Several specialty boutiques and antique shops are all easily accessible. Family Fun So much to do, so little time! Your family will run out of steam before you run out of options. The Hogle Zoo, Clark Plantaterium, Lagoon Amusement Park, and the IMAX theater are just a few ways to get started.

There are several options to choose from, depending on how much time you have. Big Cottonwood Canyon This ride is 14-mile long (one way) and offers mountain scenery similar to its neighboring canyon, Little Cottonwood. As in Little Cottonwood, there are picnic areas and campgrounds and access to numerous hiking trails. The ski resorts of Solitude and Brighton are at the top of the canyon.

Pioneer Memorial Scenic Backway This historic route follows the original path of the Donner-Reed Expedition of 1846. It ascends through Emigration Canyon east of Salt Lake City and then descends to Highway 65. It ends at the 680-acre East Canyon Reservoir, which is popular for boating, fishing, water skiing, and swimming. It is closed in the winter months. Estimated time is 1 hour.

More Sites If you are going to visit Utah during the winter months, the single best thing to do is go skiing! There are seven resorts within 30-45 minutes of Salt Lake City.

The shows are generally between 50-60 minutes long, and they suggest that you get there at last 20 minutes beforehand. There are many fun and interesting exhibits to enjoy while you wait. The Hogle Zoo is another fun family activity in Salt Lake City. They have many different animals, shows and exhibits. It is an affordable option, as zoo admission prices are usually low to accommodate families. The Zoo offers train rides, food and an excellent gift shop. Another attraction featuring animals is the Tracy Aviary. They have over 400 different birds, many of which are rare or endangered species. Their live bird shows are interactive and so informative, yet never boring, even for small children. Again, admission fees are priced affordably for families. If you are interested in history and museums, Salt Lake offers some wonderful choices. One of these is Wheeler Historic Farm.

This is an excellent way to find out more about the past and present of this state. The Childrens Museum of Utah offers the most hands-on and kid-friendly things to do in one place. This is perfect for an afternoon of inclement weather. For a few dollars per person, kids can discover activities about animals, colors, size, transportation, food etc. In this museum, everything is made to be touched by little hands!
