Things to do with kids- Northern Utah
This place created core memories for me. Little sneak peak, playground, dig for fossils, and so much more.
Ogden's George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park
I’ll be honest, I haven’t been to very many other zoos. But this one has a huge variety of animals and they have a little splash pad and playground.
Utah's Hogle Zoo
This is a really big aquarium in Draper, Utah! Lots of fun fish and other aquatic animals to take your kids to see.
Loveland Living Planet Aquarium
This such a fun amusement park! Rollercoasters of all varieties to try!
Lagoon Amusement Park
Depending on the season there are SO many different fun activities going on all the time!
Thanksgiving Point
May not be as amazing as I remember from when I was a kid. I haven’t been in years but growing up it was my favorite place to spend a summer day!
Cherry Hill Water Park
This can be super fun with kids, or for a date! There is a ropes course, or tubing, there is a rollercoaster thing and you can even watch some skiers practice flips into their pool!
Utah Olympic Park
This place is a kids dream, there is so much to do, and such a great way to spend a day.
Treehouse Children's Museum

Swig Drinks — Soda Shop Near You
i personally prefer my dirty sodas from fiiz over swig! but dirty soda is a must have
FiiZ Drinks
This is nothing super special or unique. However, living in a place without it… i’ve missed my sweet pork salads. It’s definitely a yummy place to try!

Not specific to just Utah, but definitely a staple burger to try. Super cheap and super yummy!

A Utah started brand, another yummy treat to try on your travels
