10 Fun Activities & Games in Utah That You Shouldn't Miss

February 19, 2022 Weston Hennigan

Welcome to “The Greatest Snow on Earth” – Utah’s paradise for all outdoor enthusiasts! As host of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Park City knows how to entertain winter fun seekers. Snowboarders and skiers head for miles of spectacular slopes with deep fluffy powder and breathtaking mountain views. The Olympic Park provides family-friendly ski programs, rides and shows. Alta, Sundance, Snowbird and Brighton are other popular destinations for cross country and Alpine skiers. Those alluring snowy slopes turn to rolling wildflower fields in the summer. Golfing, fishing, horseback riding and water sports replace chilly outdoor sports adventures. Corral the family, pack a picnic and catch one of the ski lifts for an afternoon of hiking or mountain biking along scenic trails. Head to Salt Lake City, where Temple Square hosts millions of visitors a year. Bryce Canyon and Arches National Park are famous for surreal landscapes from horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters to unusual rock formations and hundreds of natural sandstone arches. Closer to home, wander along the quaint main streets of mountain villages to browse, shop and enjoy lunch at an outdoor café. At the end of the day, head home for an outdoor barbecue and an evening of games. Home rentals blend privacy, space and comfort with the cost-saving advantage of eating some meals at home.

Thunder Junction All Abilities Park

Reviewed By angelacN5951LT - Heber City, United States

This park is completely awesome. We took our 4 year old grandson and had an amazing time. My husband and I have travelled worldwide and this is the best free public park we have ever visited for children of all ages and abilities. Safe, clean and all areas in excellent condition. Kudos to St. George for providing this park to the public free of charge.

All Together Playground

Reviewed By KayeN675 - Provo, United States

This has quickly become our favorite playground in the area. The features are built so that adults can also ride with the kids - it's so much fun! Leave your cell phones behind and play! Someone put a lot of thought into this place - it's inviting for all ages and capabilities. It does get crowded in the summer but we've been even in the winter! We just bundled up and went. Thanks to whoever came up with this park - it's wonderful!

Our first section is a children's activity pool complete with water slide, water jets, waterfall, lily pads, whirlpool, and a small warm water lap pool. Our other section is a full sized lap swimming pool with diving boards and in-water climbing wall. He have a full playground out back with sand volleyball court and grass lawn, and barbecue hour.

We really enjoyed the pool area. I like how many areas they have for younger kids. My son loved the jungle theme and all the fun animals to climb on. Everything is well kept up and it is reasonably priced. We'll definitely come here to swim again. Great experience.

Veyo Pool & Crawdad Canyon

Reviewed By 974jennaw

Our family comes to Veyo every year and the improvements made over that last few years have been incredible. There are new secure bridges over the creek, major improvements to the snack shack (including Veyo Pie shakes and souvenir cups with free refills) and the bathrooms are great. Hot water for showers, mirrors, lots of changing stalls. The rock climbing is fantastic, the pool is always the perfect temperature and the river makes for a peaceful nights sleep.
