Editorial Review for This Is The Place Heritage Park – by Peter Behle

In Short
This Is the Place Heritage Park contains Old Deseret Village, a living-history museum recreating a Utah community in the time just after the Mormon settlers arrived. The park, now run by a nonprofit foundation, is named after the This Is the Place Monument, erected in 1947 to commemorate the centennial of Brigham Young's famous declaration to the pioneers.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

We took our kids, ages 7-13, to “Little Haunts” at “This is the Place Heritage Park.” The experience was wonderful for the entire family. The kids enjoyed the petting zoo, pony rides, train ride, making corn-husk dolls, and the nostalgic atmosphere. We could see making it a family tradition. The only thing that I felt could have been improved upon is that, I think, several people came with their trick-or-treat bags, and there weren’t very many treats. Otherwise, though, it was a very fun and memorable experience. The family fun makes up for the lack of treats. I highly recommend it to anyone with kids.

Pros: Clean, lots of fun
