  1. What could we do to be listed on here. We offer some great learning and fun field trip activities for preschool through 12th grade. Indoor Surfing, Indoor Rock climbing and Indoor Skydiving. We already have several schools come to our facility but we want more people to know about us. Thanks!

  2. This is a great list! Don’t forget all the wonderful parks and canyons in Utah that allow for you to bring rentals up into! Kayak rentals up in Tibble Creek or up Provo Canyon are a great field trip for the day and keep the kids entertained for hours.
