Weekend Fun in Utah County: My Family’s Top Picks

One of my favorite parts of living here — and helping my clients buy homes in Utah County — is the incredible variety of things to do. Whether you’re new to the area or a long-time resident looking for fresh ideas, here are some of my favorite family-friendly activities in Utah County:

Hike Grotto Falls Trail in Payson Canyon
This short, shaded hike is perfect for families with young kids. It ends at a beautiful waterfall and is a great way to get outside without a long drive.

Ride the Sundance Scenic Lift
Whether you go in the summer to see wildflowers or in the fall for golden leaves, the views of the Wasatch Mountains are unforgettable.

Spend the Day at Provo Beach Resort
Indoor surfing, mini golf, an arcade, and delicious ice cream — it’s the perfect place for both rainy days and sunny ones.

Explore Thanksgiving Point
Between the Museum of Ancient Life, the Ashton Gardens, and the working farm, you can easily spend a whole weekend exploring.

Visit a Local Farmers’ Market
Provo, Spanish Fork, and American Fork all have amazing markets where you can find fresh produce, handmade goods, and live music.

Living in Utah County means your weekends can be as adventurous or relaxing as you want. If you’re new to the area and looking for more than just a house, I can help you find a home in a community that matches your lifestyle.
