Summer is approaching and you’re probably looking for some fun things to do. You can’t let all that sunshine go to waste! We made a list of some fun things to do in SLC this upcoming Summer. Check out our list of places to visit, and plan some of these activities for your Summer.
1. Great Salt Lake State Park
Summertime is perfect for being outdoors and enjoying your favorite outdoor activities. Great Salt Lake State Park has some fun outdoor activities for you. Enjoy the lake views and check current boating access before you visit. Great Salt Lake is too salty to support fish. If you’re looking for something not on the water, there are places to camp, hike, and mountain bike.
2. This is the Place Heritage Park
This is the Place Heritage Park is a place where your kids can enjoy part of their Summer. Pony rides, train rides to tour the village, panning for gold, and food! There are many activities to choose from that will keep your kids entertained for hours. Bring your kids to the candy or donut shops and give them enough energy to wear themselves out. Also stop by the gift shop at the visitors center to get your souvenirs!
