Lagoon Amusement Park

Lagoon Amusement Park is an amusement park in Farmington, Utah, offering wooden and steel roller coasters, water slides, and rides for children. The grounds spread across several themed zones with restaurants, game stalls, and covered areas for resting.

The park began in 1886 as a bathing resort on the lakeshore and grew over more than a century into a major leisure destination in the American West. The first rides were added in the late 19th century as the site gained popularity with day-trippers from Salt Lake City.

The name comes from a lake that once shaped the grounds before the attractions were built. Families often visit across multiple generations, sharing memories of the same rides their parents and grandparents experienced before them.

The park opens in spring and remains in operation through fall, with the longest opening hours during summer. Visitors should bring sun protection on bright days and wear comfortable shoes, as the paths between attractions are fairly long.

A carousel from the late 19th century still spins and is among the oldest operating rides of its kind in the United States. The wooden figures and hand-cranked organ have been carefully preserved and restored over the decades.
