Park City Activities for Kids

For visitors venturing into Park City proper, there are many activities offered both winter and summer at the Park City Mountain Resort. For small children, Little Minors Park offers fun such as a merry-go-round and choo-choo train. This little park is a great way to include even the tiniest tot in the fun. This area also boasts the human maze where kids can work their way through a larger-than-life-labyrinth. The daring child can harness up and try his skill at the climbing wall or jump and flip on the trampolines of the Legacy Launcher.

This area also has an Alpine Slide that is open to kids as young as two with an adult. This summer attraction includes a chair lift ride up the mountain followed by sledding down a track to the bottom. It can be a gentle ride or quite fast depending on how liberally you apply the brake. A newer attraction is the Alpine Coaster for those who want the thrill of an amusement park in a beautiful mountain setting. The whole family can also engage in a round of miniature golf on an 18-hole course. For families venturing a little further, just miles from Park City’s center is the Utah Olympic Park with its’ own thrills to offer.

Regardless of the season, this area offers fun for kids of all ages. There are activities available to meet every price range and budget. Hiking and biking in the summer and snowshoeing, sledding, or skating in the winter are fun, inexpensive things to do as a family. The downtown area boasts kid-friendly dining and plenty of places to buy an ice cream cone or sweet treat to top off a day of fun.
