Top 10 Museums in Utah, United States
Welcome to “The Greatest Snow on Earth” – Utah’s paradise for all outdoor enthusiasts! As host of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Park City knows how to entertain winter fun seekers. Snowboarders and skiers head for miles of spectacular slopes with deep fluffy powder and breathtaking mountain views. The Olympic Park provides family-friendly ski programs, rides and shows. Alta, Sundance, Snowbird and Brighton are other popular destinations for cross country and Alpine skiers. Those alluring snowy slopes turn to rolling wildflower fields in the summer. Golfing, fishing, horseback riding and water sports replace chilly outdoor sports adventures. Corral the family, pack a picnic and catch one of the ski lifts for an afternoon of hiking or mountain biking along scenic trails. Head to Salt Lake City, where Temple Square hosts millions of visitors a year. Bryce Canyon and Arches National Park are famous for surreal landscapes from horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters to unusual rock formations and hundreds of natural sandstone arches. Closer to home, wander along the quaint main streets of mountain villages to browse, shop and enjoy lunch at an outdoor café. At the end of the day, head home for an outdoor barbecue and an evening of games. Home rentals blend privacy, space and comfort with the cost-saving advantage of eating some meals at home.

Made the reservation online and it worked perfectly. You can use your phone to scan barcodes for exterior and interior rooms (the upstairs is closed). They are clearly being careful due to COVID-19, which we appreciated. The volunteer who let us in was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. It is such an interesting bit of history with photos and period furnishings. Highly recommended!

6. Park City Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 550 reviews
Discover Park City's history at the Park City Museum on Historic Main Street. Prospectors discovered silver in 1868 in the area that soon after became Park City. Mine owners made fortunes, while thousands of miners simply made a living. After silver prices declined, Park City reinvented itself as a ski resort town. Interactive displays tell the Park City story in an engaging manner. Fun for the whole family! Open 7 days a week (Mon-Sat 10-7, Sun 12-6).

Great museum that is much larger than it appears from the street. Interactive displays and videos about mining, skiing, their great fire, the Sundance Film festival, and more.

Exhibits explain the geologic history of the region.
Reviewed By B2917UApatricias - Hartland, United States
Very nice museum with excellent displays of archaeological finds, fossils and bones. There are dinosaur skeletal replicas and an outdoor garden where various types of dinosaur models are displayed. The geologic history of the area is explained in a short film that is available upon entering the museum. The entrance fee is very reasonable with adult, child and senior prices. There is a very nice gift shop available inside the museum as well. Touring this place would take 1-2 hours and the museum is a place that would be enjoyed by young and old alike.

Reviewed By jcromero27
This was my wife and I’s first trip to Salt Lake City and we wanted to find a nice museum with significant local historic value. After reading reviews of several museums in the area, we decided to visit this Pioneer Museum. We are very glad we did. First, the location is very nice, it is located right across the street from the Capital Building, so once you finish your walk-through of the museum, you can enjoy a nice walk around the Capital. Astonishingly, this museum is free to visit. It is more and more rare to find decent free museums. The staff at the front door were very pleasant and gave a very good description of the museums layout prior to our adventuring through the three floors and an addition wing of artifacts. All the items in the museum were specific to the area and were in great condition. If you enjoy historic pieces, I would highly recommend stopping by this museum for a couple of hours while you are in Salt Lake City.
