High Jump

Image
High Jump in West Jordan is the perfect place for kids of all ages to play, run, jump, climb, slide, and get all of their energy out. It is filled with different types of inflatable obstacle courses, slides, and bounce houses. The floor is soft and they have big tumbling mats perfect for little ones to sit and crawl on. There are two trampolines, a climbing wall with a big slide and tons of space to run around. There are big soft blocks of different shapes and sizes to build with and balls to play with. If you get hungry from all of that running around they have a small snack bar that sells drinks, chips, candy and pizza. High Jump offers tumbling and cheerleading classes and they also have themed rooms for birthday parties. Mon-Thur it is $9 for an all day pass. Fri and Sat it is $12 for an all day pass. Ages 2 and under are free and Parents are free. A lot of trampoline parks charge by the hour so I like that it is one price to play as long as you want. Check out their website  ...

Jordan River Rotary Park

Jordan River Rotary Park in Draper is another park I really like. This park is located at the Jordan River Parkway Trailhead. It is a perfect place to stop and play after a walk or bike ride on the trail. The playground is wheelchair accessible. The ramp also makes it easy for little kids to get on the playground without having to climb stairs. The playground has lots of slides and two swings. The park has 4 individual covered pavilions with tables to sit at. It also has clean restrooms. The address for this park is 973 W 12300 S Draper Utah.

Loveland Living Planet Aquarium

Image
My kids love the aquarium and so do I. Whenever we are feeling cooped up or the boys are getting wild and need to burn some energy we head to the aquarium and they never get tired of it. We have a membership and it is definitely worth it. In the heat of the summer it is relaxing to walk through the cool air conditioned exhibits and it is warm and cozy in the winter. There is so much to see at the aquarium. Some of our favorite exhibits are the otters, the jelly fish, the penguins, the leopards, the rope bridge, Nemo and Dory, the stingrays, and the sharks.   The best part for the kids is the Tuki's Island play area. The play area alone is worth the money in my opinion. The kids always have a great time and never want to leave. They have a huge multi story play area for big kids. There is a medium sized play area for little kids. They even have a tiny play area for little babies and toddlers. There are benches, tables, and couches for parents to sit and...

Salt Lake County Libraries

For me one of the best things about moving to Salt Lake county was being able to get a Salt Lake county library card. If you live in Salt Lake county and don't have a library card you should go get one right away. With your library card you are able to check things out from all 18 Salt Lake libraries. Between all of these libraries you can find pretty much any book, movie, t.v. series, etc you can think of. The best thing about it is you can do it all online. Just go to their  website  and create an account. Once you have an account you can find whatever you want to check out and request to hold it. Once you request to hold something they will send it to the library of your choice to be picked up and then they will email you when it is ready. This makes is so quick and easy to just pick out anything you want online and then go in and pick it up when it is ready without having to search the shelves for anything. You can keep track of due dates and renew everything online too. ...

Ivory Ridge Splash Pad

Image
This is my new favorite splash pad for two reasons. First it has a huge covered pavilion with about twelve big tables so you can sit in the shade. Second it is small enough that you can see the entire thing from the shaded tables so you can watch your kids the whole time without having to move. We like to bring our lunch and eat and then I can feed the baby while keeping an eye on both of the older kids. They have clean restrooms with a diaper changing station. There is also a playground on the other side of the pavilion. You can see the whole playground from the tables as well. This makes it very convenient when you are trying to keep track of multiple kids. Ivory Ridge Splash Pad 3200 N 560 W Lehi Utah.
