Our Park City day-trip guide calls it the most expensive place in Utah, and much of that expense is optional for a day visitor. The parking, the bus and a short list of counters let you spend an afternoon on Main Street without a Main Street lunch bill. This page is the practical version: where to leave the car for free, how to get around for free, and which places sit at Google's lowest price level ($), grouped by where they are, with hours as listed on Google in October 2026.
No taste notes, and no prices beyond what each place's own listing shows. For the day trip itself, the routes and what to do, see our Park City from Provo guide.
First, the two free things
Free parking: the Sandridge lots. Park City's parking FAQ says the Upper and Lower Sandridge lots, on Marsac Avenue south of City Hall, are always free. Downtown street and garage parking is paid, with seasonal rates, and enforcement is active; citations must be paid within 14 days. Park at Sandridge and walk down to Main.
Free buses. Park City Transit says it has run fare-free buses since 1975, on nine routes. High Valley Transit, which covers the wider Wasatch Back including Kimball Junction, is free too. Once you are parked, getting from Main Street to Bonanza Drive or Kimball Junction costs nothing.
From downtown Provo, OpenStreetMap routing puts Park City at about an hour without traffic: roughly 57 minutes to Bonanza Drive, 60 to Main Street and 62 to Kimball Junction.

If you come up Parleys Canyon on I-80, Kimball Junction is the first Park City stop, and it has its own cheaper counters.

Seasons and timing
Our day-trip guide argues that summer and the shoulder seasons are the better value for a Main Street day; our Park City Mountain guide covers ski days.
