Olympic Village, Park City, UT.


Even though we have lived in Utah since the 2002 winter Olympics, we have never visited the site where they actually took place. It is just a short drive up I-80 from Salt Lake City. The main visitor center and museum situp against the mountains behind Park City. You can see the medals awarded to athletes and some of the equipment they used. You can also see some of the props that were used during the opening ceremonies. There are two cool simulators inside. One takes you down a bobsled track, deep powder skiing, and parasail skiing, and the other takes you down the 120 ski jump. The museum, with exception of the simulators, and walking around the grounds are free, but outside of that it will cost you a fortune.
You can ride tubes down the giant ski jumps, watch the free style ski team practice, ride a zip line, ride the alpine slide, and play on a ropes course. Each of those things costs around $20 per person or you can get an all events day pass for $65. While that may not sound that bad, it is much more expensive than what you can find at other places with similar attractions like the Snowbird Resort.
