Things to do with kids
My 3 year old favorite place to be on any day! We kids of all ages enjoying their time here, but would say kids 2-8 would have the most fun! If you’re visiting the area with little ones, it is a must visit!
St. George Children’s Museum
Fire Lake is the best way to spend a hot summer day in St. George, especially if you have kids! There’s so much to be done, from kayaking to fishing you really can do so much. Free and beautiful!
Ivins Reservoir
Such a fun place to beat the heat! It does have a dedicated 3 and under area which is nice for the more timid and smaller ones. Wash your hands before you leave 😅 and you’ll have a great rest of your vacation! Great for kids of all ages 🎉
Confetti Kids Club
Such a fun way to spend some time with the family! While you won’t win every time, they definitely make it so you’ll get your monies worth! My 3 year old is obsessed and asks to go back at least once a week.
The Claw Vault
Fiesta fun is one of the OG places to play in St. George! They have tons of fun arcade games, bowling, laser tag, go carts, bumper boats, minis golf, and more! We love to rent out the back room for our family. They have food on site as well so you ca...
Fiesta Fun Family Fun Center
If you’re looking for a more low key arcade vibe, this is the place to go! A little smaller then fiesta fun but has its own fun to be had! Their Laser Tag is my favorite in town, if you have older kids I highly recommend!
Laser Mania Family Fun Center
While the Whiptail trail has many small hills, it is my favorite ‘hike’ to take my 3 year old on. She’ll take her strider bike or I’ll bring her stroller and we always have a great time. The path is paved and if you go early enough many of it is shad...

Thunder Junction all abilities park is so much fun! There truly is something for kids of all ages and abilities to do. There is a small splash pad and a real train that goes around the park! We always love getting to spend time here!
Thunder Junction All Abilities Park
Granadas pond is such a fun way to spend a few hours! You can go fishing, there’s disc golf, a fun playground, and a lovely path around the pond to walk. We love to come out here for a fun picnic.
Grandpa's Pond Park
Glitter Mountain is such a fun way to spend an hour or two with the kiddos! You will for sure leave with some special treasures that your kids will cherish forever! 4 wheel drive is recommended and not too much of a walk to start digging!

Eat like a local
If you only eat at one place in St. George, I beg it is this food truck! Genuinely some of the best food I’ve had and I backpacked through Asia. You can find where they are located on their Instagram. The owners and everybody who works there are so k...
Noodles & Dumplings Co.
Berries n Cream is one of my favorite local places to get a sweet treat when I’m not feeling anything too crazy. The fruit is always SO fresh and they have such fun and yummy topping options. I also love that the front is filled of local made goodies...
Berries-n-Cream St. George
My FAVORITE place to get sushi in town!!! And has been for years. Fun fact, my husband started his proposal to me at Benjas 😍😭 because it has just always been my favorite and we’ve spent many meals together there. If you’re looking for the best sus...

If you’re looking for local, come here! The Bear Paw Cafe has been a local favorite for many years. They have such a fun and delicious menu that is worth waiting for.

FeelLove Cafe is simply ✨the✨ place to get coffee in Ivins. The vibe is perfect, the coffee is great, and DON’T get me started on the blueberry lemon scones 🤤
Cafe Feellove
One of my favorite places for a good reason! The food is always incredible and the atmosphere of the new building is truly unmatched.
Sakura Japanese Steakhouse
Street Eats has recently relocated, expanded their menu, and blown my mind! I thought it was good before but they took their move into a bigger building as a serious level up! Fun, unique food that will have you asking to try everybody else’s food du...

Hikes the locals love
Kanaraville Falls is such a beautiful hike, while it is in southern it is about 45 minutes outside of St. George. It is worth the drive 100%. You will get wet, so be prepared for that. You also must purchase a ticket, as only a certain amount of peop...
