South Towne Center - Sandy, Utah - Indoor Mall, Restaurants, Old-fashioned Carousel

The South Towne Center is the largest indoor shopping mall in Utah. The mall has two levels and more than 150 shops; it is anchored by JC Penney, Dillard's and Mervyn's. Examples of the smaller stores are The Children's Place, Victoria's Secret and REI. The mall hosts many community events, including trick-or-treating for Halloween and a local farmers' market on Fridays and Saturdays in the summer.

This mall has a unique Children's Carousel in the middle of the food court. When my children were young, if we didn't have time for three or four rides, we took great pains to come in an entrance far away from the Carousel, going so far as to put our hands over their eyes as we whisked them past. You can't let a child see this thing without them wanting on it.

There is also a Dino Towne Play Area. This area is a free dinosaur-themed soft play area for children under 42 inches tall. There are plenty of benches for you to rest on while the children play. There is also a Momentum Indoor Climbing facility. This facility includes personal training, yoga, and weight machines.
