A Myriad of Activities for Children in Park City

An escape to Deer Valley during any season of the year presents a chance for children of all ages to have a good time. It is a family-friendly place to visit. Deer Valley Resort provides a Children's Center where parents can drop off their non-skiing children (ages two months to twelve years) for a day filled with fun while Mom and Dad hit the slopes. The Children's Center is licensed and offers great activities like story telling, crafts, singing, and playtime with toys.

For children and young adults would like to ski, Deer Valley provides an array of runs that are appropriate for young skiers. The resort also offers professional lessons to kids. These lessons are available one-on-one or in groups. The instructors are specifically trained to work with children, so the experience will be exciting and will help the child develop better skiing skills. This is a excellent way for children to work on skiing while their parents challenge themselves on harder terrain. Lessons can be given to kids as young as three.

For visitors venturing into Park City proper, there are numerous activities offered both winter and summer at the Park City Mountain Resort. For small kids, Little Minors Park offers amusement such as a merry-go-round and choo-choo train. This little park helps you to include even the tiniest tot in the fun. Another great feature of this area is the human maze, where kids can work their way through a larger-than-life-labyrinth. In addition, there is fun awaiting the brave child who can grab a harness and try his skill at the climbing wall or jump around 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 an awesome chair lift ride which takes you up the mountain followed by a track where you can sled back down to the bottom! It can be a gentle ride or quite fast depending on your application of the brake. A newer attraction is the Alpine Coaster. This roller-coaster is perfect for people who want the excitement of an amusement park in a gorgeous mountain setting. The whole family can also engage in a round of miniature golf. For families venturing a little further, just miles from Park City�s center is the Utah Olympic Park which has its� own thrills to offer.

Regardless of the season, this wonderful area provides fun for children of all ages. There are activities to meet every price range and budget. Going on hikes or bike rides in the summer and snowshoeing, sledding, or skating in the winter are fun, inexpensive things to do as a family. Downtown Park City boasts kid-friendly dining and lots of places to buy an ice cream cone or sweet treat to top off a day of fun.
