St. George is central to some of the most dramatic natural beauty in the American West, from the Mojave Desert to Zion National Park and the Pine Valley Mountains. While its summers are hot, St. George's mild and largely snow-free winters make it popular with golfers, hikers and bikers. In fact, Brigham Young wintered here – his home in town is open to the public.

You have to stop if you are in the area. A meandering path next to a man-made stream highlights the diversity of plant life for the area. Beautifully kept, clean, and all the plants are tagged!

This park is completely awesome. We took our 4 year old grandson and had an amazing time. My husband and I have travelled worldwide and this is the best free public park we have ever visited for children of all ages and abilities. Safe, clean and all areas in excellent condition. Kudos to St. George for providing this park to the public free of charge.

The Kayenta Community, in southern Utah's red rock country, is a tranquil enclave surrounded by protected lands.A 2,000 acre master planned community of fine homes, custom building sites and community amenities, is located 7 miles west of St. George, Utah. Kayenta is a unique departure from the norm, focused on moderate land use, moderate-sustainable growth, and an appreciation for our magnificent natural setting. Nearby, residents find adventure in the southwest's abundance of places to explore. Zion National Park, Snow Canyon and Bryce Canyon National Park are within view. While just beyond the horizon, adventure seekers will discover places like the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas.
We biked to Kayenta Art Village from IBB Cyclery where we rented bikes and had an awesome family ride up to the village where we ate at Xetava Gardens Cafe (Yum!). A beautiful, scenic ride back to the bike shop concluded a fabulous family outing.

Open to the public, the St. George Temple is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. Visitors can walk through the colorful gardens lined with towering trees, sit by the fountains and cascading waterfall, enjoy the beautiful views, and feel the peace of the grounds. While you're there, you can take a guided tour at the Visitors' Center.
Love it!! Beautiful!! Center of St George- beautiful visitors center to learn abt the temple and its history in the city. A must-see if in town!

I love history and this was a place I had never heard of or been too. It was a very informative tour and I want to go back and take it all in again!

My wife and I visited Pioneer park on our last day (8day trip) in St. George. Great scenic view of St. George from the north. Plenty of areas to Park and easy hiking with some hills and elevated rock formation. Alot of hard packed trails and expect red soils but shoes don't pick up the soil too much. Lots of great places to take photos. Additional hiking trails that go north and to the west of parking area. Yes, restroom available. This is actually our second trip to St George w/in 6mos. (we visited pioneer park in March 2020). Lots of areas to hike surrounding the city. Bring water -its a very dry climate. I'd expect that summer would be in temps hovering around 100+.

*PLEASE NOTE: Masks are required for all guests ages 5 and up.* The St. George Children’s Museum is a non-profit organization providing vibrant, engaging and interactive rooms that invites children and families to discover, imagine and create.
We took our 4 year old grandson and he loved it. Although some people thought it was fun for older children, I think the optimum age range would be 2 to around 2nd-3rd grade. There is so much creative fun to be had and plenty of hands-on exhibits. Clothes for dress up as a firefighter, construction work etc and a fun dinosaur area complete with a ride in an old mine wagon. We stayed 4 hours and our grandson would have happily stayed longer.

I had heard some of the history of this tragic incident, but being here made it seem so much more real. From the overlook, you could imagine the terror felt by those under attack. It was easy to imagine the sounds of gunshots and screams and the treachery of the militia who lured the travelers into surrender, then murdered them. We visited on a chilly day and had all four sites to ourselves.

How do you summarize 45,000 acres of ever-changing terrain? Climbing sandstone boulders; hiking sagebrush mesas; navigating creekside and waterfalls; or strolling through patches of succulents. No matter where you are in Utah, you're likely near a trailhead that is part of this Conservation Area.

My 5 year old daughter is a dinosaur lover, so we stopped in at this small museum while passing through St. George. The admission was affordable ($8 adults, $4 for kids 4+), and we were fascinated by the fact that their fossil displays were actually collected on site. How cool to walk where the dinos did and to learn more about the rich archaeological history of Utah! Be sure to watch the short educational video before beginning. We especially loved the section of the museum that preserves fossils as they were found — with the museum basically built on and around those recent discoveries (randomly found while a doctor was doing some construction on his property). There’s an outdoor play area with a sand pit for digging that my younger kids also loved, though it was so hot that it was hard to spend too much time out there. We finished the museum in about an hour, but are so glad we made the stop. My daughter even used her allowance to buy a stuffed animal dinosaur on the way out. She had a blast and this museum really helped deepen her appreciation for dinosaurs. This place isn’t the best for kids needing lots of hands-on stimulation (unless they primarily play outside), but it IS great for anyone interested in learning and exploring.
