Each year we host thousands of students on “This Is The Place to Experience History” field trips. We offer a two hour “hands on” total environment learning laboratory that is both fun and educational. We match the student’s field trip experience to the grade level curriculum, allowing them to return for a new experience each year. We accommodate kindergarten through 7th grade classes.
The students might become a pioneer school class, visit the cabinet maker, do chores, visit the shaving parlor, dance the Virginia Reel, visit the blacksmith, or pull a handcart. They actually experience pioneer life and compare it to modern times.
As one student explained after their school field trip, “That was the coolest park I’ve ever seen in my life. I love the park… You guys are awesome and cool!!!”

Admission is $2.00 for each student. Your registration allows 1 adult (including teachers) to accompany every 10 students at no charge. Adults above this will be charged a $5 admission fee. The admission fee is waived for Title One schools.
Your experience will take about 2 hours. If you can stay longer, included with your field trip is a 15 minute train ride on our Promontory Point replica trains. Picnic tables are also available for your group to eat lunch in the Bowery.
Also included with your field trip is a 20 minute DVD about Utah History and This Is The Place. We send this out to you to watch before your field trip so the students have more time for hands on experiences while visiting This Is The Place Heritage Park.
