Gardner Village, West Jordan, UT.


Gardner Village is a collection of little shops, boutiques, a petting zoo, and restaurants that people can visit throughout the year. Every fall, witches converge from all over and it is transformed into a Halloween fantasy land. While it isn't posted anywhere, your entire family should dress up in your costumes when you go.
Most of the activities are geared towards little girls, but there are still things for the boys to do. Throughout the day you will find witches in amazing costumes roaming around the village. There are face painting boothes, bead activities, a scavenger hunt, and a lot of delicious street food. On the west side of the village you will find the Halloween theme park Six Hags Witch Adventure. This is really for kids about 6 years old and under. There is a hay maze, a giant bouncing balloon, and a few other things, but nothing that would keep the attention of older kids.
The funnest part of the whole day was at the petting zoo. It is actually there year round and is run by a farm animal rescue. All profits go to support that rescue and not Gardner Village, so your money is going to a very good cause. The kids took the longer pony ride that went around the whole village. The kids got a bag of feed and were able to feed horses, goats, sheep, alpacas, chickens, cows and ducks. They were also able to sit and hold the most beautiful rabbit.
Overall, the kids had a lot of fun, even though one of them tried to act too cool for a pony ride.
Activity rating 0-10
