Gather your family and pack your bags. From national parks to scenic golf courses, from Historic Temple Square, to spa vacations and extreme adventure, Utah will surprise you with its versatility.
Utah offers a variety of places to see and things to do. Venture to Alpine and visit the Peppermint Place, a candy factory offering tours and samples, or ride the Alpine Slide at Park City Mountain Resort, sweeping 3,000 feet down the mountainside. Visitors to Utah are never at a loss for fun and adventure.
Child-friendly offerings range from specialty museums, hikes, theater, and events, to places to cool off, or get a fun snack.
Utah is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts! You can ski or snowboard on what is known as the “Greatest Snow on Earth.” There’s also mountain biking on Slickrock, whitewater rafting down Cataract Canyon and visiting outlaw hideouts on Old West tours. Utah has adventure waiting for you.
There are many museums waiting to catch your eye and spark your interest in Utah's heritage and culture. In addition to heritage museums, many cities have Daughters of the Utah Pioneers museums. These eclectic collections include wonderful treasures.
From settlement days forward, Utahns have actively supported the performing arts as opportunities for entertainment, education, and enlightenment. Nearly every city and community has amateur performing companies, or access to performances through the state's colleges and universities. Though based in Salt Lake City, Ballet West and Utah Symphony and Opera perform throughout the state. Elsewhere, the popular Utah Shakespearean Festival has put Cedar City on the cultural map.
Millions of years ago, dinosaurs rumbled across the landscape of what is now Utah. Thousands of remnants of this prehistoric era are carefully preserved and interpreted in sites, museums and quarries across the state, awaiting your discovery.
If it's shopping you want, it's shopping Utah’s got. If the skiing, hiking, biking, rafting, golfing, fishing, and hunting aren't enough for you, then maybe our shopping can fill your adventurous appetite. Utah has every kind of shopping you can think of -- malls, outlets, antiques, crafts, and much more. Take a day or two to peruse Utah's shops for great merchandise at even greater prices.
