In a world where kids are told to not touch something, it's nice to be welcomed into a place where hands-on experiences are encouraged and welcomed! Discovery Gateway Children's Museum is located in the Gateway Mall in downtown Salt Lake City, and not only will the kids love it, mom and dad will have a great time experiencing everything too!
If you enjoy a good stage production, why not take the opportunity to experience one of Salt Lake City's truly unique performing groups. Plan-B Theatre takes pride in not only presenting a wide range of satirical and comedic entertainment, they almost exclusively spotlight the work of Utah playwrights. Their contagious enthusiasm and magnetic performances set them apart, and they remain one of Salt Lake City's most revered group of thespians.
Utah's Hogle Zoo was founded back in 1931 at the mouth of Emigration Canyon and it remains one of the most visited attractions in Utah. There are over 800 animals in residence. Among the many must-see specimens are the five endangered species of Asian cats, African elephants and white rhinos. And, the little ones will take delight in riding on the Conservation Carousel, featuring hand-painted models of endangered or threatened animals, so it's fun and educational at the same time.
Why not skip the hustle and bustle of staying in a big hotel and opt for the comfort and elegance of the Ellerbeck Mansion Bed and Breakfast? Conveniently located (it's a short 15 minutes from the SL International Airport), you're also within walking distance of downtown. Whether on business or on a romantic getaway, the Ellerbeck is one of Salt Lake's hidden treasures that won't stay a secret for too long.
