Scavenger Hunt at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, Utah

While visiting Salt Lake City this summer, I had planned to take the boys to Temple Square and do the free scavenger hunt at the Conference Center. Since we were with grandparents and cousins today, we all decide to go. The kids loved it! We kept busy at the Conference Center until all the kids won their prize for completing the scavenger hunt and by then it was already getting a little late for bed! We got the kids home for bedtime then enjoyed a nice evening walk with the dog around the neighborhood. It was such a wonderful day!

At the time of this post, a free children’s scavenger hunt was available from inside the Conference Center. Once children completed the scavenger hunt, they could return it for a prize. Please call the Conference Center to see if free scavenger hunts are currently available. If not, you can easily create your own!

Free guided tours are available daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Visitors explore the Conference Center’s history, architecture, and exhibits. Tours meet inside the Conference Center at the plaza level. Visitors are also welcome to tour the garden roof during these hours.
