Shopping

With world-class shopping malls and destination outlet malls within minutes from our Salt Lake and St. George vacation homes, why not gather all the shopaholics in your family and take a day of shopping together. Make a game out of it. See who can buy the most amount of items for $20, or have a gift exchange for the whole family that involves buying a gift you think might have meaning to your other family members. Shopping in Salt Lake, Park City, and St. George makes such a great family reunion activity for everyone.

Family Ping Pong and Games Tournament

Our family reunion vacation homes offer ping pong tables, billiards, foosball, air hockey, and even poker tables. Host a family ping pong or other game tournament. See who is the best ping pong player in the family, or dethrone the long-time champion. Host a family bingo game, or a volleyball tournament in the backyard. See who is the best at billiards, or who has the best luck at poker. How about enjoying our movie theater to play name that show, or other fun games that involve several family members. Whatever game you choose, this is a fun, inexpensive way to have fun as a family while on vacation in on of our vacation homes in Utah.

Bounce House Rentals

The kids at your reunion will go nuts when they show up to see an inflatable bounce house. We rent bounce houses and other inflatables to make it more fun for everyone. Our large homes have space in the yard to setup medium size inflatable bounce houses or moonwalkers. It's a great way to liven the children's mood and break the ice with all the kids in the family who may not know each other. Plus it gives adults time to mingle alone and forge new relationships and catch up on old times.

Host a holiday family reunion for Christmas, New Years, President's Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving or any other holiday. We can help make it festive.
