Amusement Centers

Davis is home to an amazing amount of amusement centers that routinely attract crowds from far outside the county’s borders. Perhaps the most famous of these is Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington, the most-visited attraction in Davis and America’s largest family-owned amusement park. Lagoon offers more than 50 rides ranging from mild-mannered fun for youngsters to high-intensity roller coasters for thrill-seekers. Lagoon also features the Lagoon A Beach waterpark and the historic Pioneer Village.

SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium, located inside the Layton Hills Mall, offers thrills of another kind as visitors are encouraged to touch and interact with various animals and sea creatures at this interactive aquarium. Visitors can swim with stingrays, sharks and tropical fish, hang out with a sloth or hold a kinkajou while learning about our planet’s variety of ecosystems.

Defying gravity is the name of the game at Urban Air Adventure Park in Clearfield. Visitors can catch air on Urban Air’s trampolines, but there are many more opportunities to reach for the stars here, from climbing walls and a ropes course to the Sky Rider, which flies visitors over the other attractions.

The family fun continues in Kaysville at Cherry Hill, a former fruit farm that now offers a waterpark with multiple slides and pools as well as activities including the Jungle Maze, mini golf and the Hamster Haven playground. Those having too much fun to leave can utilize one of the 140 campsites available at Cherry Hill.

Davis is also home to several more traditional family entertainment centers offering activities such as bowling, axe-throwing and more.
