Lagoon Amusement Park — Attraction in Farmington

Along with many utah natives I have been going to lagoon since I was a small child. Because of this I have much emotional baggage attached to it. Therefore I am going to attempt to be as subjective as possible base this review on the last few Years.

1st let's talk about the value of admission. Personally I am a season ticket holder. The amount that I pay is equivalent to about 2 and a quarter trips To the park. I don't think I'm paying very much because I can come and go as I please anytime they are open. I feel there's a great value in that. however if I had to pay $60 per person every time I went I wouldn't feel very happy about the price. Let's face it there is a lot to do, but if you're only going for one day there's really not enough time to fully experience everything. Especially if it's a busy Day.

There's a wide variety of rides here. I personally only ride a few of them. There are two reasons. One because I get sick on spinny rides. And two because I am a rather large individual, and many of the restraint devices are designed for a smaller statured person. I personally would prefer it if the rides were designed for larger persons. But I realize that I am the odd man out due to my personal choices.

There are a few of the rides that could use a little refurbishment. Such as Dracula is castle which looks and feels run down.I believe that they are all safe. I just feel For the money I pay Things should be kept to a higher standard.

OK let's talk food. I expect good food and service no matter where I go. Just because I'm in an amusement park, that does not mean that I should lower my standards. Because I am a season ticket holder I frequently do not eat at The park. We either stop at a restaurant on the Way, Or pack a lunch. This is mostly because the food here is mostly overpriced. There are a few exceptions however. I do not know the name of it but there is a little shop in Pioneer village that sells salads and wraps. The salads cost about $10 they are Absolutely delicious, and could easily feed 2 people. Also in Pioneer village is the old mill. At this location I can buy a barbecue meal for about $14 which is designed for one person but it has enough food that I can easily feed two. This food although it is not high quality. It is tasty. My experience with all the other locations in the park Is what you would expect. The hamburgers are frozen patties on stale buns. The fries have been sitting in a hot warmer for hours. The hot dogs are prepared by inexperienced tennagers who don't care. Over all The Food options here are much below average except for a couple of locations.

They have a pretty good Sized kids area here. There are many ride options. A lot of them adults can actually ride on. Ironically there are more rides in the kids section that I can fit on than in the adult section. A lot of the rides are basically the same however, As an example vehicles going in a circle. I think there's 3 of those.

They also have a lot of carnival style games. I personally do not play them for the most part. But I had a six-year-old with me the last time I went and she very much enjoyed the way she was treated by the game Barker at the game we played. I also thought that the game Barker did a great job of treating her with respect and speaking to her in an appropriate manner.

On a few occasions I have had the need to make some complaints.The guest services department Like everything else at lagoon is staffed by teenagers. This is not necessarily a bad thing, however I really don't feel asThey care. This is the one department that I really feel there should be adults working in it. I feel like these kids just listen to what you say. And nothing is done about it.

The worst experience I have had here. near closing time I was in line with my 5 year old for one of the kiddie rides. At this point we had been in line for about 10 minutes. A supervisor arrived placed a sign directly in front of me that said this ride is closed for the day. I tried to explain to the employee that we have been...

