Pretty much down and dirty typical family farm in the middle of SLC

Beautiful grounds well maintained. Perfect for family photo. Be prepared to pay a fee of you want a professional shoot (Friend or hired). You can feed the ducks, go on a wagon ride and pet the animals. Small farm like atmosphere.

A children's farm-like park with a Chore Tour to help feed the farm animals and milk the cows, and horse-drawn hayrides.
