Mad Science of Greater Salt Lake

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!

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.

For every aspiring Billy Joel or Elton John, there's the temporary dream of having everyone's attention as you belt out your favorite song in front of a captive audience. The Tavernacle Social Club is a dueling piano bar that makes that dream come true, if only for a little while! You'll love the entertainment here.