First of all if you're able to get the get out pass on their black Friday sale (usually goes from nov-end of dec) you can include lagoon for $99 plus get into tons of other places in Utah. Or get your tickets in advance and print them out, either way you can skip the ticket lines. Also i pack three "lunch" sacks the day before, one with breakfast food for the drive, just to get us out the door a bit earlier, lunch sacks, and then sacks for the drive home. you use a lot of energy and tend to be hungier. We bring a cooler for the wagon. We like to get there before the park opens like at least 20-30 minutes early (especially if it's a weekend). This gives you time to park and get tickets. We like to pay the extra $15 for premium parking, we've got 5 kids w/ two littles, so if we have to go out to the car for anything it's right there. If we aren't sure about going to the water park we can leave that stuff in the car or put in a wagon. We bring a wagon with lunch food, and our stroller for the littles. They will let you into the park before the park is actually "open," not sure how early but at least 30 mins. Once we get into the park people can go to the bathroom, then you may have to wait behind a rope to get to the back of the park. I'd send the stroller with the rest of your group to go get in line for primordial, then one person take the wagon with the lunch food directly to the east end of the park where there are pavilions there you can leave your lunch food and wagon. I get one of those $1 bright plastic table cloths so our spot is easy to find. Claim a spot on one of the tables. The line for primordial can get up to 1 hr long, so that's why we like to get in line there first and then do a baby/toddler ride swap. So you can go meet your group in line. If you don't have very comfortable sandals, I'd bring a pair of flip flops and leave at the table with your lunch food or put in the stroller. We also like to bring ponchos, because rattlesnake rapids can drench you and it's required to wear shoes, so if you don't bring extra, you could be soaked in sopping wet shoes for most of the day. We usually go after lunch, so we can grab ponchos and sandals at that time. However that is probably the busiest part of the day for rattlesnake rapids, but the line goes pretty quick. If you don't have littles and big kids and you don't want to do the shows, you could probably have time for the water park. It takes us so much time changing, and then getting out of there, it hasn't been worth it to us. It's a small water park and we usually have a pass to our local water park or go at least once, and they have more slides at local water park, so it makes more sense to skip it. You also have to be aware of what time in the season you're going because the water park is not open early or late in the season. The kids had time to ride pretty much every ride and do some a few times, but we went on a Friday, and lines were shorter. If youre there on a weekend, you may have longer lines which takes more time. They have two shows and they are both wonderful, smoke and mirrors show is great as well as "z." We loved them both. We usually plan to get dinner there and pack the lunch, so we are only paying for one meal. Another thing we love to do is everyone has a fanny pack. We have a few snacks in there like granola bar, fruit stick, trail mix. Then we refill the fanny pack snacks at lunch, for the afternoon. We also put a small mini water bottle in there, you can return fill at areas around the park or at the stroller and at the pavilions, so you have water and snacks in the line. They have goody putty color changing slime on Amazon, we sometimes put in the fanny packs. Then while waiting in line you can have contests to see who can make different things the best. Like a dog or whatever, then ask random people in line to be the judge. 😂 Hope some of these tips help! We also do the fanny packs for Disney. Lagoon will make you take off your backpack or side strap pack on most rides but they will let you keep the...

My partner and I visited Lagoon while staying in the area to see a client. It was fun, but surprisingly expensive for a single-day visit.

Day passes are $94.95 each (plus tax/fees), and season passes are $227.95. With such a narrow gap, day tickets feel overpriced, especially after adding $20 parking, $10 locker rental, and $5 tube rental per person at the waterpark. At this price point, things like parking or tube use should really be included.

Coming from the UK, we were surprised to see very young attendants — some around 14 — operating rides without visible adult supervisors. My arm got bashed on a metal bar on the Sky Ride due to a rushed close. In the waterpark, teenage staff were friendly but at one point literally skipping next to the lazy river. Fun for them, but not very professional.

The park map was a problem. It looked stylish but lacked practical features like walking paths or clearly divided zones. Even the waterpark isn’t marked in blue — due to a strict red, green, cream, and grey colour palette — so it barely stands out. It’s not intuitive for first-time visitors. You can't plan the day or really get yourself oriented.

There’s nowhere to put your bags at most rides, which nudges you toward paid lockers. In UK parks, you'd usually find shelves or bins at each ride. These small charges start to feel like nickel-and-diming.

That said, the park is attractive. The buildings are nicely themed, gift shops have charming displays, and most fountains were working (though one near the entrance was in disrepair). We enjoyed several rides. OdySea was surprisingly interactive once we realized the buttons worked. The Sky Ride offered great views, the carousel was lovely (though it would be nice to see the music player restored), and Rattlesnake Rapids was fun but had a long wait.

The waterpark was a highlight, but a child urinated in the lazy river while we were there. Not the parks fault exactly but more supervision might help. The floor was too hot to walk on comfortably, and shaded paths would be a smart upgrade. You also need to rent a tube for the lazy river and tube ride — another cost on top of the entry fee. It’s also not obvious from the website that swimwear is needed or that there are changing rooms (there are, but this should be clearer).

My partner loved the traditional wooden Roller Coaster. Puff the Dragon was fun, and the train ride was enjoyable except for the tired-looking animals some of which looked depressed and mangy, which were a bit of a downer. Ducks and geese by the pond were nice, though, and paddleboats could be a great addition.

Several thrill rides cost extra. Some rides weren’t operating, like the flying chairs. That felt frustrating after paying so much already.

Lagoon is a well-designed park with charm, but the cost makes repeat visits hard to justify. We’d love to go again to try more rides, but the pricing structure doesn’t encourage casual return visits. There’s no family pass, which seems like a missed opportunity. With better value for day visitors and some structural tweaks, this could be a truly...
