Davis County, located just north of Salt Lake City, is a great alternative close to but outside of the busy city. This area offers some of northern Utah's most popular attractions, including the Great Salt Lake, Lagoon Amusement Park, Cherry Hill Campground and Waterpark, and direct access to Antelope Island State Park. It's easy to have a great time with your family at Lagoon, one of the premier amusement attractions in the West. From the Rocket to Rattlesnake Rapids, Lagoon offers a summer adventure like no other. And once you're there, you'll have a multitude of activities to choose from. Live entertainment shows, Utah's historic Pioneer Village and Lagoon A Beach Waterpark are all included with your All-Day Passport.
Wild Rides
The Rocket is Lagoon's newest ride. Its made of three steel towers and looms 217 feet in the air. With your choice of blast off (thrusting you up) or re-entry (dropping you down), the Rocket provides two choices for thrills. Lagoon also boasts the only major wooden coaster between Denver and the West Coast. Sixty feet high, and 2,500 feet long, the roller coaster hits 45 miles per hours. Originally built in 1921, and restored after a fire in 1953, the white roller coaster has a well-deserved place in Utah history.
Lagoon Amusement Park
The Colossus Fire Dragon, one of the most exciting coaster rides in the country, has been at Lagoon since 1983. While racing upside down, through two 65 foot diameter loops, riders are thrilled and scared at the same time. And even though the ride is run almost entirely by computer, it still takes six Lagoon employees to keep things running smoothly. One of Lagoon's most historic features is the Merry-Go-Round. Built in 1893 and moved to Lagoon in 1906, it is one of only 300 carousels in the U.S. which still has hand-carved wooden figures. The Merry-Go-Round was completely restored in 1993 for its one-hundredth birthday.

Cool Pool
When visiting Lagoon, don't forget to bring your swimsuit, so you can cool off at Lagoon A Beach Waterpark. Included in the price of an All-Day Passport, Lagoon A Beach has pools and lots of twisting turning waterslides.
Old West
A re-creation of the Wild West awaits your exploration at Lagoon's historic Pioneer Village. Cowboys, pioneer artifacts, and horse-drawn carriages, will make you feel as if you've been transported back in time. The village consists of 42 authentic buildings and frontier furnishings. Many of the buildings were actually dismantled and rebuilt for pioneer Village including the log schoolhouse, the Kaysville, Utah railway station and the Maw home at the village entrance. The village is also home to a collection of vintage weaponry and a fascinating exhibit on Alexander Graham Bell. Lagoon is just 17 freeway minutes north from Salt Lake City or south from Ogden, Utah on I-15 (take the Lagoon Drive exit).
