TAKE IN THE UTAH SUNSET FROM 200 FEET ABOVE MAIN STREET

This tour begins at the front doors of the Walker Center (175 S. Main Street). Once inside, you’ll learn a little about the city’s premier historic office tower, including its ties to Utah’s mining industry and World War I. You’ll also hear about Harry Houdini’s visit, and a true crime caper which played out at the Walker long ago. 

The tour moves to the rooftop just in time for sunset! Here your guide will point out other city landmarks, and there will be time for photos.

After dark, the iconic Walker Center sign lights up! You’ll hear the history of the sign and see its modern capabilities.  

This tour is recommended for residents, visitors, groups of friends and family, history buffs, and anyone else wanting to experience the most photogenic rooftop in all of Salt Lake City at the most magical time of day.
