Most People Don’t Know About This Underrated Zoo Hiding In Northern Utah

When you think of the zoo in Utah, you likely think of Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City. We love Hogle, and the opportunities it provides to get up close and personal with wildlife, but there’s another small zoo in northern Utah that’s a fun spot to spend an afternoon.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
