Salt Lake City Discovery Gateway

Salt Lake City has a great asset - the UTA Trax system - that you can ride to places through the city.  There is even an area of town that is free to get on and off during the day!  We rode it to the Gateway area that has lots of shopping, restaurants, a large water play area, and our favorite part- Discovery Gateway Museum!

Jack LOVED shopping in the "real" grocery store.  He was quite a shopper!  At the "deli" in the back, Jack made sandwiches for other "customers." His menu offered some interesting sandwich combinations - ham/apples, steak/peas, fish/cheese....His time here gave me some great birthday ideas!!


Henry liked all of it, but he enjoyed operating the crane in the construction area.  He thought it was great to hoist "bricks/blocks" for the workers to make buildings. 


Every area was well-equipped with dress up clothes, pretend play items, etc..  On the roof we played in the air traffic control tower and on the helicopter!


We liked this place so much we went twice in one day!  The pass enabled us to go ALL day so we met Uncle Daniel there after work.  Of course Zoe enjoyed her time at the museum too!
