An escape to Deer Valley during any season provides opportunities for children of all ages to have a good time. This is a family-friendly environment. Deer Valley Resort provides a Children's Center where non-skiing children ages 2 months to 12 years can spend a fun day while their parents hit the slopes. This center is licensed and offers great activities such as story telling, crafts, and singing.
For children and young adults who are ready to ski, Deer Valley offers a great selection of runs that are suitable for young skiers. The resort also offers professional lessons to kids. These lessons are available one-on-one or in groups. The instructors are specially trained to work with children, so learning will be fun and help the child enhance his/her skiing skills. This is a great way for children to practice their skills while their parents challenge themselves on harder terrain. Lessons are available for children as young as three.
For travelers who would like to go to into Park City, there are numerous fun activities offered at Park City Mountain Resort during the winter and summer months. For smaller children, Little Minors Park offers fun such as a merry-go-round and choo-choo train. This little park helps you to include even your youngest children in the fun. Another great feature of this area is the human maze. This larger-than-life labyrinth is an adventure for kids of all ages. In addition, there is fun awaiting the daring child who can harness up and try out the climbing wall or jump around on the trampolines of the Legacy Launcher.
This area also has an Alpine Slide. The rides are open to children as young as 2 as long as they're with an adult. This summer attraction 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 your use of the brake. A newer attraction is the Alpine Coaster. This roller-coaster is perfect for people who want the excitement of an amusement park in a gorgeous mountain setting. The whole family can also engage in a round of miniature golf on an 18-hole course. For families wanting to travel a little further, just a few miles from Park City�s center is the Utah Olympic Park which has its� own great thrills to offer.
Regardless of the season, this wonderful area offers fun for children of all ages. There are activities available to fit every price range and budget. Going on hikes or bike rides in the summer and snowshoeing, sledding, or skating in the winter are fun, low-cost things to do as a family.
