    The 430-acre This Is The Place Heritage Park is home to the famous This Is The Place Monument, marking the entrance into the Salt Lake Valley of the first Mormon pioneers in 1847, and Heritage Village, where “hands-on” learning about pioneer life is the order of the day.

    In more than 40 Village homes, shops and outbuildings – many of them original structures – costumed “interpreters” demonstrate the crafts, trades and skills of frontier life. Among the Park’s offerings are replica trains, pony rides, petting corral and a host of crafts and activities for children and youth.

    Spend a couple of hours or an entire day in pioneer Utah, an experience unlike any other.
    The train runs everyday from 9am-5pm.

  • This Is The Place Heritage Park is located at the entrance of Emigration Canyon, in the north east area of Salt Lake City. We are located just south of the University of Utah and just accross the street from Utah's Hogle Zoo.
