saltair pavilion

I've attended a few concerts here and can't say much good about the hall. It is a big empty room with a dirty carpet. The actual Salt Lake - the water, is a long way from the buildings with no easy access. OK for pictures. Probably the most interesting thing is the history of this area. Too bad it has lost so much of its appeal and will likely never gain it back.

Really enjoyed walking around there. Great picture opportunity. The staff in the gift shop was very friendly. Loved hearing about the old stories. Will probably stop by again. Would just love to hold an event there!

Small, crowded gift shop filled with lots of overpriced salt gifts you can buy in any local grocery store. There is also a replica of the old pavilion that will make you wonder why the city hasn't stepped up to restore this once-thriving attraction. Rundown restrooms are behind the gift shop inside the main building. The lake itself is at near-record lows so you can't even see the waves, and the stink is sure overpowering right now. Combined with the trash filled parking lot, it isn't worth the drive anymore.

Saltair has been around for over 100 years and has been for many decades a landmark on the Great Salt Lake for travelers speeding along Interstate 80. We used to always stop here, walked around, marveled at the history of the place, and grabbed a few refreshments. Despite still having a giftshop, the place, in my estimation is no longer worthy of a stop. The place seems run down with paint peeling. The lake itself has receded 100's of feet away. The place is now used for concerts and raves, and even though they allow tourists inside to see the "great" dance area, there is nothing impressive to see inside other than a dirty dance floor and exposed ceiling beams.
