    If you're into hidden history and Old West vibes, Silver Reef Ghost Town is one of the coolest…read morestops in Southern Utah--and honestly, it feels like stepping straight into a movie set. We stopped here not expecting much, but it completely surprised us. This wasn't just any ghost town--it was once a booming mining town in the late 1800s with over 1,500-2,000 people, all chasing silver that was somehow found in sandstone (which is basically unheard of). Walking through the area, you can still see preserved buildings like the old Wells Fargo office and other remnants that give you a real glimpse into what life was like back then. The museum is small but packed with artifacts, and the guided tour adds a lot of context to the experience. What really makes this place stand out though is the setting. You've got these insane red rock cliffs surrounding the town, so it doesn't just feel historic--it's actually beautiful too. There are also trails nearby if you want to explore a little more. Overall, Silver Reef feels like a hidden gem that most people drive right past. It's quick, unique, and surprisingly fascinating. If you're anywhere near St. George or Zion, it's 100% worth the stop.

    Cool little ghost town. Well maintained, very clean. Clear paths to walk on. Each exhibit is marked…read moreso you can go in order 1, 2, 3, etc. Quiet, deserted, adjacent to a high end neighborhood. Beautiful grounds which include yucca trees, cactus, and sagebrush. Great off the beaten path place to be still and look around. I really got a sense of good energy from there. Very cool. So goon set his drone out to follow me, buzzed behind my car guessing to get a plate, buzzed me a couple times....I flipped it off a 2-3 times and it eventually left....how rude.

    Top notch. I actually enjoyed it more than the one in Vegas despite being much smaller. We bought…read morean annual membership not knowing what to expect and I'm so glad we did. It was so much fun and I'll definitely be back. My kids from 1-8 all found fun things to do. Even I was entertained.

    We visited the St. George Children's Museum during our family trip, and overall it was a decent one…read moretime experience. One thing to note is that it didn't seem very stroller friendly from the main entrance. There were stairs right away, and unless we missed another accessible entrance, it made getting in with a stroller a bit challenging. The museum was smaller than we expected. We explored the second and third floors, but the first floor was closed during our visit due to renovations. We're not sure exactly what they were updating, but hopefully it adds even more to the experience once completed. A nice bonus was the WIC discount. My cousin showed her WIC card, and admission was only $3 per person for up to five people. Children under 2 were free, which made it very affordable for families. Our kids, ages 10, 5, and 2, all found something they enjoyed. Their favorite exhibits were the airport area and the dinosaur ride. We spent about 1 1/2 hours there before heading out. Since we're from Las Vegas, we're used to visiting the Discovery Children's Museum, which is much larger and offers more exhibits. Because of that, it's hard not to compare the two. That said, we understand every city has different resources and budgets, so we tried to judge this museum on its own. Overall, it was a fun place to visit once, especially for younger children. We probably wouldn't return unless they expand the museum or complete the renovations, but we're glad we checked it out while visiting St. George.
