Things to do in Salt Lake City

Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Hearing the world- renowned Mormon Tabernacle Choir is a must-do on any SLC bucket list. A live choir broadcast goes out every Sunday at 9:30am. September through November, and January through May, attend in person at the Tabernacle. Free public rehearsals are held here from 8pm to 9pm Thursday. From June to August and in December – to accommodate larger crowds – choir broadcasts and rehearsals are held at the 21,000-seat LDS Conference Center. Performance times stay the same, except that an extra Monday-to-Saturday organ recital takes place at 2pm.

Gracie's
Even with two levels and four bars, Gracie's trendy bar-restaurant still gets crowded. The two sprawling patios are the best place to kick back. Live music or DJs most nights.

Coffee Garden
Our favorite coffeehouse has a great laid-back vibe at the heart of the eclectic 9th and 9th neighborhood. A multitude of tasty homebaked goods come with and without the sin (gluten and fat-free available).

Antelope Island State Park
The pretty, 15-mile-long Antelope Island State Park, 40 miles northwest of SLC, has nice hiking and the best beaches for lake swimming (though they're occasionally stinky).
