If you have an inner medieval knight, just waiting for his chance at a noble quest; if you’re a damsel in a dress, seeking an archery lesson to deter beaux; if you are a DND nerd inside and out, and wish for the ultimate LARPing experience….
I give you: Evermore.
“Themed like a European village with its own buildings, citizens, and epic story. Guests interact with characters, go on quests, and become a part of the world of Evermore. The village of Evermore is a growing entity with changing themes, buildings, citizens, and quests.”
-From Evermore’s website
We heard about its opening a few years ago. The great Tracy Hickman told me he’d been hired to help create it*. Friends went. My former supervisor went and wrote about it. Yet, we’ve not tried it.
They have themes and special events. They also list:
- Archery
- Axe throwing
- Bird & Reptile Show
- Evermore Park-Themed Cuisine
- Guild Memberships
- Horse & Pony Interaction
- Themed Train Experience
- In-park Exclusive Merchandise
- Mini Productions of Evermore’s History & Storyline
- Musical Character Performances
- Games & Quests
- Storyline Discovery
- Gothic Antiquities
(From their site)
It’s located in Pleasant Grove, about 40 minutes south of Salt Lake City Airport. You’d better go quickly; I just read a followup article that says they’re facing lawsuits on unpaid construction projects….
Those cursèd knaves.
*Tracy Hickman gave me that information back when the park first opened. I haven’t spoken with him since.
