    The Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Cauldron Park, located at the foot of the majestic Wasatch Mountains, is a stirring reminder of hard work and shared values of athletes from all countries and cultures as they faced their ultimate challenges.

    The Visitors Center commemorates the XIX Olympic Winter Games in a photo gallery that captures the electrifying quest for excellence.  The Visitors Center’s Theater chronicles the Games from the Opening Ceremonies through to the Closing Ceremonies, preserving the spectacle of competition.

    As you exit the Visitor’s Center you will be inspired by the Olympic Cauldron rising from the Plaza floor.  Once ignited to signal the start of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, the Cauldron stands as a tribute to the Olympic Games, past and present, and to their power to unify and inspire.

    The Hoberman Arch – where proud athletes were feted with their coveted medals and world renowned artists and musicians performed – is situated on the east side of the Plaza.
