Utah Olympic Park
3419 Olympic Parkway, Park City, UT
Built for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, Utah Olympic Park was the site of the bobsled, skeleton, luge, ski jumping, and Nordic combined events. The park, located just outside downtown Park City, now serves as a training center for Olympic hopefuls and is a top tourist attraction for visitors and locals interested in Olympic history.
Utah Olympic Park offers plenty of year-round adventure, from bobsled rides with a professional driver to zipline experiences to hiking and biking trails, plus a climbing wall for kids. You can learn about Utah’s Olympic past at the George Eccles Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games Museum, and explore the history of skiing in the American West at the Alf Engen Ski Museum. Guided tours of the Olympic venue offer the chance to stand atop one of the world’s highest Nordic ski jumps.

Museum admission is free, but a fee is required for the guided tour and all activities.
The on-site café is open 11am to 3pm Wednesday to Sunday and daily in summer.
Utah Olympic Park tours and the ski museum are accessible to wheelchair users. Accessible outdoor activities are also available at the park through the National Ability Center.
