Hey neighbors!!

This week in Lehi really leans into spring—you’ve got flowers in full bloom, a few chances to get out and move, and some nice options if you’re just looking to slow down and enjoy the season. The Tulip Festival is in peak swing right now, with over a million flowers filling Ashton Gardens and plenty of extras like music and food to make it feel like more than just a walk.

From there, it’s easy to build your own kind of week. Catch a show one night, treat yourself to something more relaxing heading into the weekend, or spend time with family at the baby animals or indoor play spots. Nothing too packed—just a good mix of ways to get out, enjoy the weather, and make the most of it.

If you’re trying to switch things up this week, this is a fun one to check out. The Virtual Dugout is basically a baseball simulator spot where you step into a batting cage and play games on a huge screen. You can do home run derby, pitching challenges, or just mess around and see how far you can hit. It tracks everything, which makes it way more fun than a normal cage.

Good for friends, families, or a casual date when you want something a little more interactive. You don’t need to be athletic. Just show up, take a few swings, and let it turn into a whole thing.
