Park City has something for every multigenerational family. Whether you’re trying to tire out kids, comfort teenagers, and satisfy core skiers, you’ll have no problem finding something that the whole family will enjoy.
Skiing at Park City Mountain and Deer Valley
Deer Valley and Park City Mountain offer thousands of acres of terrain for all skiers. Whether you like carving freshly groomed runs, ripping powder and trees, or are just honing your skills on green and blue runs-all riders can find something they like! Each resort provides exceptional experiences on and off the mountain. With plentiful skiing, easy transportation, and tons of close lodging, starting your family trip on the slopes is a no-brainer.
Art classes at the Kimball Art Center
The Kimball Art Center is a great place to escape the cold weather, and let your creative juices flow. The Kimball Art Center has a variety of art classes that are offered several days every week. Classes cover a wide variety of art styles including pottery, painting, textiles, and even glass making. To make it easy for families, all of their classes can be sorted by the best ages, so you can be certain to sign up for a class that suits your unique group well.
Family Sleigh Ride in Park City
If you’re looking for a nice way to relieve stress at the end of the day, a family sleigh ride is one of our favorite activities. Bundle up together under blankets as you’re pulled through the snow behind a team of horses, and you’ll quickly feel like you’ve been transported to another time. With our young kids, we found that taking a short sleigh ride followed by dinner at Cena, was a perfect combination.
Park City Escape Room
If you’re looking for a bit of a mental challenge, and are willing to really work together as a team, make sure to visit the Park City Escape Room. With several themed rooms, your family will work together to solve a puzzle and figure out how to escape. Escape rooms are fantastic for multigenerational families and big groups, since everyone has something unique to bring to the game.

【推荐1】City farms are gaining popularity in cities and towns around the United States.
Eco City Farms in Edmonston,Maryland,is located near shopping centers,car repair shops and homes.The neighborhood is a working-class community.People do not have very much money,and they have limited access to fresh food in markets.
Over the past two years,the farm has attracted volunteers from the community like Marcy Clark.She schools her four children at home.On a recent day she brought them to Eco City Farms for a lesson.Alston Clark thinks his experience very valuable.”I like coming out here.” he says,”You know,you connect with the earth,where your food comes from.You appreciate the food a little bit more.”
Margaret Morgan-Hubbard started Eco City Farms.She thinks of it as a place where people can learn to live healthier lives.”Growing food in a community and showing that you can have farms even in the city is helpful to strengthen the relationship in that community and brings people together, “she says. “Every piece of what we do here is a demonstration to show people everything about how to have a sustainable community. “From the Eco City Farms people come to know that they are not only growing food and raising chickens and bees,but improving the soil with compost(堆肥)made from food waste.Sixteen wooden bins are filled with worms.Their job is to eat the food waste and help make it into compost.
Eco City Farms is an experimental operation.The farm gets its power not from the local electricity networks but from the sun with solar panels.In winter,the greenhouses are heated using a geothermal(地热的)system.
Vegetables can be grown all year.So once a week,all winter long,neighbors like Chris Moss and her three children bicycle to the farm to pick up a share of the harvest.
“I like eating the vegetables,”says five-year-old Owen Moss.

【推荐3】Leisure is the prize, right? We work hard, so we want to play hard; we look forward to our time off, believing that the more leisure time we have, the better life will be.
However, research shows that both having and deciding how to spend leisure time can be very stressful. Some people feel enormous pressure to make the best use of their free time with the best choices. But this pressure to maximize our fun might impede the enjoyment of leisure itself.
Two-thousand years ago, concepts of work and leisure were associated with slavery(奴隶制)and freedom, respectively. In Ancient Greece, most of work was done by slaves, while wealthier parts of society pursued other activities. Leisure was an active state of mind. Good leisure meant playing sports, learning music theory, debating with qualified partners, doing philosophy, etc. Leisure was not easy, but it was supposed to be satisfying.
A shift occurred when the Romans started viewing leisure as a way of getting back energy in preparation for more work. By the 1800s, the kind of leisure that showed social class had shifted too; the wealthy led extremely free lives. A popular example is Walter Benjamin’s description of the fashion, around 1893, to walk through streets with a turtle (乌龟)on a chain.
Today we’re seeing yet another change: a lack of leisure time now operates as a powerful social class symbol. On Twitter, celebrities complain about having no life and being in desperate need of a vacation. In the workplace, being part of the long-hours working culture is still seen by many as an honour.
Some people really struggle to enjoy time off. People from America support the belief that leisure is wasteful. Only 14% of Americans take two weeks’ vacation in a row, a finding in keeping with the overwork culture. The same study reports that as of 2017, 54% of American workers didn’t use up their vacation time, leaving 662 million days reserved for leisure unused.
1. What does the underlined word “impede” in paragraph 2 mean?| A．Increase. | B．Prevent. | C．Provide. | D．Include. |
| A．Eating tasty food. |
| B．Cleaning the house. |
| C．Having a good sleep. |
| D．Reading works of literature. |
| A．To describe a fashion. |
| B．To criticize the wealthy. |
| C．To show a type of leisure. |
| D．To introduce Romans’ lives. |
| A．Many Americans work on their holidays. |
| B．Americans enjoy taking longer vacations. |
| C．American workers enjoy their lives and have fun. |
| D．Tourism in the United States is developing slowly. |
Lincoln Park
With its many fashion shops and coffee shops, Lincoln Park is also a wonderful part of Chicago which is a delight for people to visit. The Chicago History Museum shows typical Americas,and then of course there’s the park itself. Facing Lake Michigan, it offers beaches, wildlife signs and Lincoln Park Zoo, where you can see gorillas(大猩猩) and polar bears free of charge.
Lombard－Oak Brook
Unlike many parts in Washington DC and New York, Lombard in Chicago is an old-fashioned suburb which shows the traditional attraction of old-time America. It’s known for its every year’s Lilac Festival(丁香节), and for the “Little Orphan Annie” house, where the red-headed character was dreamt up by Harold Gray. The nearby village of Oak Brook is even more pleasant, and known for its golf courses and polo(水球) club.
Magnificent Mile－River North
Forming part of the always busy Michigan Avenue, Magnificent Mile is the place to shop in Chicago.Fashion shops, supermarket department stores, and smart restaurants make it a must-visit. And places to look out for include the epic(史诗的) Wrigley Building and the Chicago Water Tower, one of the few buildings to survive the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The nearby River North district is well known for its many art galleries.
The Loop－Downtown
Home to the Civic Opera House, the Goodman Theatre,and the Art Institute of Chicago, where American masterpieces can be found alongside Old Masters, the Loop is worth visiting just for the streets alone. Look up at some of the USA’s most famous skyscrapers(摩天大楼), and there is Grant Park－a wonderful place with the huge Buckingham Fountain at its centre.
