“If you want to learn about the history of Salt Lake City/Utah "This is the Place". The train will take you around the park making stops at the pioneer homes, native american village, playground, etc. We have always enjoyed the gem digging or gold mining. See the monument and learn about Brigham Young and the other pioneer founders of Salt Lake City. During the first weekend in December they host the German Christkindlmarkt.”

“Downtown SLC high-end shopping mall and restaurants all within a retractable glass roof with trout ponds, a creek, and fountains.”

“The Natural History Museum of Utah is a wonderful family activity or something to do on a cold or rainy day in Salt Lake City. Housed in a spectacular copper-clad concrete building with soaring spaces, the museum has more than 40,000 square feet of displays and educational facilities with 1.6 million objects in its collection. Approximately 5,000 items are on display at any given time, and some of the highlights include the digital globe, dinosaur fossils, and a three-story indoor canyon. There are seven permanent collections including Paleontology, Anthropology, Entomology, Vertebrate Zoology, Mineralogy, Botany, and Malacology (the study of mollusks). The views from the observation deck out across the city and valley are spectacular. Next to the Natural History Museum is Red Butte Garden, a very popular attraction with locals. It's worth a stop if you are visiting in spring. The garden is known for its spring blooms. Address: 301 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City, Utah”

“Lovely gardens to walk around, even in construction! Beautiful lights at night.”

“This place is remarkable. Gorgeous gardens and wonderful exhibits. We visit here several times per year. Also inside Utah's "Central Park" (Liberty Park) which offers some great hanging out.”
