Holiday Activities to Do in Salt Lake City During the Winter

Winters in Salt Lake City are beautiful, especially with our stunning mountains covered in snow and our amazing city surrounded by lights and holiday cheer. If you are visiting Salt Lake or looking for something new to do this season, check out these fun activities you can do with your friends and family.

Zoo Lights

 This fun-filled event returns for its 11^th anniversary and has more lights than ever. You can find over 200 lighted animals and holiday-themed displays that sparkle and glisten as you make your way through Utah’s Hogle Zoo. You won’t want to miss out on the crowd favorite—a 135-foot lighted tunnel. You will need to pick up a set of hologram glasses to walk along the lit pathway and through the tunnel. But that’s not all; there will be nightly entertainment and activities that are free with your paid ZooLights admission. Sounds fun, right? Check out ZooLights before the holiday ends.

 

Outdoor Ice-skating at the Gallivan Center

Ice-skating is a classic winter activity that provides great exercise and fun for all. It’s the perfect date night idea and a great family activity. You might be teaching someone else to skate or you might be learning how to skate yourself. Whichever it is, you will get to bond with the people you go with and create amazing memories.  

Hit the Slopes

Utah’s snow is known as “the greatest snow on earth” by many skiers and snowboarders. If you’ve skied or snowboarded at any of Utah’s resorts, you know exactly what we mean. Utah has over 10 ski and snowboard resorts and most of them are within a one-hour drive from Salt Lake. Some resorts offer great kid-friendly skiing and snowboarding, so it’s a perfect activity for the whole family. So, get out of your house and enjoy the outdoors at any of Utah’s snow resorts.

Winter is a fun and festive season, so make sure you fill your schedule with these holiday activities. Winter weather is often unpredictable, so make sure you are keeping your family and friends safe in your vehicle on your way to make some memories.
