FARMINGTON, Utah — April Fools'! Lagoon Amusement Park has postponed its opening day for a second time because of weather conditions.

Originally, the popular Utah attraction was set to open its gates on March 25, but, days before opening, it announced the date had been pushed back to April 1 due to rain, snow and overall cold weather in the forecast.

Now, it seems that may have been an April Fools' prank as the park is pushing its opening weekend back for a second time.

This time, snow accumulation at the park is forcing the delay.

Utah has been continually hammered during the week with snow and rain, especially in Davis County, where Lagoon is located.

When the park does open, for April as well as the majority of May, it will operate solely on weekends, with park hours from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays (including opening day) and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays.

Starting in May, the park will slowly be open for longer periods of time until it stays open every day through June, July and part of August.

If you want to head to this popular Utah attraction, you will have to dish out a little more cash. In November 2022, Lagoon announced a price hike on ticket prices due to rising operational and maintenance costs.

A single-day ticket for the majority of guests will cost $97.95 at the park, while a youth ticket will cost $74.95 for the day.

Season pass costs also jumped up in price for the upcoming season.

The park announced a new ride would be coming sometime during the 2023 season, although an exact date hasn't been announced.
