    Absolutely stunning! A must do. We went two days in a row. First day we hiked to Mary Lake and Catherine Lake and was spectacular. Second day we did Donut Falls and hiked to the top of the rocks. Amazing experience. Can’t beat the beauty of nature here. Donut Falls is way more relaxing of a hike but still beautiful.

    These guys are different than all the other escape rooms I have experienced. They are definitely a big step up as far as their escape puzzles. There has been some incredible thought and process in their mystery formulas. I would highly recommend. but make sure you have some clever people with you because to escape you need at least one clever person.

    I was in SLC for a work conference and when it was done, someone asked if we wanted to try this place out for fun. A group of 4 of us went to try it out and we had a lot of fun.

    We were walk-ins at around 5pm and we were the only ones there. More people came by the time we were leaving.

    I wasn’t very good at axe-throwing, but got better as we went on. One of the workers there was a great coach. I don’t remember his name, but he spent time with all of us to make sure we got it and gave us suggestions too.

    It is $15 for an hour of play. Not bad at all. Well worth of the value of what we paid for the amount we threw.

    The also have a little bar area for those that may want something.

    I had a lot of fun at Social Axe. Would definitely return.

    We went as a family. The employees running the place were very friendly. We had a fun time. The room was very well planned and intriguing. We were very impressed. We chose "The Heist". We made it out within the hour.

    Dang what an escape room! This escape room checked all the boxes and is well worth the $35/person asking price. We did the Sherlock one and wow so many Knick-knacks, twists and puzzles we made it out with 8 SECONDS to spare. The adrenaline rush was incredible when we were solving the last couple locks with 30 seconds to go. Truly an amazing experience that I’ll never forget.

    We booked Mountainbased for a private family trip to the Tetons and we are so glad we did! Justin was our guide and he was amazing. Mountainbased payed attention to every detail we were looking for from start to finish. We hiked around Jenny Lake, spotted lots of wildlife, and loved exploring Jackson! Highly recommend them!

    Jim was an awesome instructor who is genuinely interested in making sure you have a wonderful experience. He takes the time to show you everything and does a great job making sure you know what you’re doing. All around super guy too. The ski bike was awesome. I injured my foot snowboarding, so snowboarding was out. This allowed me to get on the mountain, but it was so much fun I’d do it again and recommend it to anyone.

    Five stars. Exceedingly helpful in all ways. Arranged a bit of an unusual 1-way rental to take a break from work and Mike was the absolute best. Need to find an excuse to get back to SLC to rent again from here- thank you,

    A little delayed in writing this review but I wanted to give Cody & Matt the recognition for providing a VERY enjoyable two days floating the Green River below Fontenelle Reservoir last fall. The four of us friends met Matt & Cody below the dam both days and proceeded to catch a bunch of nice sized trout and whitefish. The best part of the trip was how much they taught me about fly fishing over the 2 days and the laughs were non stop too. Shore lunch was fun just telling stories and learning about different aspects of fly fishing. I am a hard core lake fisherman and a below average fly fisherman so it was nice to have them pointing things out that helped me catch more fish. They are both very attentive to your needs and they take safety on the water seriously. Great guys with good personalities for the jobs they do. We will be going out with them again this year and I can't wait! Highly recommended for the novice as well as the advanced fly fishermen & women. You won't be disappointed if you book a trip with them!

    A wonderful experience, including helping to set up and pack up the balloon. Although our pilot might have been a little gruff, he was interesting and most-importantly, skilled. He had to search for an appropriate landing site and then land in a less-than-ideal spot, but that just made for a bit of a longer run for us, and it was great fun! Recommended.

    Holiday River Expeditions did an amazing job from start to finish. The guides were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and just wonderful. They helped make the trip all the more enjoyable. Their laughter and positive attitudes made its way into the whole group. The food was great too. Highly recommend for a Utah River trip and will definitely use them again.
