If you live in Utah (or are thinking about moving here—wink, wink 😉), Lagoon is practically a rite of passage. Located just north of Salt Lake City in Farmington, it’s been our go-to spot for thrills, chills, and funnel cake spills for generations.

The Must-Know Basics
- Location: Farmington, Utah – about 20 minutes from Salt Lake City.

Tips for the Best Day Ever
