Summer is an exciting time!
It is a time of freedom, warm weather, water, sunshine and lots of down time. Often time kids get bored and lets me honest mom needs a break outside of the house.
Here is a list of 30+ activities
that can get you off the couch and out of the house almost every day of the summer.
Evergreen Park |
- Go to the Park
- Find a splash pad near by
- EnjoyUtah.org has an awesome list of Splash Pads in Utah
- Seven Peaks water park (Purchasing a PASS OF ALL PASSES is an awesome idea! It is around $40 but it gets you a season pass to Seven Peaks Water Park, Tracy Aviary (on Tuesdays), Seven Peaks fun center, and much more.)
- Tracy Aviary
- $1 on Tuesdays with a Pass of all Passes
- Liberty Park
- After going to the aviary in the morning head to Liberty park for lunch and playtime. There is an awesome playground, splash pad, and a miniature version of the East Mountain canyon lands and rivers with running water.
- Go to the library
- Most libraries have a summer reading program your child can participate in.
- Murray City Library's theme this year is "Every Story has a Hero!" They have all sorts of free activities to go to. Every Monday of July @ 2pm
- Hogle Zoo
- This summer 2015 they have an amazing dinosaur exhibit. Zoorassic Park 2! If you have not been yet! The dinosaurs are amazingly life like.
- Boondocks
- Seven Peaks Fun Center
- Layton City Surf n' Swim
- Herriman City Beach
- Go up the canyon on a Hike
- Utah is one of the number one cities for hiking!
- Park City Alpine Slide, Adventure Zone and Little Miners Park
- We did this last weekend and it was a blast! Eli had so much fun riding on the train, airplane and carousel. For $20 you get an all day pass to ride any ride in the Little Miners Park and Adventure Zone. Eli was just tall enough to ride the carnival rides and go mini golfing. It was still a fun time! For around $15 more you can buy unlimited rides on the alpine slide on coaster, if your child is tall enough.
- Go to Snowbird
- Snowbird is one of my favorite summer locations. My family has a condo up there for a week. There are so many activities for all ages.

- Walk the walking trail to the look out!
- Go to the top floor of the cliff lodge and look down at all the amazing rugs
- Play on the alpine slide, coaster, and other rides.

- Explore Timpanogus Cave
- Go to the local pool
- There are dozens of local pools that only cost a few dollars. I love cottonwood heights and Murray city park.
