Take a Walk Down Historic Main Street
Not every activity during a vacation needs to be busy and on the move. Instead, spend some time relaxing with your dad and take a stroll down Historic Main Street. While the Kimball Art Center has moved to its spacious new home on Kearns Blvd, Main Street still hosts the famous Kimball Arts Festival every August, and you can explore numerous independent galleries like the Meyer Gallery or Montgomery-Lee Fine Art right on the strip.
Park City originated as a mining town and still holds historic buildings throughout its downtown district. Historic Main Street is lined with a variety of shops, art galleries, and restaurants for you to peruse.
The Kimball Art Center is always a favorite to see stellar works of art or grab a morning cup of coffee at Java Cow. Many of the restaurants offer fine dining at a whole new level allowing you to treat your dad to a decadent meal worthy of the celebration. These restaurants include Riverhorse on Main and Grappa, both with decadent menus and drink lists.
Night on the Town
If dad prefers a guy’s night out, you can always check out the local bar scene here in Park City. You can find more casual spots that are perfect for a guy’s night out with drinks. No Name Saloon and The Spur Bar and Grill are both spots that are popular with the locals. Grab your favorite beer on draft or order up a cocktail or two to create memories dad will cherish after the trip has ended.
Take Dad Fly Fishing
You will also find plenty of outdoor activities that your dad is sure to love here in Park City. Fly fishing is always a popular pastime and can be enjoyed nearby at Provo River. A blue-ribbon fishery is located on the river, boasting one of the highest counts of wild, self-sustaining brown and rainbow trout in the country.
Because it is a protected Blue Ribbon fishery, be sure to check current catch-and-release regulations for the specific section you are fishing. If you and dad are experienced fly fishers you can easily bring your gear and head on out to the water.
However, beginners and novice fisherman may wish to book a guide who can take them to the hot spots for fishing. Some local tour guides you can book through include High Country Fly Fishers, All Seasons Adventures Fly Fishing, Park City Outfitters, and Wasatch Adventure Guides.
Having an experience guide with you will make sure you are prepared for everything the activity calls for, giving you the best shot possible at getting a trophy sized catch. Ensure you purchase a 365-day or multi-day Utah fishing license online via the DWR website before heading out. Most local outfitters can confirm if your specific guide is DWR-certified under the updated 2026 state requirements.
Round on the Green
The summer season is the perfect time to take your dad on the green and enjoy a round of golf or two. Park City is home to Park City Golf Club and Canyons Golf where you can step up to the tee. These local golf courses are a favorite as you will have the beautiful mountains in the backdrop.
The golf courses will be able to supply you with rental clubs for the day so you can experience some of the best golf out there. The elevation here in Park City helps with how far your golf ball can soar on the course. Don’t miss out on some of the finest greens there are to experience.
Hiking Around Park City
A relaxing day of exploring the hiking trails around Park City is currently waiting for you up here. Hiking in the area can be experienced at any point of the year but June is a great time to do it before it gets hotter over the summer. There are plenty of pine trees in the area that will provide all the shade you need. Most of the trails surround the city and branch out into the mountains.
Popular routes like the Armstrong Trail or the Silver Lake Loop offer varying difficulty levels. You can find trails that are easy enough for an older dad or more adventurous terrain that will reward you with great views. While you may spot deer or elk, keep a respectful distance from moose, which are frequently sighted near the brushy draws in early summer. Don’t miss out on getting outside!
