Reviews of Park City Museum (Museum)

Kerem Cantekin

Very original, and a very good museum. In my opinion, it is a sufficient reason to come to Park City. Its exhibition on mines are wonderful, and teaches you a lot on mining, as well as its importance for the Utah. So is the exhibition on how Park City transformed from a mining town to a skiing town. However my favorite part of the museum is certainly the jail. Having family members imprisoned for political reasons, and working on a research on prisons, it was an interesting feeling to sit inside of one. Also stories of the people who actually have been there is really interesting.

This is a little treasure of a museum that gives you an in-depth history of Park City. I learned so much about the city, and enjoyed seeing the original jail in the basement! Definitely worth a couple hours if you're on Park City Main St.

My family and I really enjoyed our visit to the Park City Museum. The exhibits were interesting, informative and often interactive. Save your receipt and get a discount for ice-cream at the Java Cow just up the street.

Shirin Spangenberg

I love this museum, it's interactive and fun. I've been going for years with my kids on school trips etc. Then one day my husband, kids and I were walking by and noticed it was a free locals day. I said hey we should go in. We go in and my husband was astounded at how fantastic the museum was. He's like Mikey and doesn't like anything, so that is quite the compliment. Thank you for doing such a great job, Shirin

This was the coolest museum! There were tons of interactive exhibits. Lots of hands on things and reenactments. I loved it!

Great lil museum!

Belinda Abraham

I didn't go into the museum, but I understand that it takes an hour to tour. They do offer a Military, Seniors 65+ and Student discount. My family and I have a tradition. Whenever we go on vacation, we get a Christmas tree ornament to remember our trip by. I came into the museum/gift shop to find an ornament. I did find one and I'm very happy with it. It was fun to browse the gift shop and the staff was wonderful to interact with.

I love rocks! In the entry lobby you can play w/ magnets, sort through stones of all types and colors:) But, from my childhood, I've always loved seeing the original jail walls in the basement.

Roger Pownell

Quaint museum that shows the mining history of Park City and the large fire that took it down. A lot of interesting exhibits and dioramas and takes about an hour and a half to do the entire museum. Also a few more modern exhibits as the city transformed itself into a tourist attraction. Overall, worth the time.

I really enjoyed this museum. It depicts the history of park city very well. The replica mine gives a good feel for the working conditions of the mine. It has in the basement jail cells that were still in use in the 1960s. Definetly worth the admission price.

Lots of history. $12 admission, or ask for the Senior Discount if it applies to you. They say it takes 45 minutes to view the museum. It took me 1 1/2 hours to view the museum, and the only reason I left is because the place was closing.

Eric Drummond

Was a neat little museum about the history of Park City. The kids really enjoyed it as well. Worth the hour or so to go through it but we like that sort of thing.

Johnny Beej

It's just a fun experience. I've lived in Utah my entire life and never knew how rich of a history that park city has. Pay for the tour! It's totally worth it

The Park city museum in downtown Park city hosts a wealth of information from the past of the little mining town that turned into a great tourist destination from mountain biking trails and hiking trails to world class skiing and other winter activities. Take time to explore Park city and all of its beautiful sites and scenery.

Loved the interactive parts.

Quite a sight, excellent if your interested in history of Park city, and how it developed from obscure mining town to a premium holiday resort. Very nice staff too! Although its on the small side, and a bit confusing to follow the timeline.

Irene Ramirez

Gr8 place

Jeff Walters

Nice smaller museum on main street in Park city. Explains history of the town and surrounding mining area including the start of the skiing and movie events. $13 admission is worth it and the whole museum should take about an hour to enjoy.

Jon Rosdahl

It kept the attention a a 6yr old for over an hour....the adults left wanting more.

Fun Place, a lot of park city history. Maybe you will end up in the jail.

Aubrey Odom

This is a really well done museum, I learned a ton about the life in the mines and happenings on main street in the early 1900's. They also have the original jail in the basement and information about the big fire. Not very expensive for tickets, and they offer student, child, and senior discounts. You'll learn a ton!

Chris Hatch

I was surprised at the prices of the museum, so I chose not to go through. It really adds up for a family, especially when the kids may not be interested. The gift shop had a lot of stuff/toys geared toward kids, and a few souvenir type gifts.

Albin Eugen Trotter Echeverría

Bery good reproductions of the time were the city was mostly mining only, very detailed history and different stuff from different historical moments of park city.

ann Reed

Very interesting ,alot of history about Park city,Utah

Jenny D

I enjoyed seeing all the antiques and reading about the Park City area. The basement jail is a must! It's gives a person chills to think about the poor souls who were locked up down there.

