Historic Wheeler Farm offers plenty of fun for entire family

If you go …

Wheeler Historic Farm, "Est. 1887," as its logo notes, is a unit of Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation at 6351 S. 900 East.

It has walking and jogging paths, picnic tables, a multipurpose playground for children, historic exhibits and buildings, and animals, as at a working farm.

Admission to the grounds, parking, walking and park picnic facilities is free. It is open "dawn to dusk."

Some activities have minimal fees. Watching — or participating in — the milking of the cows is $1 per person. Tractor-pulled wagon rides are $2 per person. The Wheeler residence tour is $4 for adults, $2 for children 12 and younger. Children under the age of 2 are admitted free to these activities, with a paying adult.

Photographers, for professional purposes, or for family or wedding photos, are required to check in at the central Activities Barn.

The Activities Barn, with a spacious hall and other facilities, is available for weddings, business meetings and other gatherings.

For information or reservations, call 801-264-2241. Office hours are 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
