The Gale Center was a great place for my four kids and I to spend a rainy morning to learn some…read morelocal history and play. The hands on experience in the playrooms was my children's favorite, as it made the history we read about come alive. My kids are 2, 6, and 9. The play areas are definitely designed more for the 5-6 and under crowd, but we all had fun. All my children loved the walk through mine experience and the model train exhibit. We just had to ask a staff member to turn it on, and the kids were thrilled! As a family we spent about an hour there, it could have been longer if my little ones had more stamina. The staff had organized a cute scavenger hunt activity which was lots of fun!

Did you know that the city of South Jordan gets some crazy wind? In fact, the Gale Center Museum…read morewas named after the gale force winds that the city encounters. That was one of the many bites of trivia that I learned on my most recent visit to the museum. This museum has a modest amount of historical artifacts on display-done in a creative way that resembles your grandma's house. There are also some interactive exhibits where kids can play with the food in the grocery store, dress up in the small house or walk through a coal mine cave. It's really well done and is a nice place to poke your creativity. There's no fee to enter the museum and there's plenty of parking. Make it a day and bring the kids for some fun!

Small and mighty is the theme for Hutchings. Small, unassuming, but it packs a punch showing…read morevarious exhibits covering all sorts of topics. Such punches include a large room full of various gems that can somewhat hold a torch to the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles, a room full of live reptiles, historical exhibits covering native Ute's, and even a small veteran's room covering some of those service folks from Utah. It's small, but it definitely packs a punch and a nice visit if you're in the area.

Great stop especially if you have the Get Out Pass. A little bit of everything Including a few live…read moreanimals. Some things are hands on. Great gift shop. Lots of parking. Friendly staff :)

This experience has been pretty hit or miss…read more There have been times where there's butterflies all over the place and you can get one to land on your finger pretty easily. However, other times our kids are pretty deflated because there are hardly any, and those that are there all look the same or are well out of reach. It's still fun to check out, but only if you have the pass to all the attractions. I wouldn't pay to just visit this one

Pretty cool experience for kids. It's really neat seeing the butterflies whiz all around you and…read moreeven land on you. Will definitely be back! *Side note parents please don't allow your children to hurt these beautiful beings! We saw children screaming, chasing and harassing the butterflies that were within reach. So unnecessary!

There's no doubt that this is a really cool and large dinosaur museum…read more It's littered with activities for the kids and quite a bit to look at. Unfortunately, id probably say it's currently one of my least favorite activities at thanksgiving point. Probably due to the age of my kids. They are 2 and 4 , and don't quite enjoy themselves as much here like they do at the Jurassic jungle or the museum of natural curiosity. Even if you have younger kids though, it's still a decent place to spend part of your day, especially if you have the annual pass and want to change things up.
