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.

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 was literally not another soul on this trail today and being terrified of hiking alone, I was a little skeptical. No need, Nervous Nellie, this easy 1 mile walk is a piece of cake. Would be perfect for kids. Or someone who is trying to avoid work for an hour, let's say. Lots of shade, breezy and no treacherous aspects. Wooded in parts, little streams, flocks of dragonflies. Lizards. Ants. Very well maintained and safe. I went farther than the trail indicated, but not far enough to see if anything really amazing was at the end, before I realized I needed to be in a meeting and high tailed it back to my vehicle. Oops. A few other trails here that looked great too - nice views of the surrounding mountains and valley.

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.
