Woah it’s been nearly six months since our family went to St George for the first time. I’ve had so many requests to blog the “MUST DO” activities. Travelers will love a holiday to St George – you can visit Freedom Destinations to learn more, there are SO MANY things to do in St George. I have yet to try them all, but I can definitely share the three best things that we did!!
1. Snow Canyon State Park
This is a must! When I posted on Instagram for advice on where to go in St George, 99% of people voted for Snow Canyon State Park. Snow Canyon was BEAUTIFUL and there was SO much to do. We could climb red rocks, hike trails, climb, dig, picnic and slide in the sand. IT was SO fun to run around in the red rock that we are SO not used to!
from Wiki: Snow Canyon State Park is a state park of Utah, USA, featuring a canyon carved from the red and white Navajo sandstone in the Red Mountains. A scenic locale offering trails for hiking, climbing & horseback riding amid dunes & sandstone cliffs. Snow Canyon State Park is open all year round and contains 35 campsites for tents and RVs below 35 feet (11 m). The day-use fee is $6. Hikers and bikers may obtain annual passes for $24.
2. Thunder Junction All Abilities Park
Maybe the coolest park of ALL time. We LOVED playing on the park, splashing in the water and riding the train. It was great for allllll of my kids ages!!
From the Website: A Remarkable Play Space. The Thunder Junction All Abilities park features a dinosaur theme that includes complete wheelchair accessible playground equipment, climbing wall, an “erupting” volcano, splash pad, and a “roaring” C.P. Huntington 1/4-scale train on a 2,700-foot track. The ground is covered with durable soft-surfacing making accessibility easier for those in wheelchairs. The all-abilities park is located inside Tonaquint Park at 1851 S. Dixie Drive
The facility is open from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., 7 days a week, general admission is free. The train operates Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. (hours are subject to change based on season, maintenance and weather). Train rides cost $1 per person.
3. Pioneer Park
Very similar to Snow Canyon Park, Pioneer is filled with trails, hiking and red rock but with more views of the city, pavilions and BBQs.
