Wheeler Historic Farm, Salt Lake City

This beautiful historic working farm is perfect for all sorts of family activities. We went to take family photos so we didn't participate in any of the hands-on activities available at the farm, but there's a great variety to choose from. The grounds are beautiful and served perfectly as a backdrop for our 30 or so odd family members to ham it up in front of the camera. (Note: professional photographers need to secure a pass.) The farm is really incredible! From event spaces to cow milking demonstrations to a Sunday Market in the summer and early Fall. There's a farmhouse from the late 1800's that can be toured. And they offer a wide variety of educational opportunities. Additionally, the farm has 75 acres and visitors can walk, run or ride the backcountry. There's even a 5k trail marked out. A real gem of a park!

A very cool spot to go get pumpkins, check out the animals, go on a few rides, and simply feel like your living back on the farm. The maze with the option to pick your pumpkin at the end is really the best part. A great way to enjoy Fall in Salt Lake with the family.
