Utah's Hogle Zoo
Utah's only large zoo, with African savanna, polar bear and Asian highlands exhibits, ideal for families.
Hogle Zoo sits at the mouth of Emigration Canyon and cares for about 800 animals. Main exhibits include the African Savanna (giraffes, lions and rhinos), Rocky Shores with polar bears and sea lions, and the Asian Highlands with snow leopards and red pandas. The zoo also has a miniature train and a carousel. Admission is about $25, and a visit takes around 3 hours. It sits next to This Is the Place Heritage Park and Red Butte Garden, so the three can be combined into a one-day tour of the eastern foothills.