David L Clarke

Very interesting. Not for children though. Very well thought out and a lot of items from the era of the Gold Rush. Incredible amount of history. Well worth the visit.

Rob Johnson

This is a little gem with lots of interesting history. Well worth a visit if you've never been before.

James Howard

It's a nice place.

Robert Christensen

This is an amazing three- story, store-front museum located right on Main Street in downtown Park City. I was really impressed with the quality of exhibits and artifacts. It is built on top of the old Park City jail which is open for exploring. Inside this wonderful museum you will find an actual mine elevator, an original underground subway car for skiers and many other small to huge display items. Don't miss experiencing this great little gem while in Park City.

Eula McNulty

Loved the crystal selection

Sperry Shred

Super friendly and educated staff. Great place to bring a class or family. Get ready to learn about the history of Park City. Awesome souvenirs to buy after.

Paul Cutts

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. We learned a lot about Park City and the surrounding areas history from well before it was a ski resort area. The only major downside was the lack of bathrooms in the museum (they are outside the museum building and down some stairs) and the cost for entry (2 adults was $24).

prissy Velasquez

Really friendly aan knowledgeable staff!! Admission is only 10 dollars and we spent at least and hour maybe more in there . Exhibits and artifacts are in great condition! They also offer fun interactive activities for all ages!

Wayne Wallace

We had a great time. The staff were friendly and knowledgable about Park City's history.

Justin Fra

Excellent stop for visitors to learn about the old park city and its many uses and turns along the way like the city burning down during the mining days.

Travis Taylor

So much cooler than you think it will be!

Bryan Mangum

Awesome museum and great explanation of the Park City area.

Rex Davenport

Nice place

Gavin Plummer

For the price it is ok but, like everything else in Park City, it seemed like I overpaid. Part of the museum was closed and I was not informed prior to buying the tickets. When I asked for a partial refund (it was a pretty large section of the museum to miss) I was just told they dont do that.

Michael Glasgow

Really enjoyed the history they presented. Did not have enough time to see the whole museum before we had to leave to get to the airport. Will return next year and finish it up!

Joni Fisher

Interesting place to visit

Rod Shepherd

On of the best museums I've visited. And I know history. Concise explanations of PC's short history. The mine map and diorama are worth price alone.

Dionne Ashley

A really fascinating hidden gem in Park City. Their prices are extremely reasonable ($10.00 per adult per day) and they allow photography as well. A lot of time, thought, and effort has gone into the quality of their exhibits, and I'm amazed at the level of efficiency in which they utilize their limited space! They offer a fun little gift shop as well. This location is also a museum suitable for children of most ages (in my opinion!).

Laura Richins

Interesting to see the history

Jeffrey Vaillant

Great exhibits. Clear narratives.

kathy dean

Thanks got there late but staff nice and allowed grandkids to see part of displays ! Nice museum but need more than 30 minutes to experience

Christopher Kegler

We have been coming to Park City for years and we finally decided to take the tour. It's an interactive history tour, even great for kids. We took our 2 1/2 year old, which we questioned, but she enjoyed it as well.

Bruce Haydon

Great place to kill time while in Park City.

Emerson Shaffer

Good museum, great for kids.

Ray Furbush

Great place reminded me of how park city was looking ago. Started my career in the silver mines here.

Daniel Lennox

Very well done museum. Great props and features everyone was super helpful.

Luke Atticus Kennard

This was the coolest museum I’ve ever been too. It’s got so many cool automations for kids. Hit a button and something moves. Blow up the dynamite down stairs. See a replica of the silver mines. The exhibits are so creative.

Dennis Tingey

Interesting history of Park City from "gentile" mining to becoming a ski destination.

Tom Colletti

A fairly small museum, but really interesting if you are interested in the history of different places. It offers a description of the history of Park City, Utah starting with silver mining through its current incarceration as a resort.

Lorraine Peters

Reminds, me of Whistler back home

Iris Bea

The museum will take you through a historical journey of Park City from a mining town to a ski resort town. There are many interactive exhibits and you can explore the old prison cells in the museum as well.

ArSha Ramiya

Pricey. But worth a visit. Not sure what Route 66 has to do with it.

Roberto Villanueva Rojas

Small place but great history and explains about Park City.

Abdulrahman Alnasri

Great! I wish there was a suggested path between sections to follow

Sir Frisco Foodie

Didnt actually go into the museum but the lighted side walk out side with all the fresh fallen snow made for an excellent photo opportunity.
