about accessing Hogle Zoo on TRAX. I'd advise you call UTA (1-800-businfo) and ask them which bus to take from which TRAX station to get there. Buy a day pass so you can use it for both the train and the bus.

This Is The Place State Park is worth seeing, IMO. Quite a few church historical homes and buildings are there, as is the original University of Utah! Everyone that volunteers there are dressed like folks back in the 19th century and you'll learn a lot about what life was like then. You can get some great home-made licorice from the little ZCMI store which is one of the reasons I like to go there.

Also, get to the zoo as early as you can because the animals are more active in the morning, before it gets too hot. The new elephant exhibit is terrific. The new big cat exhibit is pretty cool too.
