Reviews
"This is such a fun place for kids and adults. When we went it wasn’t busy at all, and their play areas are even better than the children’s museum at the gateway. They have so many fun spots to play for kids, but it’s also great for adults to learn the history and to see relics of the past. And it’s free!!"
"This place is fun for little ones. The history is heavily laced with mormon elements. Generally, it's quiet and empty. little ones can play in the old-fashioned school, house, and market. We like that it's free."
"This was an unexpected treasure. It has some really fun local history, but they add to it by having fun activities for kids. My kids didn't want to leave. It may not be as fun for teenagers, but most kids would really enjoy this museum. This museum would work with a wheelchair, as well as most of the activities can be done in a wheelchair. There is a bathroom on site and a drinking fountain. It is an added benefit of being mostly indoors, so it could be a great place to visit in the winter months. Make sure Not to come on Monday. They are closed on that day."
"Best activities for toddlers in South Jordan. Free and has great open play design with stream, kitchen, general store, and outdoor chores."
"This is a fantastic, perfect-sized museum. It's small but more extensive than you would think when you walk in. It's about the history of South Jordan and it has lots of pioneer-related things, and exhibits about the Kennecott copper mine, pioneer homes, an old fashioned store, school, mining tunnel, post office, and a "fishing" stream, and the history of medicine in Utah with a large exhibit about the human body, blood, and heart. There were only a couple of exhibits closed due to covid I'm assuming, but everything else was open and mostly hands-on. Everything is in very good condition and nothing looks yucky or broken. There are 2 buildings outside to look at and explore so don't forget those either! One is a dug out house and one is a granary. I was nervous to take my kids here because several reviews state how uptight the workers are about what kids cannot touch or play with. The volunteers were definitely monitoring what could be touched and what couldn't, and the workers also were monitoring if things were being taken out of exhibits into other rooms, which was hard because several of the rooms are all connected and related, like the market and the kitchen. There are lots of things that kids can touch and play with, but tons of things that they cannot touch or play with, but are also not fenced or gated off so it makes it hard to keep kids off of them so that was a bit stressful! I will definitely come back because this place is an absolute gem, but only when my husband can come with me and can help monitor the kids! There's a button that kids can push in the human body area that makes heart beat sounds, and my toddler loved pushing it, but after a while a volunteer told her to stop pushing it, so that was kind of annoying that she couldn't play with something that was meant to be played with. A really fantastic place to take the kids for a few hours. Open Tuesday-Thursday 10-6, Fridays 10-4. No appointment needed. Nice bathrooms. And it's FREE!"
