Salt Lake City is known for hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics, making the Utah Olympic Park a popular place to visit. This 400-acre complex houses the 2002 Winter Games museum, six Nordic ski jumps, and one of only four sliding tracks in North America. The Utah Olympic Park is in Park City, a 30-minute drive from Salt Lake City, where you can experience numerous thrilling adventure activities year-round.
A must-try adventure is to ride a bobsled down the Olympic track with a professional pilot. Reaching up to 60 mph, you can experience what an Olympic athlete feels, zipping around the corners and flying down the track.
Other family fun activities include obstacle courses and ziplining – even from the top of the 120-meter Olympic ski jump with a thrilling 50 mph ride down. During the summer, you might catch professional Nordic ski jumpers training for the US Olympic Team in the USCO training pool.
Wear comfortable shoes. A leisurely exploration of the park can take at least one hour. It is best to purchase a gold pass online before you go and arrive early to beat the crowds.
Things we like:

The extreme activities are expensive and an additional cost
