Connect Pass allows for summer fun
The Visit Salt Lake Connect Pass, offering locals and visitors a streamlined and cost-saving way to enjoy Salt Lake's top attractions, just got better. New this year is the addition of The Leonardo in downtown Salt Lake. Due to open this summer, The Leonardo's mission is to inspire creativity and innovation in young people and adults with the multidisciplinary blend of science, technology and art. Add to that the much-anticipated opening of the new Natural History Museum of Utah near Red Butte Garden, and it's an easy choice for visitors or locals who have family or friends in town or simply want something exciting to do with the kids.
The Visit Salt Lake Connect Pass is sold online at www.VisitSaltLake.com, in the Visitor's Center at the Salt Palace Convention Center and at participating hotels.
Participating attractions include: The Leonardo (new in 2011), Discovery Gateway, Red Butte Garden, Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort (scenic foot passenger tram ride), Thanksgiving Point Gardens and the Museum of Ancient Life, Natural History Museum of Utah (due to reopen in its beautiful new building in the foothills this fall), Utah Olympic Park, Utah's Hogle Zoo, lunch at the Lion House Pantry Restaurant, Clark Planetarium, Tracy Aviary, This is the Place Heritage Park, and the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Many of the venues are accessible by UTA TRAX light rail.
The streamlined Visit Salt Lake Connect pass allows visitors and locals to experience 13 of Salt Lake's top attractions for one low price. Available as a 1-day, 2-day, 3-day or 365-day pass, the Visit Salt Lake Connect Pass is activated the first time it's used and remains active for the number of consecutive days purchased. The 365-day pass remains active for an entire year; however, any Connect Pass not used/activated within the calendar year it was purchased will expire. Pass holders may visit as many attractions as they like while their pass is active, but they are limited to only one (1) visit to each participating attraction. Each person must have a pass and may visit any of the participating attractions one time each upon pass activation.
Families may choose to stay downtown and take in a show at the Clark Planetarium, go hands-on at The Leonardo and then enjoy lunch at the historic Lion House Pantry. They could visit Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort for a scenic tram ride and spend an afternoon at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. With 13 attractions in all, the options are endless. Many of the venues are accessible by UTA TRAX light rail.
