Park City is filled with spectacular mountain views and interesting buildings. Although many people visit simply to ride the slopes or get in touch with nature, there are a lot of interesting places to explore within the man-made realm.
Main Street
Truly a sight in itself, Main Street is filled with Victorian buildings and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The cute and artsy downtown area is filled with restaurants, culture, and things to do. For food, check out Robert Redford's Zoom with an American flair. The Red Banjo Pizza Parlour is a cheaper choice with delicious pizzas and has been run for generations by Park City natives. One street over is the Kimball Art Center where you can view great visual arts and gallery exhibits. Curious about your family? Try to find some information on your ancestors at the Family Tree Center . Find cute shoes at Mary Jane's , and if you are lucky enough to be exploring main street on a Sunday in the summer, you will find the Park Silly Sunday Market with food, local artists' work, and antiques.
Utah Olympic Park
If you've ever dreamed of being an Olympic athlete, you can indulge this fantasy by visiting the Utah Olympic Park . With the chance to climb to the top of the ski jump, ride in a bobsled, or experience the luge, you can pretend you are a 2002 Winter Olympian. Also located in this complex is the Alf Engen Ski Museum with interesting exhibits on skiing. For a relaxing treat, make a reservation at Papillion the Spa . To dine with a view, take a gondola at the Canyons and eat at Red Pine.
Kimball Junction
The main attraction at Kimball Junction is the Tanger Outlet Center . After spending time shopping until you feel like dropping, take a break at the Redstone 8 Cinemas with the largest screens in town. Also in the area is the Swaner Nature Preserve which hosts the Swaner Nature Festival . Although the facility is usually for events, there are a number of walks available if you sign up in advance. If you are getting hungry try the Park City Pizza Co or Loco Lizard Cantina.
Heber Valley
Go for a ride through the scenic countryside with Heber Valley Railroad . Just a jaunt from Park City and with its own unique charm, Heber City has great golf, so go for a round at the Homestead Resort or Red Ledges . Stop in for some pie at Hub Cafe or a hearty meal at the Claim Jumper Steak House.
Prospector Square
Prospector Square is a planned business community just off Kearns Boulevard. A fun area to explore, stop off at Wasatch Bagel Cafe for breakfast or lunch for some great New York-style food. Or, if you are looking for something a little more upscale, try Blind Dog with delicious contemporary cuisine including sushi. Want to do something a little more active? The Park City Racquet Club allows visitors and you can choose from a variety of fun classes or just get a great workout on your own. For those with disabilities, the National Abilities Center aims to give everyone a chance to experience sports and has the equipment and the knowledge to do just that.
