soldier hollow

Very sad to see. This has just been left to ruin. Chanced on this driving through seeing sights on a visit to see my relatives.

I purchased a groupon for our family to go tubing at Soldier Hollow. I called and spoke with a lady who said we could come Friday night (since you can't use the voucher on Saturdays). When we got to the lodge, they asked us for our name. I gave my name and was told oh you're not on the list. I told the lady that I had spoken with someone a few weeks prior and that she had told me I had a reservation. This lady stated I was not on the list and could not have my family go tubing after we drove an hour and everyone had gotten all their clothes on. She stated there was no room and that too many people had reservations. As we went to leave we walked up to the hill to see this long line of people and to our surprise there wasn't even a line and there was an entire shed full of tubes. It was quite frustrating to be turned away after paying money, 'making a reservation', taking the time to go, driving an hour and then being told sorry we didn't pencil you in so you can't go. When you read the instructions on groupon it says nothing about a reservation, I only knew about it because I had called to ask some other clarifying questions. The tubing looked fun. Wish we could've done it and not wasted our time and hard earned money.

We just had a sledding birthday party and had a great time. Staff was very pleasant. Hot cocoa machine was broken which was a bummer. Other than that it was a blast and we will definitely go again!

Our family traveled to the Zermatt Resort on Thanksgiving Eve for an overnight stay. We boarded the Heber Creeper the next morning for the 11:00 am Polar Express. From the moment we departed the staff made the trip a wonderful experience. The train itself is delightful because of it's authenticity. The staff had the attention of all of the little children from the beginning by playing games & singing Christmas carols. Mrs. Claus was beautiful & helped build the anticipation of the children. I wish she had been the one to hand out the cookies to the passenger instead of the recipes but it was still great. Santa was awesome & our grandchildren will never forget the individual bells he gave each one. They were delighted & our pictures of their faces say it all! The elves dancing in the aisles with the children on the way back was the frosting on the cake. Some were shy to try at first but then they really got into it. The only thing I would suggest, is that in the beginning when the elf is talking on the speaker would be to turn the music way down because it felt to chaotic in the beginning & it was hard to understand her. Other than that, it was worth every penney!

Waited an hour to get on the course because of frost, understood that. But their were two four groups so 8 golfers ahead of us. It was not until the group behind us called the course did the marshal move it along quicker.

What a fun ride and really quite close to Heber and Midway. Stop at the train tracks and take in the Deer Lake views as wells as birds and deer.

This isn't what one typically thinks of in regards to Soldier Hollow but we attended a great Native American Pow Wow. They said it was one of the largest Pow Wow's in the nation. Solder Summit was a great location. The weather was cool. They offered free camping. There were restrooms and showers in the lodge. The Pow Wow was so interesting and my son learned a lot. So many different dancers and so many costumes. I would definitely attend again and would recommend the even.THey had traditional Native American drummers and singers. There was a grandfather drumming and singing in a circle of other drummers and his grandson was sitting on his lap singing. It was so touching. A tribute to the culture passing from one generation to the next.I give Soldier Hollow four stars instead of five beause it is the middle of freaking no where!

Five years ago, I would've given this activity a much better rating. We've been going tubing at Soldier Hollow most years during our Christmas visit to the area for quite awhile. It used to be super fun! But the last few times we've gone, the lines have been so bad that we got a lot, lot fewer turns down the hill during our two-hour window and I felt sort of ripped off. There is a set number of tickets they'll sell for each two-hour window of the day, which should limit the crowd and allow you to get a good number of rides in. But it is apparent that they've drastically increased the number of tickets they're selling per time slot, and the result is BAD. We were waiting so long in line at the bottom each time that it really detracted from the fun experience.

Had a great time on the tubing hill with kids ranging from 4 years old to 21. Don't go late in the season as the warmer weather makes the hills so slow that you have to push yourself down the hill.

Sometimes at a recreation site one can be a little nervous and intimidated. Especially if the activity is new, or involves new procedures. We were a little like that doing the simple things like loading up for the tow, and getting off, and getting in line and getting started-- at each step, the staff were fun and friendly and seemed to understand our silly apprehensions without making us feel silly, I really appreciated that.

We came to Soldier Hollow in December to snowshoe and this weekend to go tubing.Soldier Hollow is beautiful, and it was fun to snowshoe on the same track as the 2002 winter Olympic cross country skiers!Tubing here is a blast! However, this weekend was unseasonable warm and the snow was very slushy. We weren't able to get down the hill without stopping. We went in to tell them about the conditions and they gave us a full refund. Very impressive!! We have been tubing here before, and highly recommend it...just be sure to go when it's cold!!

They would absolutley not consider a refund. Before scheduling make certain you will be able to go at your scheduled time. We scheduled to go tubing as a large extended family on March 1st. When we scheduled they said we would need to pre-pay in order to hold the slots open for our family of about 20 people. They indicated that it often fills up and it is important to schedule in advance. Understandable. That was a month early. Since we scheduled it has been unseasonably warm. THe only snow around the area is the manmade snow there. Not the best conditions to expect to have a fun family experience. ANd since many of us were travelling long distances we decided not to chnce a poor experience. When we called to cancel they said that they will not refund any money. They will reschedule, but not for next year, so we would have to go sometime in March with warmer than normal weather expected. I understand they don't want people scheduling then cancelling, but to not even consider the extenuating circumstances of such warm weather is terrible customer service and I would never consider going to support this business again after this treatment.

I think Soldier Hollow has one of the best views in Wasatch County. Tubing was really fun and staff there was really friendly. Knowing that some parts of 2002 Olympics was held here made the place more beautiful. Nothing too special you can some here snowshoe, cross country ski and tube and later you can relax at the lodge by the fireplace and enjoy the view from the big glass windows.

We did a biathlon lesson here this weekend. It included a short XC skiing lesson and then a shooting lesson on the Olympic range. We had a great time (our instructor even gave us our paper targets to keep as a souvenir).We went to a few different locations around Park City to go XC skiing and this was by far our favorite. There are a lot of different trails with different difficulty levels to challenge anyone.Worth the drive out to Midway!

Tubbing at Soldier Hollow was very fun!! We were hesitate due to other reviews. However, we had a great time! It is great that they pull you up the hill. This is the best thing ever! The tubes were nice, the staff was helpful, and the hills were great! We went on a date and still had a great time as adults. The hill is not too steep but big enough to be fun. They have music and you get to get relax as you are pulled up. The lodge is not very nice and was very stinky but we didn't have to spend much time in it. Two hours was perfect for the tubbing and we got to go down the mountain ten times!
