Art Classes at Kimball Art Center
Throughout the winter Kimball Arts Center offers a wide variety of classes for children ages 3 and older. When my son was 7 years old, we took Making Pottery Together: Wheel Throwing I class together. For two hours we messed around with clay – literally – throwing pots on electronic wheels. Pottery not your thing? There are painting, drawing, photography, metals, glass, and mixed media classes, too. For families traveling to Park City during the holidays this year, Kimball Art Center offers classes themed for Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Mother’s Day, all of which are noted on their classes calendar.
Programs at the Park City Library
The Park City Library is a great spot for kids with programs held at various times throughout the week. Let your child unleash their creativity during Lego Club, hosted Fridays at 2:00 PM. If you’re traveling with an infant, you can join a Baby and Me session on Mondays at 3:00 PM or Wednesdays at 10:00 AM. Music and Movement is a lively hour where you and your toddler explore a variety of musical instruments, dances, and songs on Thursdays at 11:00 PM. Or simply snuggle up in the children’s section with a good book and stuffed animal. Program descriptions and times may be found on the library website.
Kamas Pool
The South Summit Aquatic Center, located in Kamas, has something for kids of all ages. Children can enjoy everything from the shallow kiddie playground, a water slide suited for younger children, a pool climbing wall, and a WiBit Aqua obstacle course for older children. During the winter months, the Aquatic Center is open from 2:30-9:00 PM, Monday-Friday and Saturday from 7:00 AM-9:00 PM with extended hours during Christmas and New Year’s.
