Spring break is a great time to visit Antelope Island. With wildlife actively roaming the park and campgrounds, you’re almost guaranteed to catch a glimpse of the island’s iconic bison and other wildlife. It’s also a fantastic time for hiking and biking. Bring your own bikes or try eBiking, with a rental or tour from Antelope eBikes. Be sure to check the Antelope Island website for current conditions, as no-see-ums may make an early appearance if the weather warms up.

The Antelope Island State Park Visitor Center is open daily and camping is allowed in designated areas at Bridger Bay Campground, White Rock Bay Campground and Lady Finger Campground. Spring break and weekend reservations are recommended! 

From roller coasters to entertainment, there’s something for everyone at Lagoon!

The opening of Bountiful’s new Ice Ribbon this winter created a space where families could ice skate, enjoy a Fizz, and spend time outdoors together. The fun continues off the ice this spring as the path opens up for roller skating and blading, walking and strollers. This spring the path is open to all with multiple access openings around the ribbon. After, head over to Bountiful Main Street to browse the cute shops and grab a bite to eat. 

Is there a better way to spend a beautiful spring day than exploring a new trail? With over 500 miles of paved and unpaved trails, there’s a hike in Davis for every skill level. 

Explore a variety of trails, such as the popular Mueller Park to Elephant Rock, a moderate 2.85-mile (each way) trail that traverses across the mountain and leads to incredible views of the Wasatch Valley. Adventurous hiking families may want to trek the non-maintained Farmington Sunset Trail, a moderate 2.8-mile hike at 5,244-feet elevation. Wild Rose Trail is a beautiful, family-friendly hike leading to stunning views of Great Salt Lake, with a fun park at the trailhead and a covered pavilion perfect for a pre- or post-hike picnic. 

Other popular trails include the waterfall hike to Adams Canyon, Antelope Island’s Frary Peak and Buffalo Point, Bonneville Shoreline, Parrish Creek, and the paved Legacy Parkway Trail for biking and hiking. Fruit Loops Mountain Bike Park features trails for beginner to advanced riders. Check trail conditions prior to heading out on mountain trails, as they may still have ice or snow and spikes may be required.

With nine public golf courses and one private country club, there are plenty of options for novice and accomplished players. Book a tee time at your favorite course or explore one new to you.

With 10 golf courses to choose from, it’s a great way to spend a spring break day. 

Looking for disc golf? We have that, too! Check out the courses at Freedom Hills Park in Centerville, Mills Park in Woods Cross and Davis Technical College, just to name a few.  

Spanning 4,400 acres of wetland habitat along the eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake, Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve is a wonderful place to explore with the family.

A boarded walkway loops for 1.3 miles around much of the preserve, creating a flat walking path ideal for all ages. Along the boardwalk, you’ll find several educational exhibits offering lessons about the Great Salt Lake’s birdlife, habitats, and the need to protect this important area. Fresh air, exercise and (don’t tell the kids!) a great way to sneak in a little learning over spring break, too!
