This is just "phase one" of a three phase plan. But remember it just barely opened up and they're still in the process of building it out. It feels kinda half-baked, as far as tourist attractions go. Right now it's really a bare-bones visitor experience and everything at the overlook is outdoors. Plans are to add more exhibits, displays, possibly a visitor center building of some kind in the years to come. The visitor center isn't fully built out yet and currently there's just a small gift shop and a two-level scenic overlook of the pit with a few pieces of equipment on display. A new visitor overlook has been built and April 1 to October 31 you can go inside the mine. From 2013 to early 2019, visitors were not allowed inside the pit due to a landslide that destroyed the visitor overlook area. This will definitely be a yearly tradition for us!Īs of April 2019, you can now go inside the copper mine pit. The gardens were gorgeous with their changing leaves, mums, and an impressive amount of blooms still in tact-not to mention the highest quality decorations. The signage and stories throughout were masterfully done, tying in plant life and appealing to the older end of the age spectrum. The fairytale-themed scavenger hunt led us on a big loop through the gardens (bonus for having plenty of space for social distancing) with a different theme in each area.Įven my two-year old was able to enjoy the hunt because each item was held by a skeleton he was able to help spot. They went all out! It was my favorite Halloween activity we did this fall. This year we attended Red Butte’s Halloween event, Boo-tanical Gardens, and were totally blown away. It’s outdoor amphitheater is my favorite concert venue and I had my bridal taken in the gardens (in June when the Wisteria is bonkers!). I grew up going to Red Butte but have appreciated it more as I’ve gotten older.
