Tour the Park City Museum

CultureEasyYear-round

Descend into the original territory jail and explore the interactive exhibits detailing Park City’s evolution from silver mine to ski destination.

Itinerary tips

  • 1Plan to spend at least 90 minutes to two hours to fully engage with the three floors of interactive exhibits.
  • 2Ride the free Main Street trolley directly to the museum entrance to avoid the steep paid parking rates in the Old Town garages.
  • 3Purchase your tickets online in advance during the Sundance Film Festival or peak ski weeks to ensure entry during capacity limits.
  • 4Bring a light sweater or jacket even in summer, as the basement level housing the original Territorial Jail stays significantly cooler than the street level.
  • 5Visit the museum on your first day in town to gain historical context that makes the surrounding Victorian architecture more meaningful.
  • 6Check the museum’s basement calendar for the traveling exhibit schedule to see if there are limited-time national collections on display.
