Free events pass

SLC Library offers a steal deal for SLC library cardholders. Once every 6 month, you can pick up a pass that will get you into the Children's Museum, the Art Museum, the Natural History Museum, and Red Butte Garden for FREE! And not just you, but 3 other people, too.

All you have to do is go to the checkout desk on the first day of the month and ask for a community events pass. Each SLC library only has I believe 8 passes, so go early. Fun and FREE!

Discovery Gateway

Discovery Gateway is a lot of fun for kids of all different ages. The bottom floor is geared for toddler and preschoolers, while the upper floors have lots of things to do for elementary school kids. My kids LOVE it.

Tickets are kind of pricey. For locals over the age of one, admission is $8.50. You get a wrist band, which allows you to leave and come back. Their memberships begin at $115 for 4 people. Don't forget, you are still paying for parking, too (although they do have discounted parking tickets.

My overall opinion: Love it, but way overpriced. However, it's a really fun place to go during bad winter days. I just don't want to think about all of the germs that my kids picked up chewing on the toys.

Free days: 5-9pm of the first Monday of each month, but call first because they only have it if they have a sponsor.
