In 2006, the Children's Museum of Utah relocated to this all-new location. Undergoing an incredible, modernizing facelift, this once drab museum became a colorful, interactive, state-of-the-art wonderland for children and their parents. Now called Discovery Gateway (after the Gateway Center, in which the museum sits), this 60,000-foot family fun center has numerous, stimulating exhibits that encourage children to learn about the world. Whether kids want to explore farm life, construction work, a larger-than-life beehive, or a news room, they'll be able to do so with great enjoyment. Hands-on learning exhibits also include those illustrating storytelling, gardening, and even helicopter flying.
