User Reviews for Gilgal Gardens

2 Star Rating: Below Average

These gardens are secluded, quiet and SO weird. The principles illustrated must have been very important to its creator and the time taken must have been a lifetime. I just don't like it because it makes the Mormon religion look like it is from another planet. As a Mormon, I found some statues disrespectful & confusing. I don't know what the sculptor was thinking.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I have quite a few school friends from out of state and each one that I have taken to Gilgal has been really impressed and felt like they were being let in on some kind of cool secret. There are quite a few people from the state of Utah that have never seen it either, so if you want to impress people take them to Gilgal.

Pros: Free, Never crowded, Interesting & Strange

Cons: Garden needs pruning

Editor's Review

This unusual place mixes sculpture with Utah history and literary tidbits.  See the full editorial review.
