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.
