If you are looking for a few FREE things to do in Utah this weekend, well there is good news! On Saturday, September 25, it is both FREE Museum Day and FREE National Parks Day.
This is a great way to see some sites that you have not seen before or revisit some of your Utah favorites! Let us know which is your favorite and what you plan to see! It looks like the participating museums are found all across the state.
From this list, we like the Ogden Union Station Museums. The Railroad one specifically is very fun for our whole family, but they do have quite a nice car and gun museum. It is also a fun place to go as you get 3 museums in one!
Here are the Museums in Utah that qualify for FREE Day:
- American West Heritage Center - Wellsville
Art Access Gallery - Salt Lake City
Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery - Cedar City
Chase Home Museum of Utah Folk Art - Salt Lake City

You will need to request your FREE tickets to one of the above museums by filling out the form on the Smithsonian website. You can request two for FREE. Many of the above attractions will let children 3,4,5, or even 6 under for free without a ticket all of the time.
