Places to go

Restaurants, parks, museums and more: places you can go most days, with no date to catch. Pick a category; the number on each is how many places it has with the choices you have made.

We can put the nearest ones first and tell you how far each one is. Nothing here is sorted by distance until you say where you are measuring from.

playground · Bluffdale

Some details are not confirmed yet.

The best playground in the south valley and the one worth driving past closer ones for: a big climbing structure, a zip line, and a splash pad that runs roughly May to September. The lot fills by late morning on a hot Saturday, and there is almost no shade over the water, so go early or come back after four.

Freeabout 2 hours · ages 1–12

2920 West 14000 South, Bluffdale, UT 84065

planetarium · Salt Lake City

in The Gateway

Some details are not confirmed yet.

The exhibit floor costs nothing, which makes it a genuine free option rather than a ticketed one with a free corner.

Freeindoors · about 2 hours · ages 4–90

110 South 400 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84101

pool · Herriman

Some details are not confirmed yet.

A sandy swimming beach in the middle of a neighbourhood, with water shallow enough at the edge for small children. The catch is parking: the lot closes once it is full on summer weekends and nearby street parking is restricted, so arrive before ten or plan to walk in.

Freeabout 2.5 hours · ages 3–70

15000 S Ashland Ridge Dr, Herriman, UT 84096

Illustration
playground · South Jordan

Newer and much bigger than a neighbourhood park, with a splash pad and shaded pavilions you can actually sit under. Quieter than Wardle Fields for the same kind of afternoon.

Freeabout 1.5 hours · ages 1–12

farm · Murray

Some details are not confirmed yet.

Animals and open ground, and free to simply walk around.

Freeabout 2 hours · ages 1–70

6351 South 900 East, Murray, UT 84121

splash pad · Riverton

Some details are not confirmed yet.

Shade is limited. Best before noon on a hot day.

Freeabout 60 minutes · ages 1–10

1452 W 12600 S, Riverton, UT 84065

Illustration
library · Salt Lake City

Worth visiting as a building, not just a library: a spiral walkable roof, a glass atrium and a children's floor with its own small rooms. Free, warm, and open on Sundays when most alternatives are not.

Freeindoors · about 1.5 hours · up to age 90

library · Riverton

Some details are not confirmed yet.

Free, warm, and open when almost nothing else is. Runs its own children's programmes, which the library events source picks up separately.
