Have a podium moment
Hold an Olympic torch, play interactive ski-jumping games, check out Olympian Bode Miller’s ski gear, and watch video highlights of the ’02 Games at the Alf Engen Ski Museum and the 2002 Eccles Olympic Museum.
Guided tours ($7, $5 ages 3–17) include a toe-curling view from the top of the 120-meter Olympic ski jump. Free admission; in the Joe Quinney Winter Sports Center, Utah Olympic Park.
Learn to luge
Zoom at up to 55 mph down the ice track used in the ’02 Olympics in a one-person, feet-first luge. Workshops ($75; wasatchluge.org for dates) start low and slow to build skill and confidence.
Or ride the Comet, a four-person bobsled (through Mar 21; closed Sun; $200; no children under 16; olyparks.com), to fly at up to 80 mph with 5 Gs of force ― equal to a 40-story drop in just under a minute.
Slice the ice

Public skate $4, $3 ages 12 and under, rentals $2; 5662 South 4800 West (Cougar Lane), Kearns; 801/963-7121.
Fulfill a need for speed
