    Spent a good part of my day taking the lift to the top of the mountain. Gondola ride was very smooth and offered some beautiful views. Toured the Fairy and Kings caves. Great tour guides and friendly staff at the park. Nice gift store and restaurant with nice views out the windows. Food was fare priced and good portions.

    This place looks amazing in winter and provides easy access to the top by gondola ride. The view from the top is breathtaking. It also provides two cave tours, which are operated on a schedule. We took the gondola ride and a cave tour for $45 per person. We took the King's row cave tour because that's what was recommended, which was for 45 minutes, and the tour guide Shey was amazing, he gave us lots of information on the caves and its formation. It's worth doing it. Must do!

    This place is pretty cool. An amusement park on top of a mountain!! We did the mountain coaster. Which is so much fun. The cave was pretty cool to see.

    Purchased tickets for the Gondola to ride it up to the Adventure Park. You can purchase tickets just for the gondola, to go to the caverns, or to go to the Adventure Park. There wasn't any wait and was able to jump on the next available gondola. It's about a 5-10 minute ride one-way. It was summer, so it becomes rather hot inside, even with the windows open. The ride provides a nice view of the Glenwood Springs area.

    Gorgeous view on the way up the mountain. You have the option to pay just for the gondola or the full package that includes the amusement park rides. But also have the option to pay for the rides individual once you're on top.

    We did a all girls trip to this park. It was on a Sunday. We took the gondola + all rides ticket for 69$. Worth the money. We played every ride twice. Except the zipline. There was a lot of wait time (40min) for the zipline. All other rides we waited less than 5 minutes. The roller coaster that takes you vertically up and then drops you into the valley at 90 degree angle is a must do. It's only 30 seconds of ride. It gets over quick. It looks very daunting but it's so much fun. It was the best 30 seconds of my life. If you have time to do just one of the cave tours then do the King's row. It's amazing.

    Nice small amusement park. Lines on a sunday were 30 minutes for the Alpine Slide and almost an hour for the swing. Great views as well.

    Gandola ride was okay. There are few daring rides on the top of mountain and not much food options on the top of the mountain of Gandola ride. It’s good to try once.

  • 5/5 Cory S. 6 months ago on Google
    Worth the price. The parking was easy and there was no wait when we got there. You can purchase your tickets online before you arrive. The views from the Gondola are amazing. Easy 10/10

    I really wanted to give this a 3 but the Manager on Duty made the lack luster experience better with a partial refund. Online and when you are at the park it says all attractions are open but what they don't say is that they only have enough staff to run half the rides at a time. So they close down certain rides so they can open others and if you aren't lucky and don't plan just right, you won't have the opportunity to do all of the attractions. Would highly recommend the cave tours, our guide was Khloe and she was quite entertaining and informative. The Defiance coaster was also a great, albeit quick thrill. The littlest member of our crew got the short end of the deal as he was only able to ride Giddy up and do the Alpine Coaster because nothing else was open he could ride. This place has great potential but needs more staff.

    We bought the fun pass and so glad that we did. There is so much to do and it's all so fun!! Don't follow Google. It's lying!! You do not go up the mountain to park. It's at the bottom. Parking is $10. You can pay with QR code.

    I just did the cave tours, but it was well worth the price of admission. It's a great park for the whole family.

  • 5/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun for the whole family, only problem was since we came in winter alot of the rides were still closed, but the swing and alpine coaster were fun!

  • 5/5 Matt M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice add on adventure and worth the trip! Winter is touch and gone with the rides. None were open when we went because it was cold and windy. Great scenery and super friendly staff!

    Awesome beautiful place family friendly lots to do awesome rides beautiful,beautiful scenery.but what isn't beautiful in our beautiful state of Colorado would recommend visiting this state and these locations would recommend exploring all of Colorado best experiences ever in my life so far has been in Colorado

  • 5/5 Melissa R. 11 months ago on Google
    Our hotelier recommended that we *at least* take the gondola ride. We oped for the spring ticket instead. Even with only 2 hours to spare, there was plenty to do. The gondolas themselves feel sturdy (albeit a little warm, even on a 40 degree day). Smooth ride. Great operation. They will stop them for you if anyone in your party needs help getting on or even if they are just nervous. It's not needed for most, because it's very slow and much easier to get onto than a ski lift.

    They took the online payment, they didn't work yesterday, and they will return the money in a few days, if we believe them
