Between the Wasatch peaks and the marshy edge of the Great Salt Lake, Kaysville keeps the feel of the farm town it was when pioneers settled here in 1850 and named it after early settler William Kay. The Davis County city, now home to about 33,000 people, still has a compact Main Street, a historic tabernacle and blocks of historic homes built by its merchant families.
The Barnes family, who ran a local bank and stores, left several fine houses that are listed on the National Register, and painter LeConte Stewart, famous for his quiet scenes of rural Utah, lived and worked here for decades. The old city hall and the Kaysville Tabernacle anchor the historic center.
Kaysville is also a family town: Cherry Hill has a campground, mini golf and water slides, and Utah State University's Botanical Center lays out ponds, gardens and wetland trails beside I-15. The Fourth of July celebration is a big local event. Salt Lake City is about 25 minutes south, and Antelope Island is a short drive west.
Run by Utah State University, this research and demonstration site has ponds, trails, display gardens of water-wise plants and wetland areas where you can spot ducks, herons and songbirds. The grounds are free to wander. Come in late spring for the best blooms and birdlife.
A long-running family resort on Kaysville's Main Street with a shaded campground, water slides, mini golf and other summer activities. Many visitors come just for an afternoon of play. The water park area is open in summer only, so check dates before you go.
A family entertainment center beside I-15 with go-kart tracks, mini golf, bumper boats, laser tag, batting cages and a large arcade with a food court. It is popular for birthday parties and rainy days. Buy a combo pass if you plan to try several attractions, and expect crowds on Friday nights.
This handsome early 1900s tabernacle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stands at the center of historic Kaysville, with tall windows and a prominent tower. It is still in active use for services and meetings. Visitors can admire the exterior and grounds at any time.
The Kaysville home of LeConte Stewart, one of Utah's most admired 20th-century painters, known for his quiet views of Davis County farms, rail yards and small towns. The house is privately owned, so view it from the street, then look for his works at museums in Salt Lake City.
A small historic brick building that served as Kaysville's city hall and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It reflects the town's early 20th-century civic pride and sits near the old Main Street core. Pair it with a walk past the tabernacle and nearby pioneer-era homes.
The Barnes family, Kaysville's leading merchants and bankers, built several fine houses here in the late 1800s and early 1900s, including the John R. Barnes and John G. Barnes houses, now on the National Register. They are private homes, so enjoy their brickwork and porches from the sidewalk.
Kaysville's main community park has open fields, sports fields, walking paths, a playground and pavilions, and it is the hub for the city's Fourth of July fireworks and other events. Views of the Wasatch Front rise to the east. It is a good place for a picnic or an evening walk.
Kaysville celebrates Independence Day in a big way, with a fun run, a long parade down Main Street, a carnival and an evening fireworks show. Families stake out parade spots early with chairs and blankets. Book lodging ahead if you plan to visit over the holiday.
The Bonneville Shoreline Trail follows an ancient lake terrace along the foothills above Kaysville, with views over town to the Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island. Sections are rocky and exposed, so bring water and start early in summer. Watch for mountain bikers on shared stretches.
