If you’re in Ogden visit ‘historic 25th street’. I’ll be honest…this city is a bit of a dump…but this ONE street is FULL of old buildings, restaraunts, antique shops, pawn shops, and street vendors. The city park is right there and at the end of it is Union Station. In the station there are a few museums that are included in the admission (it was like 7 dollars for my family of four). There’s a huge model train set up you can walk through, a train museum, a natural history museum, the Browing gun museum, and a bunch of trains on display outside. It’s neat…my kids liked it. They’ve got an awesome grill in there too. Also…if you go and are on 25th street you HAVE to go to La Farovia. It is the BEST little italian place. You can eat inside or out…it’s soooooo good. And the atmosphere is awesome, quiet, relaxed, it’s family owned. But seriously…be warned…if you go over to 24th or 26th street…you’re in a totally different place! If you want to picnic or something like that, you can go up to the university, Weber State, and sit by their huge duck pond. You can feed the ducks and enjoy the fountain. There are a few hiking trails that begin at the school too. If you’re traveling with friends or would like to have a drink that is anything other than low point beer…(just in case, you never know) you DO have to buy it in a State Liquor Store here. There is one in Ogden that stays open until 10 though. The rest close at 7. The Prarie Schooner is really good! Snow Basin is also now offering night gondola rides to the tip of the mountain to view the moon if the weather permits. I’m not brave enough to check the price of it myself though…sorry…it’s something that I would love to do with my husband but I hate to be dissapointed when it turns out not to be afordable ya know? If you drive up Ogden Canyon on your way to Snow Basin in the spring and summer you can see the gorgeous man made waterfall! Hee hee…I didn’t know it was man made until I’d lived here for like 6 years! D’oh. OH!! I nearly forgot!! Behind the Ogden Temple (retro style for sure!) is Farr’s ice cream. Definitly stop in there. It’s on 22nd Street. Very very good old style ice cream parlor. Under no circumstances should you EVER drive on Adams Avenue between 24th and 28th street after 6 P.M. Just trust me on this…I lived there… And if you come through and need directions or to use the phone or the bathroom…I’d be happy to assist.

Thanks for all the great suggestions and the invitation to use your phone or bathroom. I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

I have to admit I’m curious as to why not to drive on Adams Avenue at night.

if you want drugs or guns…go ahead and drive down that street! hee hee. i lived about a block above it, so the only weird happening i had (besides the gun shots and sirens) was a mexican guy selling tamales door to door in a huge igloo cooler. all i’m sayin’ is…lock your doors if you’re gonna venture down there! :)
