The best sushi in Utah! They are typically very busy and do not take reservations on the weekends but it’s worth a trip if you’re a sushi lover. Ask for the sushi cupcakes from the hidden menu!

If you’re traveling with a little one, the treehouse museum is a great indoor activity place. It’s a non-profit and each room is based on story books. It’s like a massive creative playroom and very inexpensive!

Utahns are generally very friendly
In Utah, people generally are chatty, friendly and like to be acknowledged. Saying hi to a stranger in a store or asking how someone’s day is going is not uncommon.

Fry sauce is just better than ketchup and each restaurant typically has their own “brand.” Fry sauce is a very Utah thing.
