Author: Blake Provo
A vacation in Deer Valley during any season provides a chance for kids of all ages to find entertainment and fun. This is agreat family-friendly place to visit. Deer Valley Resort provides a Childrens Center where non-skiing children ages 2 months to 12 years can spend a fun day while their parents hit the slopes. The Children's Center is licensed and offers wonderful activities like story telling, crafts, singing, and playtime with toys.
For children and young adults who are ready to ski, Deer Valley
offers a great selection of runs that are suitable for young
skiers. The resort also offers professional lessons to kids as
individuals or groups. The instructors are specially trained to
work with children, so the experience will be fun and help the
child improve his/her skiing. This is a fantastic way for kids
to work on skiing while their parents challenge themselves on
more advanced terrain. Lessons can be given to children as young
as three.
For visitors who would like to go to into Park City, there are
numerous fun activities offered both winter and summer at the
Park City Mountain Resort. For small children, Little Minors
Park offers fun such as a merry-go-round and choo-choo train.
This little park helps you to include even the tiniest tot in
the fun. Another great feature of this area is the human maze.
Your kids will get lost in the fun at this larger-than-life
labyrinth. In addition, there is fun awaiting the bold child who
can grab a harness and try out the climbing wall or jump and
flip on the trampolines of the Legacy Launcher.
This area also has an Alpine Slide. The rides are open to children as young as 2 as long as they're with an adult. Alpine Slide includes an awesome chair lift ride which takes you up the mountain followed by a track where you can sled back down to the bottom! It can be a gentle ride or quite fast depending on how liberally you apply the brake. One of the most recent attractions is the Alpine Coaster for those who want the thrill of an amusement park in a beautiful mountain setting. The entire family can also engage in a round of miniature golf on an 18-hole course. For families wanting to travel a little further, just miles from Park Citys center is the Utah Olympic Park which has its own thrills to offer.
No matter what season it is, this area offers fun and
entertainment for kids of all ages. There are activities
available to meet every price range. Hiking and biking in the
summer and snowshoeing, sledding, or skating in the winter are
fun, inexpensive family activities. The downtown area provides
kid-friendly dining and plenty of shops to buy an ice cream cone
or sweet treat to top off a day of fun.

That sounds like a really nice resort. I'm a little scared at the thought of 2 year old children on the slopes though! Would that not be a bit dagerous for them, even with an adult looking after them?
The activity center sounds good though - I know a few sporty people whose children aren't of the same inclination, and it would be a nice way to let them vacation together, without the kids being dragged out to do stuff they don't enjoy.
