Check out the “Greatest snow on earth”

Discover Utah’s unique history

Step back in time at This is the Place Heritage Park and see how Utah settlers lived in the early 19th century. Walk the streets and interact with history as you never have before: ride the replica train, watch the black smiths demonstrate how to make tools, and take a stroll around Sanctuary Walk to view the various monuments and sculptures.

Uncover rich heritage

Visit the beautiful gardens, religious art and buildings, Church History Museum, and more.

And don’t forget to visit the Family History Library—the largest genealogical records library in the world. Let one of the library’s full-time staff members or volunteers help you find exciting family stories.

Shop and dine at Salt Lake’s finest
