And because of this you can expect to see employees that are willing to go the extra mile to ensure you have a great day.
Lagoon is located roughly 17 miles north of Salt Lake City, Utah. The park was originally a bathing site along the beaches of the Great Salt Lake. When the waters started receding back in the late 1800's the park got moved inland to an area of land that had a small 9-acre lagoon. A new name for the resort was chosen to reflect it's new home and over the years that park has grown and developed into the Lagoon of today.
Lagoon does a great job of maintaining the park. Upon entering the gates you may notice how clean the park and rides are. Each morning starts very early for employees of Lagoon to get the park is ready and looking great for the guests that show up that day.
