Trip ideas while visiting Park City in Utah
The Utah Olympic Park played host to various events during the 2002 Winter Olympics and remains an official training facility for Olympic athletes, both present and future. There is no admission fee to enter the park, and many of its attractions are also free to enjoy. These include the Alf Engen Ski Museum, the Eccles Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games Museum, the Discovery Zone obstacles course, the Mountain Challenge course, and a number of hiking trails.
For an unforgettable adventure, visitors have the opportunity to ride the Comet Bobsled with a professional driver, experiencing the same intense g-forces and incredible speed that Olympic competitors do. Additional activities are available at separate prices, such as climbing and ropes tours at three different difficulty levels, a thrilling zip line experience, and a guided tour lasting one hour, which takes you to see the world’s highest Nordic ski jumps.
The former Olympic site in Utah is often praised by reviewers and considered a “must-see” attraction. Even if you’re not into skiing, visiting here is still highly recommended. The site offers free museums where you can learn about Utah’s ski industry and the 2002 Olympic Games. One of the highlights is the Comet Bobsled ride, which takes passengers down the same track used during the 2002 Olympics. Visitors who have taken this thrilling ride describe it as a one-of-a-kind experience that is definitely worth the cost.
