the tour, they have on display the coat and cane of the prophet. Very cool.
Excellent Tour. Guide was knowledgeable and engaging. The house looks amazing. The best part is that it's free! But, I would have paid for it, if required.
Such a neat joint! Loved the informative tour! Ms Jane was the best guide ever!

'Salt Lake City and County Building' is one of the City's most beloved landmarks. Salt Lake City and County Building, usually called the "City-County Building," is the seat of government for Salt Lake City. It has a beautiful backdrop for weddings and other private gatherings, meetings, and after-hours get-togethers for businesses and non-profits. The inside venue area is on three levels, with each level seating approximately 100 visitors or reception style service for 500. The outside venue is perfectly shaded with some of Salt Lakes' ancient trees.

SALT LAKE CITY AND COUNTY BUILDING REVIEWS
Over the years I have enjoyed this marvelous building and its grounds in many ways from concerts, festivals, cultural events and incredible food from every country on earth. On the occasions that none of those things are happening, it makes for a very pleasant park. To stroll the grounds or just sit on the grass and watch the clouds, the views in any direction will be well worth the time that you're there.
The staff are very knowledgeable and patient — they were helpful in navigating us through the bureaucratic red tape.
Beautiful building and a beautiful park all around it. Great places to take pictures.
