Visiting the Discovery Gateway Museum in Salt Lake City, Utah

Why Salt Lake City's Discovery Gateway Children's Museum is Worth a Visit Just recently I had the opportunity to visit the Discovery Gateway Museum in Salt Lake City, UT with my kids. We had a blast! Although the museum is not the biggest we’ve been to (and we’ve been to quite a few) it kept our attention spans, and I feel like my kids learned a thing or two. Definitely requirements as museum visits are typically considered “school” for the day. We started in the Beehive ball house – which Cara especially loved. Moving the balls around, putting them through the air tubes, watching them roll back down keeps the kids buzzing around like little worker bees.

Cara was super cute at the cash register, and Rachel did a great job grocery shopping and then loading all her groceries into the kitchen at “home”. I even got in on the action and delivered some mail!

While they’ve had the Life Flight Helicopter for some time, they’ve added in an emergency room. My kids were able to “stabilize” their patient during the flight to the hospital, and then wheel him in for x-rays and even surgery. We had lunch out here, and then the kids played for at least an hour. It was fantastic!

They also currently had a Bob the Builder rotating exhibit which we didn’t have enough time to thoroughly explore. This museum is also a participant on the Salt Lake City Connect Pass, which is a great way to get out and explore the city for less money. Visit the Gateway Museum in the morning, stop by the Lion House Pantry for lunch, and hit up the Hogle Zoo in the evening when the weather cools off! I definitely recommend spending a few hours here if you are in the area!
