The 9 Best Things to do Good for Couples in Ogden, Utah (UT)
The city was named after fearless fur-trader and adventurer, Peter Skene Ogden, who explored the untamed area in the 1820s. Since then, Ogden has seen poverty and prosperity, conflict and celebration. Today, although a more subdued and modern place, the city is still big on action and adventure the whole family can enjoy. Take the kids to ogle the more than 100 life-size replicas of pre-historic creatures at the Ogden Dinosaur Park and Museum. Or head to the Tree House Museum, one of the best of its kind in the U.S. Adults will find plenty to enjoy on local golf courses or hiking trails in the summer, and everyone will love the local winter ski resorts. A grand old depot, Union Station is a must see for history buffs and anyone interested in trains and railroads. Be sure to stroll along 25th Street downtown. This historic block was the center of activity in the early 20th-century and is home to many restored buildings from the railroad era. The street also boasts an eclectic mix of restaurants, one-of-a kind shops, antique stores and art galleries.

Time Trap is a real life escape room. An exciting new form of interactive entertainment. You and six to eight friends are locked in a room with a mystery and an hour to solve it. Scour the place for clues. Conquer the puzzles. Figure out the story and get free!

I went with my family while on vacation and the thing I enjoyed the most was the whole family had contributed to escape, (with 20 seconds left on the clock). We tried the Super-Villain room and it was great. It had a lot of puzzles that everyone helped on. Myself, being a comic book geek, my knowledge of useless information helped with the comic book stuff, my older kids helped to solve some of the puzzles and locks, my youngest would find things in lower places and other hard to reach spots, and my wife helped to coordinate everyone. It was truly a team effort. If you think you need to know a ton about comic book stuff, you only need to know basic information. Such as who is the hero with the metal suit, or has a star on his costume. If you've seen any of the Marvel movies, you're ahead of the game. Even if you don't know that kind of stuff, there are enough clues posted in the room you will find it. It just helps to save time. We also had a great host in Julianna who helped when we needed it. She really helped push us across the line to help the Wasatch Warrior. I recommend this room along with this place.

For 50 years this stately and historic depot served as a major hub for transcontinental rail service. Today, it remains a monument to grand rail stations of the early 20th-century and includes four museums: the Utah State Railroad Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Browning Kimball Car Museum and the Browning Firearms Museum.

We had a rainy day to kill in Ogden and found this place very interesting and well done. They have done a great job preserving a very beautiful building. The history of the building of the Transcontinental Railway was well covered. Kids would love the model trains. The cars in automobile museum were beautiful. The cowboy museum was small but with a few minutes. We skipped the gun museum. The location is good, right at the end of the historic 25th street where you can grab food and shop.

As the conductor of Chamber Orchestra Ogden, I perform with my orchestra at least three times a year. The theater is a great place for concerts, good acoustics, and a staff that is knowledgeable and helpful.

Can’t miss in the downtown area! There are a lot of cool shops. I like Lavender Vinyl, Endless Indulgence, and Two Bit Street for food. If you have mobility issues, the parking for handicap spots can fill up and not all buisiness are built equally if you require some accommodations.

At some point, the sound of the waterfalls hits you and though it’s mostly uphill from there, it’s worth the sweat! Enjoy!
