Looks like a great trip! With kids, we stay at one of the Hyatt's downtown as we are Hyatt members and usually can get a room for 6 for $130-150 including free breakfast which makes it awesome for 6 and it is a good breakfast. Also - walking distance for all downtown attractions or to jump on the tracks train which you can ride free in the downtown free zone. Downtown, our kids love the Gateway kids museum (if you have younger kids). They all love the Planetarium - so many free fun things to do/play/interact on all 3 floors and if you want you can do a show - but our kids love to just go there to play and its free! We love the Leo, Hogle Zoo, This is the Place, Natural History Museum (and hiking behind the Natural History Museum - Red Butte Gardens next door is beautiful! (If you do these things - get the SLC City Pass - it will save you tons!) The pass also includes riding the tram to the top of the mountain at Snowbird which is beautiful - plus in the summer Snowbird has a bunch of activities - alpine slide, alpine coaster (favorite!), zipline, drop, ropes course, climbing wall, jump zone, etc. Fun place. We also enjoy the Olympic park in park city - their alpine slide is awesome if they have it back open, we love the challenge course. We have not done the tubing yet - but it looks so awesome!
