Summit County Family Activities

            Summit County offers many activities that can truly add memorable experiences to both you and your kids. Both Breckenridge and Silverthorne are home to an extensive recreation center. These recreation centers have large indoor pools, climbing walls, gymnasiums, and work out equipment. Take the family and shoot some hoops or go for a swim. The recreation center offers many youth programs that allow children of all ages to learn and experience all the recreation centers have to offer. For more information call the Breckenridge Recreation Center at 970-453-1734 or the Silverthorne Recreation Center at 970-262-7370.

            Check out a movie at the Skyline Cinema (970-468-6355) in Dillon. With eight state of the art auditoriums there will surely be a movie playing that will interest the whole family. If you're in Breckenridge and don't want to make the drive to Dillon there is also a single theatre located in Breckenridge at the Colorado Mountain College. The theatre is called The Speakeasy (453-7243) and typically features movies that have a smaller opening. Both theatres and show times are featured in the Summit Daily newspaper.
            For years families have been going to Carter Park in Breckenridge for the best sledding in the county. Carter Park has a fairly steep and long slope that opens up into a wide field below so there is no danger in going as fast as you would like. Carter Park is located at the south east corner of Breckenridge near Breckenridge Elementary School.
