Food Scene

People go out of their way to get the Italian Village's Pizza Benders. Casual sit down restaurant. Can be loud and crowded. Might want to order ahead and pick up your food if it's a weekend.

Let's face it, Salt Lake isn't known for it's fresh fish, but if you have a hankering for some sushi, Itto will usually hit the spot without breaking the bank. Try the firebird... it's our favorite.

If you are looking for a nice restaurant, Franck's is the place to go. It isn't cheap, nor is it very kid-friendly, but the food here is pretty amazing - especially the appetizers. Try the tomato pie and the brussels sprouts . If you don't love them, I'll refund your money!

Parks & Nature

This lake next to Brighton Ski resort has a boardwalk and trail all the way around it. Great for an outdoor adventure in the summer with the kids or if you're looking for a wheelchair accessible hike. This isn't accessible if there is still snow in the mountains.

Have kids but wanna get into the mountains? Try Lisa Falls. This is a short (.25 miles) and kid-friendly hike with a fun waterfall at the end. Pack some snacks and let the kids play in the pools at the base of the waterfall.

This is our favorite hike in Utah. It is a pretty steep hike and guaranteed to make you sweat! 3.5 miles in and 3.5 miles out with a consistent climb the whole way. Try it any time from late spring to autumn... it will blow your mind!

Entertainment & Activities

Brighton is our favorite Ski Resort. This resort has the best snow (far better than Park City) and is also one of the cheapest resorts. If you find yourself night skiing/snowboarding, Brighton has the most well-lit terrain. Also a great place to go for some fantastic hiking trails.

Arts & Culture

If you'd like to get to know the history of Salt Lake City or Mormonism, this is the spot to go. Beyond the historical element, the grounds are beautifully cared for. If you are visiting between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve, you have to see the light display at Temple Square! It is amazing!

If you need to rent some ski gear while in the Salt Lake area, The Lifthouse is our suggestion. Great service, affordable prices, and easy access. Save yourself some money and rent gear here rather than the ski resort itself.
