Free Activities

One of the best things about Salt Lake? There are way more free activities than you’d expect! And we’re not just talking about hiking trails (though we’ve got plenty of those). This city has a whole lineup of no-cost fun that goes beyond the great outdoors.

From parks and museums to art galleries and tours, Salt Lake is full of surprises when it comes to free things to do. A standout? The iconic Utah Olympic Park, home to the 2002 Winter Olympics. Wander through the museum and explore the grounds for free. Bonus, with a small fee, you can indulge in some of the activities while you are there.. (Pro Tip: Grab the Visit Salt Lake Connect Attractions Pass for discounts on guided tours or outdoor adventures!)

And that’s just the attractions. The family-friendly city is keen on hosting many free or cheap events throughout the year too—movies in the park, concerts, parades, festivals, and more are on offer around the area.
