During your Salt Lake City vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Wheeler Historic Farm
This living-history dairy farm, where you can see demonstrations of farming and other activities from the late 19th century, contains hundred-year-old farm buildings, a small petting zoo, and a nature preserve. Activities include experiencing various farm chores, such as egg gathering and cow milking, farm house tours, and tractor-driven wagon rides. Allow 1 to 2 hours. A variety of annual events are also offered, including a scarecrow masquerade, a holiday lights festival, breakfast with Santa, and a summer camp week.
Governor's Mansion
Silver magnate Thomas Kearns built this palatial home in 1898, sparing no expense to make it as lavish as possible. African and Italian marble and exotic woods from around the world were used extensively throughout. Kearns' widow deeded it to the state in 1937, and the 36-room mansion is now the governor's residence. It suffered a devastating fire just before Christmas 1993, but has been fully restored to its 1902 appearance (1902 was the year that Kearns and his family first moved in). The best time to see the mansion is in December, when it's elaborately decorated for Christmas. Allow about half an hour.
Gallivan Center
Some call this Salt Lake City's outdoor living room. You'll find intimate spaces, performances, food, all kinds of characters and activities, and good vantage points for watching the goings-on. Wander through the large art exhibit and the gigantic outdoor chessboard with waist-high pieces, and enjoy the pond, amphitheater, outdoor ice skating rink (call for hours and rates), and aviary. Allow 30 minutes.
