The Utah Botanical Center offers visitors many recreational activities such as fishing, wildlife viewing, walking the trail system, visiting the Rasmussen Teaching Garden and over 100 species of trees in the arboretum.
The Botanical Center was created as a place of study and focuses on critical issues facing Utah and other states throughout the Intermountain west; a growing population and limited water supplies, diminishing public open space, and a shrinking resource base for native plants, wildlife and wetland areas. The center offers hands-on fun and learning on ways to live well while using resources wisely.
The four fishing ponds are stocked with Large Mouth Bass, Blue Gill and Channel Catfish. Bring your camera as the ponds are also visited by many different species of waterfowl and other birds. The trail system makes its way around the ponds and offers many places to relax, have a picnic and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The parking lot gates are closed 30 minutes after dusk each day. The Utah House is open Monday thru Friday 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Saturday 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and is closed on Sunday.
