If you’ve ever watched the Winter Olympics you might think that bobsledding is only available for the incredible athletes that compete. But believe it or not you can actually go on a bobsled ride on the same historic course that was the home to the bobsled, skeleton, and luge events in the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games. Hop in with one of their professional pilots and go for the ride of a lifetime. All with public health measures in place. Just remember that riders must be 16+ years of age and 100+ lbs. to ride.

Public Skating Sessions | Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns

Finally, you’re going to want to check out the public skating session at the Utah Olympic Oval. The Utah Olympic Oval was built in 2001 in Kearns and it’s just 16 miles west of Salt Lake City. It’s Utah’s only 400-meter speed skating oval in Utah. Plus, you can also skate at their two international-sized ice sheets.
