This Is The Place Heritage Park

It has been years since I last visited this historic site and I am pleased with the positive changes. There are several large parking areas and so many attractions including gift shops and clean restrooms. The main feature is of course the huge bigger than life statues depicting historical events and peoples who explored and developed this region. There is even a village depiction early settlers life which might take hours to property explore and for which there is an entry charge. The lure of donuts and Dole whip was also enticing. I especially enjoyed the view is the Salt Lake valley as well as the monument in memory of those who dared to dream of a better life.

Held a wedding event at the Kimball Home. Everything was beautiful! The setting is gorgeous! Most of the staff were very helpful. We did have one on site employee during the event that was quite rude with any questions we asked her. Everyone else was phenomenal to work with and very responsive. There is plenty of parking for guests. Only gave 4 stars due to the lack of air conditioning in the kitchen (too HOT to work in for a September event, wouldn’t be able to use at all for a hotter month event) and no fridge shelves in the refrigerator. I did ask prior to the event if there was AC in the kitchen and was told there was. But there was not. We had to change plans last minute due to the extreme heat in the kitchen.

Tribute to the heritage of the area from before the Mormons arrived to settler cabins to many buildings from the next 100 years. Very pleasant guides in many buildings. Can get tram ride that goes around the perimeter to get a sense of what to see. Spent over half the day.

Very interesting park to visit to learn more about the valleys pioneers and their ways to live in the 1800's and 1900's. It's about 15min from SLC downtown, there where plenty of parking spots on-site and the entrance fee for the heritage park was $22. There are some food options too, like hot dogs, burgers, grilled cheese, donuts and ice cream. It is totally family friendly and you can easily spend 3-5 hours there if you take your time.

Amazing! It’s like a small village with houses from the 19th century and you can go inside and talk to the people who act like they live/work there. There’s a little farm with pony and horse riding, goats and rabbits. There is also a snack bar and donut shop and gift shop. It tells the story of pioneers of Salt Lake Valley. 22 dollars for an adult, half for children.

I didn't think it was so fun! The views are outstanding. The train was really fun. And the activities keep the kids busy for a while. Today, we came on a school field trip, but I'm planning to come back and stay longer to explore every corner of This Is The Place.

Highly recommend for all ages. Collection of historic buildings made into a village. History of the first settlers plus Bingham young History. They have excellent food that is very reasonable prices. We are from NY so got a great history lesson of the area.

Beautiful grounds and lots of activities like pony rides and more. Of course, my favorite was the gift shop. Fantastic stuff!
