George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park — Ogden, UT
If you think dinosaurs are dino-mite, then you don’t want to miss the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park in Ogden, UT!
Dinosaur Park is an exciting opportunity to wander into the prehistoric past and imagine what the earth (and Utah) was like when dinosaurs roamed freely. It’s not quite Jurassic Park (and considering how that turned out that’s a good thing!) but you can see and hear more than 100 dinosaurs. Read the rest of George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park — Ogden, UT »
Fairies and dragons, princesses and knights held court Saturday, May 3, 2008 at the Fairy Tale Ball at the Children’s Treehouse Museum in Ogden, UT. Hosted this year by King Arthur and Queen Guinevere, guests were invited to dress up in ball attire or as their favorite storybook characters, and were treated to dessert, live music, and a performance by puppeteer Randel McGee and his tame dragon, Groark. 
As a former competitive ballroom dancer, I love watching shows like “Dancing with the Stars”. But until recently, I had no idea that there were stars dancing in my own backyard.The 160-member BYU Ballroom Dance Company is the largest collegiate dance program in the world. Artistic directors Lee and Linda Wakefield are former U.S. Theater Arts Champions, and it shows! The BYU Ballroom Dance Company has been undefeated in the U.S. National Formation Dance Championships since 1982. 
We went to Payson City Memorial Park today. It’s a quaint little town park that makes you feel like your back in the 50’s, why you ask? 
Oh what an adventure we had today! Originally, a friend and I had decided that we were going to go spend the day up Payson Canyon. Sadly though, it was closed, something I wasn’t expecting at all. Since that plan failed, and we were all out and about, we went in search of something else to do and we arrived at the Peteetneet Academy and Museum in Payson, Utah. I was a little worried that I would be bored because I am generally not a history fan, but I was in for a good surprise. 
If Holland is just a bit too far to travel for an afternoon, you can discover the beauty of tulips in full bloom a little closer to home. At the third annual Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point Gardens in Lehi, UT, you can see 250,000 bulbs in glorious bloom over 55 stunning acres of estate gardens. Running from April 11-28, the Tulip Festival also offers live entertainment, gardening demonstrations, a photography contest, arts and crafts vendors…and unmatched beauty. 
Salem Pond is a beautiful family friendly location, as long as you keep an eye on the tots as you are next to open water. My family and I have been there several times so it has become a favorite of ours. 
I woke up today wanting to play tennis. Where can we play tennis? Spanish Fork Sports Complex! So off we go. The park is located at 295 West Volunteer Drive in Spanish Fork (just off Main Street). Take the Main Street exit off I-15 and go a few miles south, turn right, and you’re there. 
Off Highway 89, in the last place you would think a park would be, is Bicentennial Park. Greatly due to the fact that there is run down industry all around the park, it often gets passed without a second glance. I personally think it’s a great park as I have been there many times.
