Not only is the food amazing at this place, but so is the atmosphere. The people who serve are incredible, the design of the space is beautiful, and even the dishes they use make the meal feel special. Out too Indian Food place for sure!
Little India Fine Dining
Our top favorite feel good restaurant. The best is the chicken harvest bowl. We also usually splurge on a cucumber mint lemonade. So good
Aubergine Kitchen: Home Page
Our favorite place for Japanese food. My husband always gets sushi and says it's good for the price. My favorite is to go during lunchtime and get the bento boxes. I'm a fan of katsu chicken.
Red 8 Asian Bistro & Sushi Bar
The green curry is to die for here. It is a little spicy, but it's worth it. We also like coming here because it's quiet and feels more intimate.
East Moon Sushi & Grill
The bread here is so good. My favorite thing to order is the ravioli. I've gotten a sweet filling ravioli there that is really unusual and fun.
Bona Vita Italian Bistro
Get a reservation or it's hard to get in. Our favorite Italian place by far. They make everything by scratch. My husband can't have dairy and the chef will make something special for him. I always get the creamy pasta that has pistachios crumbled on ...
Osteria Amore
Things to do Outside
We love this park because the big trees give a lot of shade. Also, the kids enjoy climbing the trees more than the playground.
Dry Creek Park
Not a very long hike and only gets steep for a little bit. We took our two kids on it and they did great. The bridge is a great landmark to shoot for and help you keep going. They also have some benches at the top, and at the trailhead there are some...
Bear Canyon Bridge | Draper City, UT - Official Website
It's a nice small little lake. People go paddle boarding here. My kids like to kick around on tubes and play in the sand. There is also ducks to feed and a playground and some picnic areas.
Highland Glen Park
Beautiful place to walk around. Sometimes they have concerts or special events as well. We like to go at Christmas time to see all the lights, or during the tulip festival.
Ashton Gardens
Every time we go we have a great time. The seals are our favorite, especially during a show. They also have a really fun playground and splash pad during the summer.
Hogle Zoo
I've been going here since I was a little girl. I like how it's smaller - I feel like I can do everything I want to in a day. They are always adding new rides as well. Lots of small kid rides to keep the littles entertained as well. Our favorite time...
Lagoon | It's What Fun Is!

So beautiful and fun to walk through. If you go on the weekend they also have food trucks and music and games for kids.
Tulip Festival At Thanksgiving Point
This is our big Christmas light thing we do in the winter. It's really fun to walk through as all the different areas are themed. There is also a beautiful area with statues of the life of Christ with lanterns that is good to walk through at Christma...
Luminaria
Inside Fun
Our favorite at this place is the penguins. We love watching them dive. There is also a fun rope bridge in an aviary that the kids enjoy. And the shark tunnel is always worth it as well.
Loveland Living Planet Aquarium | Draper, UT
Really fun place to go with kids, but also it can be fun as an adult is you know where to go. The museum of natural curiosity is my favorite children's museum. It has a bunch of different areas, but my kids' favorites are the indoor play gym (basical...
Thanksgiving Point
We love a good nicklecade. Plenty of games to choose from and it feels clean. Also well priced. The kids enjoy it here, and we like to go on dates as well!
Sandy Nickelcade
Our favorite place to see new movies. The chairs recline and have so much space in between them. We also like the prices.
Cinemark Theatres
The best thing about this place is the price. They do 5 dollar movies on tuesdays and that includes popcorn and a drink. Concessions are very reasonably priced. Sometimes in the summer you can see an old movie for $2 which the kids love.
Water Gardens Cinema 6
I took my son here to play lazer tag last week and he absolutely loved it. I think we'll be doing a birthday party here. You can get a pass to do as many activities as you want in 4 hours, or you can pay per activity. They have lazer tag, bumper boat...
