Best Friends Animal Sanctuary
Nature

Large-scale animal sanctuary in Utah canyon country — covers animal welfare, companion and exotic animal biology, and conservation ethics.

What families say
The free 90-minute guided tour is the highlight here—kids can pet pigs, visit cat houses, and see just how big the sanctuary really is, plus there's a peaceful cemetery and gratitude garden with nice views to wander afterward. Families can extend the visit by staying overnight in a cabin or RV campground, and even scheduling a cat "sleepover" or taking an adoptable dog out for the day. One reviewer felt some older staff talked down to them, but overall reviews are consistently positive on staff friendliness, scenery, and the vegan café.
