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!
