(fun things to do in Salt Lake City)

Hogle Zoo

Utah’s Hogle Zoo dates from 1931 (I know its been there since I was a kid! For one of my [family year/ not party year] birthday celebrations we went to the zoo and then after we ate at the Hotel Utah.*) and is located at the mouth of Emigrations Canyon. Its natural terrain covers 42 acres of tree-lined pathways where visitors can view over 800 animals.
