πŸ’‘ Tips from Dan

Your Road Warrior Guide

  • β€’Bring along a jacket, the museum can get a bit chilly.
  • β€’Don't miss the 'Mega Mine' exhibit for an interactive mining experience.
  • β€’Visit on 'Free Locals Day' (typically the last Tuesday of each month) for complimentary admission if you're a Utah resident.
  • β€’Make a full day of it! Park City's Main Street, filled with shops and restaurants, is just steps away.
  • β€’Plan ahead and book a guided tour to get the most out of your visit.

Based on what you'll be doing, Dan recommends:

Keeps water cold for hours. Hydration is critical in desert heat.
