A family day near the foothills

Start with the kind of day your family needs: movement, make-believe, or outdoor discovery. These options span Harrisville and nearby Ogden, with the actual city shown on every listing.

Start in Harrisville

Xplorerz Outpost is a Harrisville family entertainment option. Before going, check the attraction details, age and height requirements, current admission, and party arrangements on its website. A little advance planning helps you pick the right activities for your group.

Head downtown for a museum day

Treehouse Children’s Museum is in Ogden. Its literacy-focused, hands-on exhibits offer another direction for a family outing. Check its current calendar and admission details, and plan travel as a trip to Ogden rather than an in-city Pleasant View stop.

Take your curiosity outdoors

Ogden’s George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park is another nearby option for families interested in dinosaurs. Review the park’s current hours, weather considerations, and ticket information before you go.
