Utah Olympic Park | 100 Pounds and up | Adventurin'

/ 12 July 2016 / 0 Comments

When we went to explore Utah's Olympic Park we had all of our 11 kids with us, ranging in ages from newborn to 11-years-old. We ended up splitting up into groups and the toddlers played mostly on the free stuff, while the bigger kids got to do more of the activities. However, none of our kids were big enough to do all the attractions at the park.

To participate in the extreme zipline you have to weigh at least 100 pounds. None of our kids did, and honestly we have small children, they probably won't until they are in high school :(

To participate in the the final Summit Adventure Course and the largest Extreme Summer tubing hill, you are suppose to be 13 years old.

Anyone over 48" tall can ride the Alpine Slide on their own.

To participate in the Summer Bobsled Ride you must be at least 100 pounds and 13-years-old. Also, the bobsled is not included in your gold pass you do have to pay for it seperately, so none of tried that one. One day we'll have to go back without all the kids and check it out.

None of our kids were big enough for any of these biggest attractions, but we could tell that they were definately the most popular as the park had more adult and teenage guests that they did kids.

No matter what rides you end up doing you'll want to wear athletic style clothes and tennis shoes (closed-toe shoes are required).
