Besides skiing and boarding there are a couple real kid pleasers in Park City.
- Right on Main Street is the unassuming Park City Museum of History & Territorial Jail. The original territorial jail downstairs is a must-see. Remember, the dark, tiny cells were state-of-the-art in 1886!
- Sleigh rides and snowmobile tours are very popular, particularly when combined with dinner.
- Additionally there is Gorgoza Park which has lift assisted snow tubing, and snowmobiles for children up to 12.
- The Heber Valley Railroad, now operating in its third century, offers an incredible tour by steam locomotive. Travel through majestic farmlands, past a beautiful lake, and then drop into a picture postcard canyon. How pretty is it? Their trains have been featured in three-dozen movies and television shows.
- For the children, or the parents? Guardian Angel is a super in-home babysitting service. We’ve used them since they were formed in 1999 for our children, now 5 and 2. And remember, when you go out for dinner, ask for a table by the fireplace.

- Ski Free the Day You Arrive. With over 100 flights arriving before noon from every corner of the US, and Park City only 30 miles from the airport, many people ski the day they arrive (try that in Colorado!). Now, it’s free. Show any of the 3 ski resorts your boarding pass from that day, and complete a form from the Park City Chamber of Commerce called “Quick START”.
- For great coupons and specials, always check the local newspaper, The Park Record, published every Wednesday and Saturday.
- Also nice is a popular giveaway, This Week in Park City. Both frequently offer 2 for 1 dining offers, at some of the best restaurants in town no less.
