The living-history village at the mouth of Emigration Canyon includes a splash pad with paid park admission, alongside pioneer-era attractions and train rides. It sits directly across the street from Hogle Zoo on Sunnyside Avenue.

What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps toilets on site, playground alongside, parking at this location.

When to go. Peak summer highs in Salt Lake City average 89°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
