The Junction sits just north of Ogden’s Historic 25th Street District and just west of “The Vard.” Its western boundary is Lindquist Field (home of the Pioneer League’s Ogden Raptors), and it’s northern boundary is the LDS Temple. It features the same walkability as its neighbors and is THE place for entertainment in Ogden for all ages. Here, you’ll find the majority of Ogden’s family friendly attractions including its downtown Megaplex Theater, the Treehouse Children’s Museum, several restaurants and shops, the Hilton Garden Inn, and The Junction’s crown jewel, The Salomon Center.

The Salomon Center houses Flowrider (an indoor surfing venue), iRock (an indoor climbing venue), and iFly (an indoor skydiving wind tunnel). It is also home to EOS Fitness, Fat Cats (a family fun center with bowling, arcade and bumper cars) and a couple of eateries.

No evening in The Junction is complete without a visit to Sonora Grill, where you’ll find unforgettable Mexican cuisine (and be sure to order one of their specialty margaritas made with locally distilled agave spirits from New World Distillery).

The Junction is a great place to start any downtown walking adventure since it offers abundant free parking and puts you within an easy walk of the LDS Temple, a Raptors game, the Ogden-Eccles Conference Center, Historic 25th Street and The Vard.

The Junction earned its name as part of one of Ogden’s earliest railroad nicknames… Junction City.

The non-profit Treehouse Museum is rooted in the vital need of children to make meaningful connections through stories, imaginative play, literacy, and the arts.

The Museums at Union Station was founded in 1978 by the Union Station Development Corporation (USDC) and Elizabeth “Teddy” Griffith, a historian with a vision for social history and a love for Ogden. To this day, Union Station preserves the history of Utah railroading, the history of Ogden, and the cultural heritage and legacy of everyone who has come through or lived in Ogden. In 1988, Union Station was designated as the Utah State Railroad Museum. Today, it holds this museum, as well as the Browning Firearms Museum, the Browning-Kimball Car Museum, and two art galleries. The museum’s collection contains around 50,000 objects, including photographs, prints, costumes, paintings, sculpture, railroad ephemera, and more.

Rainbow Gardens History has a great and exciting history dating back to the late 1800’s. Today, Rainbow Gardens is still owned by the King family, with Robert W. King serving as CEO and five children in retail and restaurant management positions. They extend a warm welcome to all for “Gifts, Food, and Fun.”

Receiving visitors has been the “grand tradition” of Rainbow Gardens since the 1890’s, when the discovery of natural hot springs here drew crowds of health-seeking bathers to the waters of Ogden Canyon Resort—our ‘landmark’ is rich in history!
