You will find Lagoon in Farmington, Utah, situated roughly 18 miles north of Salt Lake City. Originally established in 1886 as Lake Park on the Great Salt Lake, the resort relocated inland to Farmington in 1896 under railroad owner Simon Bamberger. Today, this historic, family-owned park is operated by the Freed family's Lagoon Corporation, which acquired full ownership of the property in 1983.

Spanning a landscape that expanded from its original 40-acre grounds, Lagoon is organized into distinct themed areas. You can wander through The Midway, step back into history at Pioneer Village, cool off at the Lagoon A Beach water park, explore rides for little ones in Kiddieland, check out the upcharge attractions in X-Venture Zone, or visit the newly opened section called The District.

Lagoon is renowned for its diverse lineup of ten roller coasters, iconic live entertainment history, and family thrill rides. Thrill-seekers can brave Cannibal's beyond-vertical drop, experience the tower launch of Wicked, or ride the historic 1921 wooden Roller Coaster. Whether you are bringing young children to Kiddieland, seeking adrenaline on massive coasters, or splashing down water slides, the park offers something for every traveler.
