The Sunflower festival at CrossERanch is only in the fall, watch their site for dates and discounts but it is amazing! It's a maze of flowers, the kids always love it, and usually they offer fun activities they can do!
Cross E Ranch
The arcade can get expensive fast, but if you go on one of their deal days, or hours, it's actually a really good price! They have a bunch of mini games like Golf and go carts and wall climbing.

Great Salt Lake State Park - Visitor Information
Even if you're not a fan of the church yourself, personally, I go to see it for reasons not related to the church at all. The building itself really is beautiful. A lot of work went into it, BUT the best parts are the night lights and the gardens dur...
Temple Square
Chuck e cheese! I have had several birthday parties here for her kids, and it was under 500$ the arcade itself. It's still not a bad deal to just go have fun! Personally, I get sucked into the crane machine!
