Park City isn’t just known for its world-class skiing, snowboarding, and access to trails, we also

Every small town has a few shops that everyone knows and loves. In Park City, Java Cow is one of those. Located on Historic Main Street in Old Town Park City, Java Cow is a staple for locals and visitors alike. Best known for their homemade ice cream, locally baked goods, and coffee, Java Cow has a little bit of something for everyone. It’s a must-visit shop if you’re visiting Park City with kids, but it’s also just as great to go there even if you don’t have little ones in tow. 

Go full throttle this summer in Park City on an electric bicycle from Pedego! Akin to a regular bicycle you are able to manually peddle a Pedego bike, but that’s where the similarities end. Pedego Electric Bikes go farther and faster, empowering you to see more in less time. With a power bank attached to your bike, you can make the decision to pedal like a regular bike, use the pedal-assist feature, or use the throttle to get the power you need when hills come your way. One could argue that riding a Pedego might be a little more fun than a regular bicycle with that differentiating WOO factor. It most definitely feels like being a kid again! 

Here in the Wasatch Back, we have a deep heritage that’s rooted in agriculture, mining, and exploration. While our family is getting a great taste of all the adventures that can be found in the Park City area, this year we’re trying to be a bit more well-rounded and experience what’s right around us on a deeper level. 

While Park City is often recognized as a world-class winter resort destination, summers here are truly magical. Perfect temperatures, 400+ miles (643+ kilometers) of easy-access trails, outdoor deck dining galore, and let us not forget the plethora of live music and outdoor concert venues. Park City and Summit County’s live music scene is back and includes something for every budget (some are FREE!) and every taste. 

There’s a lot more to Park City than just our skiing and outdoor adventures. We have a rich and storied historic past that began as a rambunctious silver mining town, nearly fading into history as a ghost town, and then re-invented as a ski town that grew into a world-class destination that hosts global events such as the 2002 Winter Olympics and the Sundance Film Festival. As you roam the streets of Park City you might come across abandoned mines, tram towers, and commemorative statues that are relics of our past that might peak your interest and curiosity about the history of Park City and how it all began. We’ve found one of the best ways to delve into Park City’s past is via a tour that will fully immerse you in the history and culture of our mountain town. 

Park City is an absolutely wonderful destination for the entire family. Kids and adults alike will love the variety of outdoor adventures in Park City. There is never a lack of things to do here, the problem is always choosing between so many wonderful options. Whether you’re visiting Park City with preschoolers or tweens, you’ll find something for everyone here. The ideas that I’m sharing below are all activities that we love and are perfect for kids ages 12 and under.
