We luckies arrived at 10:55-just in time for the hourly spray! The geyser erupted for about ten minutes--sulphuric smells, oh my--but was neat, with little viewing niches off the walkway. If you get a space here, you too may get sulphuric mist getting on you. Yes, the sidewalk is a bit wet from those eruptions, and minerals crust the walkways and eruption area. So pull over in this unique spot. The cemetery behind the park was unaffected but the eruption. For the living there are public bathrooms on the way out of the park in case that ten-minute water spray inspires the need.

Yes I can see it having hot surfaces on really sunny days, but there are also places in park that are shaded for kids (tire swing under play platform, the shuttle kids can climb, lemonade stand...). The story behind the park is so amazing. The one thing I've noticed since going is one of slides is missing the ending piece so it kind of drops off. That being said I've seen children navigate it just fine.

They even have a new official lacrosse field, I think, at the far southeast end. I saw them practicing but didn't walk over there to verify it. It's an oddly laid out, meandering park due to various additions over the decades, and much of it is hidden from the road. Frequented by locals, it can get busy, but the kids love all the other kids to play with. I just wish they had more full grown trees in the newer areas for us parents to relax under..maybe a cork tree for when I feel like smelling the flowers like Ferdinand.

Although the original Jupiter and No. 119 locomotives were scrapped long ago, the replicas built in the 1970s are impressive. The replica locomotives are brightly painted, beautifully detailed, and a highlight of the park. The museum's exhibits do a great job explaining the engineering challenges, cultural impact, and enormous effort involved in connecting the United States by railroad. When you stand outside in this remote, rugged landscape, it underscores how difficult building this railroad must have been. Overall, Golden Spike National Historical Park is an educational and memorable stop for history enthusiasts, families, or anyone exploring northern Utah.

I recalled this place being mentioned in history classes a few times in school. I didn't know if…read moreI'd ever be close enough to merit stopping by, though. This spot is located within 90 minutes of downtown Salt Lake City, to the northwest. Once you get off I-15 and travel about 5 miles, there is basically nothing more along the route for the next 10 - 15 miles until you reach this site. They have a visitors' center with the standard features - park rangers, a short introductory film, a gift shop, restrooms, etc. I don't know how much it costs as we were there with a couple who got free entry for our party. I'm sure you can look on the website for this info. Beyond the visitors' center is the site itself, along with 2 locomotives. What I did not know was that on the anniversary of the original ceremony (sometime in May) and on Saturdays during 'the summer', they do reenactments of the original festivities. I think they do this twice on Saturdays. We happened to be there for the 1 p.m. 'show'. They have some people dressed up in period costumes and invite some of the kids from the audience to put on light 'cowboy attire' as well to help out. They then fire up both engines and back them up and bring them back to the original position. It was interesting to seem them running. At the end, they invite anyone in the crowd who is interested to pose for a replica photo of the original one from the ceremony. The National Park Service then posts this on their website a few days later. If you like history and don't mind the drive, this is a fun side trip. I'd definitely recommend looking up the times and visiting on a day when they are running the locomotives. The closest place with a lot of choices for eating (other than just fast food) is probably Ogden, which is just under an hour away.

There's mountain views from every angle, wildlife, super relaxing hot springs, a water park, lots of little shops and restaurants, and a lovely river running through it all! We came for a short family vacation during spring break March 2023 specifically to visit the hot springs and it's SO worth it! We even saw wild turkeys walking around haha! The hot springs are perfect for winter! But they also have winter sports available too. In summer they have a water park and even have tubing along the small rapids on the Portneuf River that runs through town. The town is small but has several dining options and cafes and shops - plenty of choice to keep you happy. The people were warm, welcoming and so friendly. My son lives in Salt Lake City and it's not too long of a drive to get here - they come here often so I'm sure I'll be back! Highly recommend!

Little kids love feeding the ducks and geese or wading in the shallows, while older kids often cliff jump on the south side or off the bridge. Some even canoe and kayak here.

They really should have rerouted the roads and expanded this park long ago..bring back the volleyball, add a nice pavilion, bring in loads of sand and expand it to a proper beach. Oh well, I'll enjoy it as is.
