Utah Olympic Park

Disappointing, bordering on farcical. I wouldn’t mind the long lines (e.g., 90 minutes for the Alpine slide) as much if the staff showed a little hustle. Unfortunately, they weren’t the least bit interested in moving things along. Everyone in line was astonished at how inefficient everything was — a shortage of tubes at the top, with a surplus of tubes at the bottom, etc. The estimated wait times were wildly inaccurate, so you had no idea how long to expect to wait. The staff was aloof — not the least bit friendly. The longer we were there, the more we marveled at what an awful job they were doing. It became a comedy of errors, complete with our 10 year older daughter discovering a dead mouse in the waiting area by the ropes course. We’ve traveled to all 50 states, plus 21 countries, and THIS was the worst tourist destination we’ve ever seen.

This was a great place for our family! We had a blast! Alpine slide and extreme zip were our favorites! My husband was brave enough to do the extreme tubing! My son did the obstacle course and free drop! We will definitely be back, next summer!

Really fun place to go to if you are visiting park city! Especially if you are a thrill seeker.
I would reccommend getting a day pass if you want to try out all the attractions. It is quite expensive, but it’s well worth it. The crowd level is unexpected, we went on a Sunday and an employee said it was unusually busy.
The rides are a blast. The views are nice. You can also watch training for the Olympics being done. Employees were mostly all very friendly, which is important for a place like this.
If you’re touring park city, then this is a must-​do activity.

Amazing place… what a treat to go here.
Got lucky enough to see a freestyle jumping competition which was amazing.
Tried the alpine slide which was a lot of fun… just watch who goes in front of you… if its small children they could really slow you down.
The museum is nice and they offer a great ride too.
Can’t wait to come back and try the bobsleds.

EXPENSIVE. But then again, this is Park City.
After being thoroughly impressed at the Olympic Park in Canada, we were excited to check out the Park in Utah. I was not prepared for the price tags associated with the chair lift rides ($ 10 per person for a single ride!), or the wait time for the alpine slide (60 minutes in line with a little kid?! not happening). As one other reviewer mentioned, they seem to nickel and dime you for everything. The museum was free though, and was pretty cool. We enjoyed watching the jump practices, with kids practicing their flips into the 10 ft. deep pool. That itself was worth the short drive up the mountain. All in all, we left not spending any money and feeling a little disappointed — but the historical aspect of the games is pretty neat.

Cool atmosphere and the rides are cool if you like to visit for 2 to 3 hours before the 30 second ride. Clearly staff is paid by the hour. No hurry in any of them. Zip line continually broke. Staff was non existent at the bottom of the alpine slide my 10 year old daughter had to jump out of the way so she didn’t get hit. Office staff said three rides in 6 hours is normal.
Go into park city. It’s a better experience.

Really well done. Any time family or friends come into town, I definitely bring them here. Fun to visit the museum but also taking the tour of the entire park. Seeing the bobsled track and ski jumps up close and personal is pretty amazing. If you time it right, you can watch professional and Olympic athletes train and compete, usually for free. So awesome that World Cup competitions and others like it still happen here.

Surprised by how much fun or family had here! This ended up being one of the highlights of our road trip. If you have kids of all ages (we had 8 – 17 age range) this is a great place for everyone to have a good time. The zip line and bobsled slide were super fun but make time to visit the museum and watch the kids practice their jumps at the pool. It’s awesome.

This is my second time going to the Olympic park to do the courses and each time I come it was not a good experience. The kids manning the stations are seem like they are high school kids and very immature. I can’t believe they would charge $ 65 per ride or course. If you want to risk your life and safety, at least buy a groupon and get a discount so it’s $ 65 for 2 courses. I did the zip line/​drop zone and barely cleared the ramp. The other experience was the zip line on the Nordic and that was alright. It’s not freestyle since that closed for the season so your speed is controlled.
The person behind the counter that takes payment was also pretty rude and catching an attitude when asking about the difference between the 2 courses. The museum is clean, but I won’t come back here again.

Awesome destination if you are visiting! Get a taste of ski culture in the museum, which also showcases tons of olympics memorabilia from salt lake winter games. There are tons of activities too like bobsledding and ski jump shows. Walking around is pretty inspiring. I believe they have function space to hold special events as well.

Wish your kid could be an Olympian? Is s/​he too much of a big kid/​video game ploppin’ child to do anything physical? It’s not too late! Come to Utah Olympic Park for fun in the sun, and a motivational excursion on the same slopes that the 2002 Olympics were held! Totally fun for the whole family!
Activities (must be paid for) for the fam include: zip lining, adventure (obstacle) course, tubing, tour of the Park, free museum, etc. All in all, it’s near Park City (ski or board), a shopping outlet, and right by the freeway.

Had a lot of fun. Many things to do for all. We went during winter and we all froze. The nature lift was fun, but it was a normal ski lift. We thought it was the other one that zig zagged in the woods but we were wrong.
People seemed nice but something’s were confusing.

