The Hollywood Connection & Ritz 15 Movie Theater458

The Hollywood Connection & Ritz 15 Movie Theater features indoor amusement rides, mini golf, roller skating, an old-fashioned diner (Lieutenant's Diner & Reel Sweet Ice Cream Parlor), arcade games, laser tag, and a theater.

The 15-screen theater offers all stadium seating and the seats are equipped with retractable armrests and cup holders. For movie selections, prices, and showtimes, visit the website.

Wristbands for The Hollywood Connection can be purchased (price varies by day and time); wristbands entitle the wearer to mini golf, rides, and skating. Points can be purchased for individual activities.

While The Hollywood Connection is technically geared to ages 4 and up, toddlers are welcome to ride the carousel, the Balloon Tower, and the Crazy Bus. They are also able to play in an obstacle tower that has a couple of slides (something like you'd see in a McDonald's playland.) Children ages three and under don't require wristbands to play, but they must be accompanied by a wristband-wearing or point-purchasing adult. The amusement rides that are off-limits to the toddlers are the Krazy Kars (similar to bumper cars) and the Dragon Coaster.

The diner offers old-fashioned diner fare like hamburgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, grilled cheese, pizza, ice cream treats, and more. Prices are reasonable, portions are decent-sized, and the food is pretty tasty. A kids' menu is available.

Birthday party packages are available with reservations. All parties are set up for seven guests, and include one hour in a private party room, cake, ice cream, soft drinks, and a 40 point card for the arcade for the birthday child. The Roller Skating Party includes skating, skate rental, and 12 game tokens for the arcade. Roller blade rental costs extra. The Wristband Party includes four hours of unlimited skating, mini golf, rides, and 12 game tokens for the arcade. The Deluxe Party includes everything already mentioned plus one game of laser tag, and 8 additional game tokens for the arcade. To reserve a party, call 801.973.4386 ex 107 at least four days in advance. Parties held Mondays through Thursdays and on Sundays before 4pm are eligible for a discount. Summer party packages are also available for a discount. Call or visit Hollywood Connection's website for pricing.

Summer Fun Passes can be purchased. The pass is valid from June 1 through August 31, and it entitles the passholder to unlimited skating, rides, and miniature golf.

The employees at The Hollywood Connection are nice and they do a good job keeping the place rather clean. All of the restrooms (men's and women's) have baby changing tables.

The Hollywood Connection offers daily specials. Activities and wristbands are deeply discounted for the specials; visit the website for details.

Outside food and beverages are not allowed.
