Who says Breckenridge Ski Area is only for snow hounds? Did you know that the Peak 8 Fun Park is open with activities for most ages from mid-June through early September?
The Fun Park features adrenaline inducing features such as the Ten Mile Flyer zip line, the Alpine slide as well as less intense activities like Segway tours, gem panning, and the Mineshaft maze.
The Goldcoast coaster is a fun ride without being too scary that winds through the pine forest. Great for kids 8-15. For the little ones, there is a bounce house and of course, the mini golf is always a hit.
Here are some of great features of the Peak 8 Fun Park:
The Colorado chair is back open this summer as a six-pack lift with access to hiking and biking trails on Peak 8
The Kids’ Base Area offers three attractions for children weighing between 30 – 100lbs., including a small kids zip line, climbing wall, bungee trampoline, mini golf, bounce house, maze, and a kids summer tubing hill.
To access the fun park I recommend riding the Breck Connect gondola with parking at the transit center off Watson Avenue. The ride takes you over Cucumber Gulch wildlife area where people have recently spotted moose, deer, and beavers. The views are amazing so bring a camera!
If you go be sure to wear plenty of sunscreen and bring water. A granola bar is great for a snack but the on-mountain dining options are also fantastic.
There are a couple options right on Peak 8 including Ski Hill Grill and the T-Bar for happy hour. Or take the gondola back to Peak 7 on a short ride to Sevens, located in the Grand Lodge on Peak 7. Their wood-fired pizza is fantastic and the deck is a great spot for happy hour or a sunny lunch.
Come join us during the lovely summer months and see why Breckenridge is a year round destination!