I went here for the Olympic freestyle trials and it was really fun to watch! The museum itself really showcased how SLC really became this international mecca for the 2002 Olympics and some of the key athletes that were involved in the games.

Of note… we visited during the summer…
Expensive expensive! But loads of fun. Definitely put this place on your short list when you visit the Park City area. Its part of the old Winter olympic events but kept open for training and for visitors to experience. The tour was very nice, but they just seemed to nickel and dime you for each activity. I guess I should have looked at this place as more of an amusement park than a museum/​activity center. However I had no intention of riding down an actual bobsled etc…
We did partake in the low ropes course near the long jump and the kids did have tons of fun. There is one ski lift there that is free that you can take as well. It was amazing to watch the ski jumpers train as they performed their aerials into the large pool.
We were lucky we caught the PSICOBLOC championships which featured some of the worlds best rock climbers, climbing an specially installed rock wall over the swimming pool.
Overall I loved it! Would come back maybe when the kids are older so they can opt in on all the activities.

A terrific stop. It is kid heavy, but choose the rides where they can’t go like the BobSled.
It’s cool to see the freestyle jumper and tour the facility.
The zip line was fun but not real thrilling. Entry level.
The Alpine Run is more for kids.
The BobSled is the major one. A nerve rattling run on a real course with all the dangers of competition and the threat of disaster. Along with the thrill of 65+ miles per hour.
Well organized at the top, but needs some work on the organization down at the lodge.

Wow! What a neat experience!
This was my first visit to Utah, so I might be a little biased in that the mountains and area were just so much more beautiful than I expected. Then to top it off, an epic adventureland thrown right into the mix!
We were planning on doing the ropes course, but by the time we showed up at 2pm, the lines were too long for our liking (we also has tickets to a show later that night so had to be conscious of time). We ended up spending some time watching the skiers do the jumps in the pool (SO COOL!!!) and then watching the dry land slopes as well (TERRIFYING!). We then walked up the bobsled track and watched the rides zoom past us. I would have loved to ride the bobsled, but I heard the summer version of it is more painful than fun, and I’m saving my $ 75 to come back and do it during winter :)
We ended up doing the biggest zipline which was so worth it. The rate was actually really reasonable ($ 20) and it was certainly the highest zipline I’ve ever been on. A really cool experience.

Felt like a mandatory stop while on my trip to SLC. Was pretty cool to see where the Olympics were held at. Has a small museum with some neat memorabilia from the Winter Olympics. Lots of other activities to do here as well, but not free. Some of the prices for the additionally activities seem a bit high, but looked like lots of fun.

It’s somewhat expensive for the all-​day pass, but if you go from 10 – 6 it’s worth it. Also, check
, Groupon, and local coupon books for discounts. There’s free ins & outs so you can go 10 minutes into town and get whatever you want for lunch and still come back
We were greeted by athletes training by ski jumping and flipping into a pool. Our Gold passes included the long Alpine Slide, Zip-​Lining, Drop Tower, and Adventure obstacle courses where you play Indiana Jones only if you fall you’re basically on a zip line. Views throughout are pretty epic.
My 8 year-​olds dug it, but my 6 year old was scared. Ask about weight/​height, but it seems like 50lbs and 4′ are the magic number for most rides, some less/​some more.

The parking doesn’t make much sense. For a place built to host a world event it’s amazing that this is their answer to parking and crowd control. The orange vested workers have no idea how to direct traffic. Similarly the workers at the venue seemed to have no cohesive idea as to how things were supposed to work.
The new facilities are very attractive. Clean and impressive. The aerial show is fun and worth a visit. Participating in the goodies are a bit pricey but I can’t yet comment on the experience. Do hope to do the wall or jumps some day and very appreciative that these are made available to the public. Still think the prices might reflect the wealthy populace of PC more than a reasonable expense for the facility. With hotdogs at $ 6.50 a piece, overpricing seems a consistent theme at this venue.

This is definitely a highlight of our trip! We almost skipped the whole thing due to time, but we only did the obstacle course.
It was the extreme adult version of a Chuck-​e-​cheese or discovery zone… but better? It was awesome! Looks pretty easy but it’s actually challenging… mentally and physically. It was great seeing the kids go… and grandpas go too…, I thought… if they can do it, I can do it… but my heart was beating fast

Je pense que de passage à Salt Lake City, ça vaut vraiment le coup de faire un tour au parc Olympique!
En été, on peut regarder des personnes s’entraîner à sauter en ski dans une piscine (et je me demande encore comment ils font pour pas couler à pic!) ou effectuer un voyage en tyrolienne géante, au dessus des pistes.
Je me suis régalée dans la partie musée, permettant de voir l’évolution des JO aux cours du temps, des épreuves, du matériel…
Un très bon souvenir de mon passage à Salt lake City
