Have you heard of Draper, the city in Utah?  If not, you should check it out!

To Utah residents, Draper is a well-known city. It’s a beautiful place that’s home to gorgeous mountains and a lovely community of people.

Only 18 miles south of Salt Lake City, it happens to be very close to Salt Lake International Airport. With its proximity to SLC and the airport, it’s a great place to live and visit.

5 Fun Things to Do in Draper

Here are five fun things to do in Draper while you’re there:

1. Hang Gliding and Paragliding

Draper’s Point of the Mountain has perfect wind conditions, making it a go-to spot for hang gliding and paragliding.

In fact, people have flocked to this location to enjoy these fun activities since the 1920s!

Flying over Utah is a truly unforgettable experience. If you’re in the area, you should do yourself a favor and check it out.

2. Living Planet Aquarium

Want to see more than 1,250 unique animals? Head to the Living Planet Aquarium!

At this aquarium, there are three main exhibits. The exhibits’ names are Ocean Explorer, Discover Utah, and Journey to South America.

Ocean Explorer allows you to walk through an underwater tunnel where you’re surrounded by creatures like sharks and sea turtles. Watching them swim above you is exciting and scary at the same time.

It’s impossible not to be wholly entertained by the Living Planet Aquarium. You’re going to love it!

3. Potato Hill Trail

Do you feel like going on a hike that boasts incredible views of Salt Lake City Valley? If so, check out the Potato Hill trail!

You can find Potato Hill on Traverse Mountain Road. It’s halfway between the Traverse Mountain Summit and Highland Drive.

This hike can be short or long, depending on your preference. It ranges from 2-6 miles, allowing you to choose your own adventure.

There are various trails to explore, so grab a map from the visitor center before venturing up the mountain.

Just a few miles up, you’ll be rewarded with beautiful views of the valley below. If you’re local to the area, you’ll want to come back and explore the trail in its entirety!

4. Draper City Park

Draper City Park is no ordinary park. This one is home to some of Utah’s most remarkable celebrations, music events, and festivals.

During the holiday season, the “Tree of Life” is strung with over 1,000 strands of light. It’s a stunning sight to see!

For nature enthusiasts, the park offers plenty of flora and fauna. Make sure to check out the gorgeous trees and take a stroll down one of the park’s many walking paths. If you’re into hiking or biking, there are trails for those activities too.

And if you’re more of the laid-back type, don’t worry. There are plenty of spots to lounge in the sun or relax under a tree. Draper City Park truly has something for everyone!

5. Alcatraz Escape Games

Alcatraz Escape Games is literally the perfect escape. In this family fun center, you’ll embrace your inner Sherlock Holmes and use clues to escape a locked room. Full of riddles and puzzles, this escape room is an absolute blast!

This game is a great activity for friends, family members, and co-workers because you have to work together to solve it. If you don’t work together, you could be stuck in the same room forever (and depending on who you’re with, that could be bad news)!

While playing the game, you have to think fast because you’re crunched for time. You only have 60 minutes to get the job done!

In Conclusion

This vibrant city sure is full of life. Whether you’re an indoor person or an outdoor adventurer, there’s no shortage of fun things to do in Draper.

So turn off Netflix and get out there. Once you’ve checked all of these activities off your list, look for some more. You’re bound to find many more adventures beyond the five we covered in this article!
