The Beehive state is just full of spots for exploration and thrills, but sometimes you can overlook an attraction that’s right in front of you. For instance, when you think of Park City adventures, skiing and hiking come to mind.

How old and how tall must you be to participate?

Participating in the quarry activities independently requires a weigh-in to determine which attractions guests can access. 70 lbs is the minimum weight to do the “Aerial Adventures” rope course, so let’s estimate this activity is generally for ages 10 and up, depending on size of child.

Aww man, my kids are too young

Actually, there is a spectacular playground called Kidz Kove on the site and a program for kids between 45 and 75 lbs to try specific routes on the Quarry (including the zip line, free fall, and rock climbing) with their grown-up. Worth it!

How do I get started?

Buy tickets online, based on start time. Many of the activities within the quarry are available for lower prices, a la carte, but for those driving 90 minutes from the Bay Area, I recommend going for the Aerial Adventure pass, which costs about $75 per person.

Is this too scary for anyone?

What to expect when visiting Quarry Park

Picnic tables and a taco truck onsite make it easy for you to break up your four-hour adventure with a lunch or snack break, and you’ll need it. Climbing burns a lot of calories and there is hardly any shade in the quarry.
