Really great variety of activities for different ability levels and ages. Everything from a gentle, scenic chairlift ride to extreme zip lining and bobsled rides. My only complaint is that some of the staff seemed very bored and could be a bit more friendly.

Don't go on a day that even has the potential for rain. Even a few drops shuts everything down and then it takes forever for the staff to get motivated to do the testing and reopen things. Probably would be worth the money if things were running, but the lines are very slow moving so maybe not.

If you are in Park City you have to come here. While we were there we caught some Arial ski jumpers practicing it was so neat to watch. The museums are free and there is a gift shop and cafe. They have lots of different experiences you can do...rope courses, alpine slide, zip line ECT. Don't miss it!

On a whim we stopped in for the Red Bull 400 (September 15, 2018). It was a such a blast that we almost missed our Dirty Dash 5k. We're so lucky to have the Utah Olympic Park and fun events to watch and participate in!!

My wife and I were looking for things to do in Park City, and had heard of the Alpine Slide, so we went to the Olympic Park. There are a variety of activities (we saw the slide, extreme zip-line-ing, going tubing down the ski-jumps, large ropes course, practice ski-jumping into a giant pool) but we only did the slide. You take a ski-lift to the top and ride down the slide. It cost $20 for each of us, and we waited about 45 minutes in line. I'm a big man (6'5" 250lbs) and it was difficult to maintain the correct position on the sled (only has one set of wheels) to maintain my speed. My wife (less than half my weight) had no problem and flew down the slide. It's a good size slide, but wasn't worth $20. Some of the other activities might be more fun, but I wouldn't pay to go down the slide again.

You can choose to buy a day pass for $50 (we bought one activity), but you would want to plan to be there all day to really get your monies worth.

We love coming here! Great museum and displays from 2002 games. You can often see ariel practices or kids learning to jump. Decent small snack bar. Clean bathrooms. Ropes course, ride bobsled in summer... A great stop!

Most of the interactive activities (bobsled, extreme tubing, etc. ) were no longer open for the season. Would have really appreciated if they had clarified this on their website before we trekked out there.

We had so much fun here. Great zip line and tubing. Alpine slide was awesome too- helps to give the rider in front of you a little more time than they give, so you can go FULL SPEED all the way down.

The museum here is free and definitely worth going to. If you go at the right time you can watch people do the ski jumps into the pool while you get a bite and relax. Lots of different activities are offered here, tubing, slides, ski jumping, and more. I've only ever been up here in the summer but I'm sure the activities only get more abundant in the winter.

I love the Olympic Park! So much to see and do. It's fun to watch the athletes train and the museum is so cool. Such fun to walk through the exhibits and remember how fun it was to host the 2002 Olympics!

I'm not really into the Olympics, so I guess take this review with a grain of salt. We took the guided tour and the facility was interesting. The view from the upper portion of the park is stunning and the facts passed along by the guides were very interesting.

Endless waiting. The place has some very cool things to do, but it is utterly disorganized. You wait in multiple lines without any shade or access to water. Wait time was 6 hours for about 5 minutes of fun.

About Utah Olympic Oval

Utah Olympic Oval: A World-Class Venue for Winter Sports Enthusiasts

The Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation is a non-profit organization that manages and maintains the world-renowned Utah Olympic Oval in Park City, Utah. The facility was built for the 2002 Winter Olympics and has since become a hub for winter sports enthusiasts from around the world.

The oval is an impressive 400-meter speed skating track that has hosted numerous international competitions, including the World Single Distance Championships and the U.S. Speed Skating Championships. It's also home to several local clubs and teams who use it as their training ground.

But speed skating isn't the only sport you can enjoy at the Utah Olympic Oval. The facility also offers public ice skating sessions, figure skating lessons, curling clinics, hockey games, and more. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just looking for some family fun on the ice, there's something for everyone at this world-class venue.

One of the unique features of the Utah Olympic Oval is its altitude. At an elevation of over 6,000 feet above sea level, it's one of the highest indoor tracks in North America. This makes it an ideal location for athletes who want to train at high altitude to improve their endurance and performance.

In addition to its impressive facilities, the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation is committed to providing visitors with an authentic Winter Olympics experience. They offer guided tours of both Park City venues used during the 2002 Games –the oval itself as well as nearby ski jumps– where visitors can learn about what goes into hosting such a massive event while taking in breathtaking views of Park City’s mountainous landscape.

The foundation also hosts events throughout each year that celebrate winter sports culture while raising funds to support their mission: "to inspire people of all ages through sport." These events include everything from charity runs on snowshoes or cross-country skis (depending on snow conditions) to outdoor concerts featuring local musicians.

If you're planning a trip to Park City or simply looking for something new and exciting to do this winter season –look no further than Utah Olympic Oval! With its state-of-the-art facilities and commitment to promoting winter sports culture worldwide through education programs & community outreach initiatives alike–it truly stands out among other venues across North America when it comes down not only quality but authenticity too!
