International Peace Gardens of SLC is a botanical garden in Salt Lake City, Utah, at 1060 S 900 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84104. It offers a calm outdoor place to stroll, pause, and enjoy open green space within the city. The gardens are arranged to represent different countries, giving visitors an opportunity to notice varied garden settings and learn a little about how each country is represented. With a 4.7-star rating from 2,220 reviews, it is a well-reviewed local destination for an unhurried visit rather than a tightly scheduled attraction.

Visitors describe the grounds as peaceful, clean, and well cared for, with appealing grass and plenty of open space. The atmosphere suits a quiet walk alone, a relaxed outing with a friend or family, or time outdoors with a dog; reviewers have mentioned walking their dogs here and seeing other visitors do the same. The open layout also makes the gardens a pleasant setting for photography. Some visitors have come across photoshoots during their visit, while others enjoy simply taking in the scenery at their own pace. The experience can feel especially tranquil as an escape from the city, even though the garden is located in Salt Lake City.

A distinctive reason to visit is the collection of country-themed garden areas. Guests can explore the different sections and appreciate the idea of gardens representing places around the world. The displays may vary in how complete they feel: reviewers note that some areas marked for particular countries do not yet have installations, so visitors should expect a garden with open spaces as well as featured sections. Reviews also describe seasonal differences, from flowers in bloom during a summer visit to a lovely, quieter atmosphere after dusk. The changing light and season can make repeat walks feel different, without requiring a special event or itinerary.

International Peace Gardens of SLC is a good fit for local residents, visitors looking for a free outdoor activity, garden enthusiasts, casual photographers, and anyone who wants a low-key walk. Reviewers highlight that admission is free, making it an accessible option for a simple outing. The garden is open every day, Monday through Sunday, from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Its address is 1060 S 900 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84104. A skate park is adjacent, which visitors may notice nearby, while the gardens themselves offer a quieter setting for a stroll. For current conditions or any visit-specific details, check locally before heading out.

This is a really nice peaceful place to take a walk, either by yourself, with a friend, or with your dog! There were lots of well-behaved dogs when I went for a walk here, with my dog. The grass inside of here is really nice, too. Everyone picked up after their dog, and I didn't see any poops as we were walking through the garden area. The intl peace gardens is connected to a large park, with plenty of free parking available in at least two lots. The gardens are free to access and are really nice. We love this place and will return again with our pup 🙂

This is a nice place to take stroll, but it feels a bit empty for a garden. Lots of open space. Some areas marked off for certain countries don't have any installments (yet, I would hope). It is very quiet and clean. Apparently (as seen during our walk), it's a great place for a photoshoot! We saw a picnic-themed, country pride-themed, and fairy-themed photoshoot respectively during our short time around the small park.

Looking for something free of charge and absolutely stunning to walk through this is your place. We love seeing all the very unique gardens all inclusive! My husband and I enjoyed this very much! Only down side is that it was a little hidden on the map. We were there when it looked like a drama club with a bunch of kids were screwing around and we couldn’t see a couple of the attractions! We’ll definitely share with friends!

What a beautiful, well cared for park I discovered. Reminded me of the Balboa Park in San Diego (International cottages section) but larger. I enjoyed walking this. It was serene, a tranquil escape within the city. A skate park is adjacent.

This gorgeous (and free) arboretum is open until 10 pm! It's fun to learn a little about the way the various countries are represented. The first time we went was in daylight in July and everything was in full bloom. This time it was after dusk in May and it was absolutely lovely, though some of the flowers weren't blooming yet. If you're in the area, it's well worth checking out!
