The Best Non-Ski Activities in Park City for Anyone
From gallery hopping to low-key mountain adventures, spa days, and more, Park City has something for everyone. Peruse our list of the best activities to curate your perfect vacation day.
Arts and Entertainment
Explore Historic Main Street: If outstanding food, boutique shopping, and gallery cruising are your idea of a lovely day, Main Street is where it all takes place. Stroll through the heart of Park City, along Main Street’s quaint architecture, for an authentic PC experience. Warm up with a cup of joe at Atticus Coffee and Tea. Check out more than 70 unique shops and galleries, including souvenir shops, fine apparel, and one-of-a-kind art. Dine at renowned restaurants like 350 Main and Cafe Terigo.
Make Art at Red Flower Studios: Learn the art of glass blowing with talented instructors at Red Flower Studios. They offer all levels of classes, plus you get to make your own objet d'art as a memento of our Park City trip.
Indulge in Après Ski: You don’t have to spend the day skiing to reap the benefits of a good, old-fashioned après ski party. You can still enjoy all the mountainside fun, drinks, and feasts without hitting the slopes.
Catch a Show at the Egyptian Theatre: Park City history and our art scene converge at the spectacular Egyptian Theatre. Built in the early 1800s, then succumbing to fire, then getting a major rebuild, the Egyptian has been a Main Street icon since 1888. Live performances—from plays to ballets, musicals, and more—can be found weekly, so check out their calendar for upcoming shows.
