10 Tours...Events...Tours...Events...Tours...Events...Tours...Events Ideas for Things to Do While You Are Here: Salt Lake City is a family friendly, user friendly, area . It is hard to encapsulate this city into a short description and not miss anything or anyone important . There are a myriad of attractions to explore within easy walking dis- tance to the convention center and many more available via the transit system of buses and Trax . The Convention and Visitors Center is located at the Salt Palace Convention Center http://www visitsaltlake. com. visit which makes it convenient to go in and ask questions and get information . What is there to see on your own within easy walking distance is quite a long list, but for starters, there is Temple Square . This beautifully landscaped 10-acre plot of ground in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City is one of the most visited attractions . The Centerpiece of the Square is the 6-spired granite Salt Lake Temple, and adjacent to this imposing edifice is the domed Tabernacle, home of the famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the great Tabernacle organ . Within walking distance or near downtown routes, there is also the Cathedral of the Madeleine, the Cathedral Church of St Marks, Holy Cathedral Greek Orthodox Church, and the Salt Lake Masonic Temple . There are also many museums, large and small, throughout the area . There are horse pulled carriage tours, Carriage for Hire, that are enjoyed by young and old alike which start at the Temple Square south gates after 6:00 pm . The Gateway Mall is a few blocks from the convention center http://www shopthegateway. com/. . In addition to shopping and eateries, it includes the Clark Planetarium and the Children’s Museum, Discovery Gateway and movie theaters . If you want to take the bus or Trax, there are even more places to go . We have the Hogle Zoo, https://www hoglezoo. org,. and the Red Butte Arboretum, www redbuttegarden. org. and This is the Place Heritage Park www thisistheplace. org. which are all up the hill from the downtown area, near to the University of Utah . For sports, we have will have the Bees Baseball team (triple A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels) http://salt- lake bees. milb. com. . They will have four home games during our meeting . It’s a long walk or a short jump on the Trax to the Ball Park . For a longer Trax ride which will drop you off at their new stadium, there will be two games of the World Cup winning REAL Salt Lake Soccer team in Sandy, Utah . There will be a home game Friday, 25 June and Friday, 2 July just before the meeting and at the end of the meeting . Further away from downtown we have many more attractions from the mountains themselves, the Great Salt Lake, Antelope Island, to the Kennecott Copper Mine http://www kennecott. com/visitors-center. which is the largest copper mine in the world . Throughout the areas there is hiking, camping, fishing, rock hounding, dinosaur hunting, and, in some cases, river running… For those that want to plan more camping and hiking beyond the immediate areas there are many choices, but a couple of the higher profile areas are Yellowstone National Park and Zion National Park . There really is a continuum of choices as you reach out beyond Salt Lake City . We are surrounded by many national parks and wonders, mountains, rivers, and deserts .
