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.
Liberty Park
This delightful city park has trails for walking and jogging, tennis courts, a small lake with ducks and paddleboat rentals, picnic facilities, a playground, a children's garden, a children's amusement park, a museum, and an excellent aviary. Covering 100 acres, this is a favorite gathering spot for locals, as well as one of the best dog-walking areas in the city (dogs must be leashed and owners must clean up after them). In the park, the Chase Home Museum of Utah Folk Arts (tel. 801/533-5760; www.folkartsmuseum.org), located in the historic Brigham Young/Chase home, contains exhibits of pioneer art, American Indian art, and other folk art. Allow a half hour. Tracy Aviary (tel. 801/322-2473 for recorded information, or 801/596-8500; www.tracyaviary.org), in the southwest section of the park, has more than 400 birds, including a number of endangered species. There's a special exhibit of Australian parrots called lories ($1 extra per person), and free-flying bird shows are presented during the summer (call for schedule). Allow at least 1 hour.
Utah Museum of Fine Arts
This is among the very best art museums in the state, boasting a permanent collection of more than 17,000 objects. Displays might include Greek and Egyptian antiquities, Italian Renaissance works, art by European masters, early American art, 20th century lithographic prints and photography, and art objects from Southeast Asia, China, Japan, and African and pre-Columbian cultures. Changing exhibits highlight shows from other institutions and private collections.
