The Park City museum is one of the best museums I've been to. Most museums are interesting, but this one really stood out to me. The museum was very well-designed. I loved the movie at the front of the first room, and I loved all the artifacts and history I learned about throughout the museum. Thanks to this museum, I... More

Visited the museum with family on a Tuesday in April, not sure if free entry is available year-round. The museum looks a lot smaller from the entry on Main street than in actuality. Inside, has three floors and still looks new after renovations in 2009. Of particular interest were the original jail and mining tunnel car modified as a short-lived... More

It is very well done and shows how Park City Started. You walk through the old jail and has a reproduction of an old country store. More

This place is great. So much history, really well-done for everyone involved including an impatient 8 and 11 year old. We loved the working mini-replica of the mine (2 stories tall). Many museum items were actual pieces from the mines, and the slopes, which my 11 year old picked up on right away. The basement jail really gave our ghost... More

After 4 trips to Park City we finally took some time to visit the PC Museum. This turned out to be a real find. Right on Main Street but significantly upgraded over the last few years. Museum covers 3 floors with the old PC jail in the basement. The exhibits are well done and make this museum a great stop... More

Very well done. Everyone in our family ages 11, 14, and adults, found it interesting and fun. The kids did a scavenger hunt that they really enjoyed. Allow at least an hour. More

We stopped in because we had extra time before our dinner reservation and were pleasantly surprised by how interesting and well done this museum was. Our daughter enjoyed the hunt for clues around the museum (rewarded by a prize at the end) and we found the history of the Park City area very interesting. Hint - make sure to ask... More

If you are interested in the history of Park City, go to this museum. It has top-notch exhibits that walk you through Park City's history from the silver mining boom town to skiing to the home of the Sundance Film Festival. It was very interesting and worth the price of admission. It's a good different activity for our day off... More

This little gem does a great job of displaying the history of Park City. It is located on the site of the original jail and the cells in the basement including irons remain. Take an hour or two to visit this little gem. They have added an elevator for accesability. More
