West Valley Coral Arts Center is a wonderful place of Community, preforming arts. Many events are free.
Wheel chair access.
Helpful people.
Great place to renew your spirit through the creativity of others.

Such a great museum, and while it's not huge, they pack so many things in it, that it's a must see if you're in the area. A lot of historic and natural items to see. They also have a huge collection of minerals, which is just amazing.

High quality little bit of everything museum, and affordable. Glad to hear about their expansion. I learned a lot, this isn't a repeat of every natural history museum in the area either! Everytime I've gone people are so nice and it's not crowded. I remember when my son was a toddler they gave him a few presents. When my son got older he couldn't remember the place and thought it would be boring but changed his mind after seeing a high quality virtual reality tour--the best I've seen--online. I'm happy to hear that they've contracted with service missionaries to help with environmental work and service projects and I support that (and hope they've made it neutral to all beliefs--unfortunately it doesn't look that way which is controversial for a city-owned museum). It is a little awkward assigning them be available to answer questions when there's evolution exhibits and american history exhibits that force them to take a mainstream approach in spite of their beliefs. I'm just saying they shouldn't be put in positions like that simply to help the museum keep costs low; let's be a little more sensitive. Other than that, and a place to eat that's not just on the grounds would be nice.

We happened upon this museum accidentally while looking for the Thanksgiving Point one. They had LDS missionaries working there, and they were all very nice. The credit card reader was offline, which was stressful, but the staff were so kind and accommodating, and they made sure we had fun. I would definitely recommend giving this museum a visit!

Wayyy better than their website makes it seem. If you like random things from history, authentic antiques, archeology items, culture, etc this place is well worth the time and you can't beat the entry fee. Plan a good 2 hours to get the full experience, but if you need to make it shorter you can. Very kid-friendly, they have a whole treasure hunt and map thing to do with explorer backpacks. Both the kids and adults loved it.

Mostly history of Utah, but there are a number of historical things from outside of Utah.

Very friendly staff, plenty of accessible parking,

We loved our visit. You can take a walk through all of the many exhibits or ask for a tour. Our guide was so great. He has lots of fun facts and silly jokes for every room. Very entertaining and well worth a visit. We'll definitely be back

We love this museum. It is a little gold nugget that we wished we would have visited sooner. The museum has more than we would have imagined for local and area history, a small live animals room, and a very large rocks, minerals, and mining exhibit. The staff are very friendly and helpful, making your visit comfortable and informative. We learned a lot about the local area that we didn't know before.

We didn't even know this place was here until this weekend but we are very glad we decided to stop. There was so much to do and so many interesting things to see. More than 16 rooms, each with a different theme. Each room had kid-friendly, hands-on exhibits. The reptile room had so many cool reptiles. There was a handler there when we went who was happy to give us more than an hour of personalized, one-on-one time. He got out a few critters so we could see them and touch them. And he was so knowledgeable and kept giving us really interesting facts. So great!!!
