Park City Utah Family Activities

Things to Do With Your Family in Park City, Utah

If you can't leave your kids with the grandparents and don't have the nanny that travels with you, kids are a part of vacations. They can be really fun to have along as long as they don't get ‘bored' Lets be honest, family vacations can be challenging enough without having kids who are ‘bored'. Keeping kids constructively occupied without shelling out big dollars can be difficult in a ski town during the season.

Park City BabysittingThe children's ages dictate family plans on a skiing vacation. Can they enroll in ski school so you can get your turns too or do you need to get daytime babysitter? Are they skilled enough to warrant a private instructor so that skiing with them is an option? Price can really climb with private instruction, but the upside is usually skiing with your kids sooner.

Obviously, with a younger age range, reserving a childcare service for a couple of adult nights makes sense as long as you can find reliable child care. Many hotels have services for babysitting and some do more expanded children's programs. Based on feedback from our clients, here is the most trusted child care service in Park City and Deer Valley, Utah.

Check the local Park City movie theatres, Redstone Cinemas and Holiday Village Cinemas, the indoor and outdoor ice rinks, Gorgoza Park and Soldier Hollow tubing hills, The Egyptian theatre, and the Heber Valley Railroad. White Pine touring grooms three different cross country ski tracks on the Park City golf course, where you can also arrange sleigh rides and dog sled adventures. Contact the tour operators for schedules and availability.

The Utah Olympic Park has museums, rides, shows and camps. Check them out at http://www.olyparks.com/

Or, better yet, buy plastic sleds for everyone, find a small, safe hill and enjoy your vacation, together.

SundanceThe energy in Park City is fantastic during Sundance

Attending the Sundance Film Festival is a great time to enjoy one of the annual highlights of life in Park City, but it's certainly not an accurate representation of what life in Park City is really like during the rest of the year.   

Drink an extra Red Bull, espresso, or whatever else causes your adrenaline level to redline. 

You'll need it, as the nightlife continues until the sun rises, people-watching is never more entertaining, and you can catch a quick nap between films.

Here's the truth about How Sundance Impacts the Park City Utah Real Estate Market...
