Pioneer Log Cabin - Salt Lake City Tours
One of the fun things to do in Salt Lake City for tourists is to visit the old pioneer building and homes. This original pioneer log home was built in 1847, the year the Mormons first arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. Occupied by a blacksmith named Osmyn, his wife, Mary Deuel, and Osmyn's brother. The pioneer log home is 15 feet wide and 20 feet long, made of Douglas fir and lodgepole pine from the mountains east of Salt Lake City. It is one of only two surviving log homes from 1847. Join us on the Salt Lake City Tour or the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Tour to see more pioneer buildings and hear their fascinating stories.

Church History Museum - Salt Lake City Tours
One of the most-visited attractions in Salt Lake City, the LDS Church History Museum on Temple Square is a great place for tourists looking for fun things to do in Salt Lake City.

Mormon Tabernacle Choir - Salt Lake City Tours
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir moves to the LDS Conference Center for the summer to accommodate larger crowds. The LDS Conference Center is one of the largest religious auditoriums in the world, with a seating capacity of 21,000. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir rehearses on Thursday evenings and performs Music and the Spoken Word on Sunday mornings. No tickets are required and there is no formal dress code. Pictures are permitted during the rehearsals but no photography or recording is allowed during the broadcast. Music and the Spoken Word is the longest continually running network broadcast in the world. Doors open at 8:25 AM on Sunday morning and you must be seated by 9:15 AM. If you're attending the Thursday evening rehearsal, the schedule does vary sometimes but typically the doors will open at 7:30 PM and the rehearsal goes until 9:30 PM. During the choir rehearsal, you can enter and exit the auditorium at any time during those hours, staying for as long or as little as you like.
Hearing this 360-member choir will be the highlight of your visit to Utah, so plan to be in Salt Lake City on Sunday morning if you can, or Thursday afternoon to at least view the rehearsal. Join us on Sunday or Thursday for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Tour, which includes most all the sights of our popular Salt Lake City Tour plus the Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcast or rehearsal.

Kennecott Utah Copper Mine Tour - Things to do in Salt Lake City
What is one of the best things to do in Salt Lake City for tourists? How about a trip see the largest man-made hole in history! A hole so large that astronauts can see it from the space shuttle. A hole so large that it generates its own weather patterns. The Kennecott Utah Copper Mine experienced an incredible landslide in April 2012, and now two years later much progress has been made in the cleanup of that landslide. If you squint while looking at this picture, you'll see tiny trucks driving on those roads; they are actually the size of a two story house! Notice the crater in the upper center of the picture, this is where 165 million tons of rock fell off the mountain wall and into the pit. The landslide was the largest non-volcanic slide in the known history of North America! Join us on the Utah Copper Mine Tour to see incredible views of the pit and hear entertaining stories and fun facts about the richest copper mine in history. Seating is limited, so BOOK ONLINE early
