Saltair III -- one of the most bizarre structures you'll see! Don't forget to circle the entire building to view all there is to offer, architecturally.

We pulled off and went in -- the gift shop was open for the summer. We were able to walk through the concert hall. Around the back is a rise or hill that gives a nice view of the Great Salt Lake.
The gift shop has terrific postcards of Saltair, old photos from its heyday, as well as photos of the fires.
[Joanie Berkwitz, 07/30/2014]Saltair is alive and well. There is a souvenir shop that stays open till 6:00 PM, which gives you the chance to see the interior of the concert hall. You also get a nice view of Great Salt Lake.
