A Myriad of Activities for Children in Park City

An escape to Deer Valley during any season of the year presents opportunities for children of all ages to find entertainment and fun. This is a family-friendly environment. Deer Valley Resort operates 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. This center is licensed and offers fun and educational activities like story telling, crafts, and singing.

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

For visitors venturing into Park City proper, there are many wonderful activities offered both winter and summer at the Park City Mountain Resort. For small children, Little Minors Park offers fun such as a merry-go-round and choo-choo train. This little park is a great way to include even your youngest children 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 harness up and try his skill at the climbing wall or jump and flip 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. Alpine Slide 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! The ride back down can be slow or fast depending on how liberally you apply the brake. A newer attraction is the Alpine Coaster for those who want the thrill of an amusement park in a beautiful mountain setting. The whole family can also join together in a round of miniature golf on an 18-hole course. For families desire to travel a little further, just a few miles from Park Citythe Utah Olympic Park which has its� own thrills to offer.

Regardless of the season, this wonderful area provides fun and entertainment for children of all ages. There are activities to match every price range.
