This holiday gift guide might be a little bit different than your standard gift guide. I get so many gifts that end up in the back of the closet, and I don’t want to do that to the ones I love. That’s why we like to give the gift of adventure! So we put together an adventure holiday gift guide for Utah.

One of the best gifts you can give is the opportunity to get out of the house. Everyone wants to go out and have fun, but they don’t always make the splurge and purchase an outing for themselves. We like to splurge for them, and these gifts are always really popular. Today we are sharing our favorite family adventure gift ideas, as well as the best deals for adventures in Utah. Here are a few that we have found that all Adventure Families in Utah will love.

I have also included items that we actually use on our adventures. Things that have stuck with us over the years. Hopefully this will give you some new ideas for gifts this year. I will update daily as new Black Friday deals are announced.

Black Friday Deals

Here are a few great Black Friday Deals. We have also included some of the deals for our favorite adventure gifts in the sections below, so watch for the words Black Friday Deal in bold throughout this post!

Passes

Some of our favorite places offer passes. We don’t have many special deals for these passes, but we still think they make great gifts because you can use the pass all year round. The pass saves you money as long as you plan to visit enough times to cover the cost. Some of the best places to visit over and over again as a family are listed below. For more detailed info about locations, click on the links to read our posts.

Get Out Pass

The Get Out Pass is an awesome pass in Utah. It is so easy to use and has venues all over the state. Lagoon is the huge highlight on this pass, and with the increase in prices for Lagoon, the Get Out Pass is just a few dollars more than a day pass to Lagoon. Plus you get all of the other venues. Totally worth it in our opinions, and we have had this pass for many years. You can read all about the specifics on our post about the Get Out Pass. Best of all is the amazing Black Friday deal they are having. Check their website and use our code ADVENTURE for $90 off until the end of November.

Your kids will be thrilled with a pass for Lagoon, Splash Summit, Discovery Gateway, Salt Lake Bess,, and much more. They also have a gift voucher option on their website too, so it is really simple to give the pass as a gift. When you purchase the pass as a gift, it sends a code for the person to redeem. The pass then lasts for one year after they activate the code.

TIP! If you have a Get Out Pass, you can purchase a gift for yourself at this amazing discount. Just choose the gift option, purchase for yourself, and then when your Get Out Pass is about to expire, use the code to renew!!

Lagoon

Lagoon always offers a Black Friday deal on their season passes. If you want to be able to go to Lagoon as often as you’d like, use this deal. Black Friday Deal: Passes are $175.95 until December 1st, which is an awesome deal since a day pass cost is $98/day. Visit Lagoon.com to purchase.

Adventure Gifts

We love giving experience gifts. A great gift to give is a spot where they can experience something new or return to a favorite place. Here are a few gift ideas who are having Black Friday Sales that would be fun for your kids and teens.

Airborne (Lindon or Draper)

Airborne is new to Utah and they have two locations in Draper and Lindon. We were impressed with how many trampolines were inside, as well as all of the extra things to try, such as obstacle courses and olympic trampolines. They just added a brand new play area for kids 10 and under and it is amazing.

Black Friday Deal 2025: I will update once they announce. They always have a great deal.

Virtual Dugout

This is a brand new adventure in Lehi, UT. It is a virtual interactive batting cage. You can play different games and pitch or hit. If you have a sports lover, this would be a great gift!! Their Black Friday sale is $50 cage reservations for any day! This is for up to 8 people. More info on their site here.

Zipline Utah

We visited Zipline Utah for the first time this year and it was amazing. There is a huge zipline that goes across a section of Deer Creek Reservoir. They also have shorter zip tours and an adventure course. This would be a great gift for anyone who loves serious adventure. They are also connect to Rainbow Bay Aqua Park, which is such a fun way to play in the summer.

Black Friday Deal: Waiting for details for 2025. They always have a great sale.

This entertainment group brings a lot of fun family activities to Utah like Disney on Ice and Monster Jam.

Family Games

One of our favorite things to do as a family at home or when we are out traveling is to play games. We have found some amazing family-friendly games over the years. Check out our post for the full list. Here are two local companies that have Black Friday deals going on.

Grandpa Becks Games

We have every single one of the Grandpa Becks Games, and we love all of them. All of the Grandpa Becks games are on sale on Amazon including their new game, Whoa Cowboy. So grab a few for your family and neighbors. Some of our favorites are Skull King, Bears and the Bees, Reign of Dragons, and Nutts about Mutts.

Black Friday sale: All games on sale on Amazon!! Check them out here: Grandpa Becks Games

Lovemore Games

This is a brand new Utah company out of Spanish Fork. They have created three super fun games that we have enjoyed a ton. All three are on sale for Black Friday already. Top Waffle is only $10. Here’s the link to buy on Amazon. They also have a game called Jewel Box, which we love even more. You try to create groups of bugs. It’s easy to learn and fun for older kids on up! It’s on sale for $19.97 on Amazon. Their brand new game, Stable Times, is prefect for horse lovers. We loved how quick and easy to learn it was. It is on sale for $19.97 for Black Friday, too. Grab it here.

Products We Love

We try to keep our lives very simple, so we don’t purchase lots of extra items to take on hikes or trips. We don’t buy hiking boots, or fancy car games, so the items we are sharing our real favorites. They are products that we have tried, tested, and found to be worth the money! So here are a few recommendations (and most of these we have given as gifts to our kids before). Click on the picture to be taken to Amazon for more details.

Camelbak Mini Mule

This is the greatest item we ever purchased. Our boys love them and it keeps them happy on hikes. They have a small pocket where I can put a snack, and it makes my backpack so much lighter because they are carrying their own water. I bought my kids their Camelbak Mini Mule 10 years ago and they are still going strong. Some are only $30 for Black Friday, which is less than I paid for them. Honestly, the best thing we ever bought

Bought this for him when he was 2. Now he is almost 12. Still going strong!

Binoculars

We use binoculars on all our National Park trips, as well as any birding adventures we go on. Binoculars are fun because kids can easily learn to use them, and they feel very important with their own set of binoculars. We have bought plenty of cheap pairs of binoculars and they have all been broken by our children.

Best binoculars

We finally purchased a pair of these nicer binoculars when we used them at a bird refuge in Hawaii. Everyone said they liked how easy they were to use and how clear they were. So then we bought one more pair to share. They are definitely pricier than the cheap ones we bought, but they are doing well after one year, and everyone wants to use them instead of the old cheap ones. them use our nicer set, and things went a lot better. Everyone could see, and nothing was broken.

If you do just want a more affordable set, we have 3 pairs of these because they have been the most solid pair of binoculars for our kids. They are on a Black Friday sale for only $35.

Merry Bells

This is one of our favorite holiday activities. And you can use the Merry Bells at home. The set comes with 8 bells, and videos to follow along with for 30 Christmas songs. you can purchase other songs, too. We have had a lot of fun with family and friends playing our Merry Bells. Use our code “utahadvfam” to save 5% off your purchase, too. And they are a local Utah company! More info here. Black Friday sale: Merry Bells will be $5 off, and our 5% code stacks on top of that!!!

We hope that this Utah holiday gift guide had given you some different ideas. We are always looking for ideas to add. What types of adventure gifts do you give to your families? We would love to hear, so we can add to our Utah Adventure Family Holiday Gift Guide
