The Puppy Lounge for Little Dogs

Check out the collection of ancient objects and natural artifacts housed at the Utah Museum of Natural History. The museum is home to various pieces of history like crystallized minerals, bones from the extinct Giant Short-faced Bear, and a fossilized trilobite arthropod, all dating back thousands of years if not more. On your walk through the museum, you'll also see Native American artifacts like moccasins, gloves, bowls, baskets, and more.

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.
