There is a fun adventure in Park City that happens from December to April. The Canyons Resort puts up a Gondola Art Stroll. Similar to the Globe Stroll at Christmas time on Park City’s Main Street, there are ski lift gondolas set up throughout the village with little displays inside. You can walk through the Canyons Resort area and find all six of the gondolas. Each gondola has a hidden object which makes the visit a little scavenger hunt. This is a fun winter activity off the slopes.
The Gondola displays are created by local artists, and changed each year. All of the gondolas art focuses on the skiing and snow that make Park City famous. There are cute little figures inside most of the gondolas, too. The gondola are bright red and easy to spot as you walk through the Canyons.
Canyons Resort Village Management Association has put together a map so you can find all of the gondolas. The map also has information about each gondola, the artist, and the hidden object. I did find it difficult to use the map on my phone. I couldn’t get it to pull up the hidden objects when I was there. So I recommend writing down the hidden object for each gondola before you visit. I could only get those links to work on my laptop. Here is the link for the map.
If you are in the Canyons area around lunch or dinner time, we recommend eating at Dos Olas. It was delicious food and great service. Everyone in our family devoured their meal. It is located right next to Gondola #2.
It is free to visit the Gondola Art Stroll, but you will need to pay for parking. Parking at the Canyons can be tricky. We pulled into the parking garage and later found out it was only a day rate, not hourly. So look at the parking lots or street parking, so that you can save on parking. The parking garage was $40 for the day and we were there less than 2 hours. Lesson learned!
The Gondola Art Stroll is a great activity to pair with other things to do in Park City. There are lots of fun family-friendly adventures in this area, inside and out. We have a big list right here: Things to do in Park City.
How fun! I’ve never heard of this, definitely need to go check it out. Thanks for sharing.
