Neat place! We're looking forward to coming back in the spring with things are blooming.

If you're not of the faith, the sculptures are a little bizarre but it's still very fascinating. A lot of work and dedication was put into this (and continues to be put into it, with the garden) and even if one isn't a member of the church I think you can still have a sense of wonder at the amount of time someone put into this and the vision and inspiration he had.

Super cute hidden spot for a quick walk. Fun sculptures to see and photograph. Curious for sure. Kids loved it.

You can spend about 1 -2 hours in the Gilgal Sculpture Garden.
One can appreciate the sculptures only if you have sufficient time to appreciate the details of each of the art.
The writings on the stones also need time to go through each one of them.
There are photo exhibits as well.
I was particularly amazed to see the way the sculpture of the holy books is carved. It is too good to be believed.
Overall it was a satisfactory experience.

Great for a short walk enjoying scupltures and garden (it's not a big park you can go around like in 45 min )

Really unusual & unique park. Can definitely say I've never seen anything quite like it.

Lovely garden! Pollinators abundant! We went in the middle of the day when it was very hot, but we found a bench in some shade. It would be so lovely in the evening.

Definitely could use a fresh bathroom. The ports potty was pretty icky.

If you are looking for an interesting park to visit while in Salt Lake City Gilgal is it! I had been here before and there were homeless people sleeping and a mess in there. This time around the landscape looks amazing! It looks like they really have been taking care of this park. We enjoyed walking around and reading all about the interesting sculptures, seeing butterflies, and all the beautiful flowers!

It was cool! I thought it would be larger. Definitely not the best place for dogs but we were lucky, there were not a lot of people when we went so our dog wasn't as crazy. Our daughter liked exploring a little and smelling the flowers. Just had to make sure she didn't climb on the rocks that were art. It is definitely a cool place to see which I had never known about. It is very peaceful and quiet.
