Family Fun Tour Itinerary

You’ll need a week to do it all!

Day 1:

Lagoon Park – Parents can relax at the water park or join the younger set on all of the rides. Grandparents will want to watch the live shows and explore Pioneer Village. Lagoon is “where the fun is” and it really deserves two days to do it all!

Day 2:

Cherry Hill Resort – Start by testing your skills on the 30 foot pinnacle of the climbing wall, swinging in the batting cages or bouncing around with Aeroball. The youngest children can climb through the nets and tunnels of the Playport. Cool off with the water slides, Pirates Cove Activity Pool or the Olympic sized pool. Stop at the restaurant for dinner then slow down with a round of minature golf.

Day 3:

Beaches and Bisons – Utah’s version of the ocean, the Great Salt Lake, has 16 – 18% salt content, making it easy to float in the water. Relaxing on the white sandy beaches of Antelope Island and watching the kids kayak and float make a pleasant day. Convenient showers wash away the salt before taking off to discover the wildlife roaming free on the island. Whether renting a bike, taking a guided horseback ride or a guided Wildlife Safari tour, hiking the 25 miles of trails or just driving to the Historic Fielding Garr Ranch, bison, birds and other wildlife wander within view. Order a buffalo burger at Buffalo Point and linger for the spectacular sunsets over the lake.

Day 4:

Trains, Planes and Speed Racing – Start with the newest attraction, S & S Shortline Railroad. Ride the miniature trains, then venture to the 1920 freight station replica for the train exhibits and a snack at the old fashioned soda fountain. Over 70 planes are the star attraction of Hill Aerospace Museum, including the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane and a B-17 Flying Fortress. Next, it's onto Union Station to be awed by the model railroad exhibit depicting the transcontinental railroad route. Union Station has collections for everyone in the family – gems and minerals, antique cars, guns, trains and even art. End the day with kids 14 and older racing each other in go carts at the Speed Street Indoor Raceway.

Day 5 – 7:

Take your choice – There is still so much left to explore! Make choices depending on the family’s interest. Younger children will delighted with either the Children’s Museum of Utah or Ogden’s Treehouse Museum. Eccles Dinosaur Park combines learning with fun, featuring over 70 life-sized dinosaurs and a hands-on museum. For nature lovers, combine Hogle Zoo and Tracy Avairy. Finally, Clark Planetarium depicts the night skies and has an IMAX theater.
