1 . 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.
