Amazing! The caves were breathtaking, unbelievable and unique experience. We had the best tour guide! Forgot his name, but he made the cave tour so much fun!
We went during winter most rides were closed but that’s okay. The pricing and cave tours were so worth it. On top of the gift shop you have an amazing view of the mountains and the city. Breath taking! We want to return for a Sumer experience!

Great time with the family. During winter almost all rides are closed, but you can still enjoy the Alpine Coaster, caves and a few other things. Check the website for the latest. The caves are amazing
We had such a good time! On vacation from Indiana and passed through Glenwood Springs. We decided to stop and stay there on a whim, so glad we did!
Caves were awesome, the rides were all thrill rides. Even just riding to the top to look around would be worth the money.
It is off season, so some rides were on an alternating schedule but we still made the best of it. Our kids are 7 & 9 and loved it. Would highly recommend! Also had military discounts for tickets.

Honestly if your a thrill seeker I would highly recommend just doing the ultimate package with the gondola, unlimited rides and the cave tours for $69 - person. The gondola and the cave tour package is only $46 a person which isn’t bad at all definitely worth the price. You can buy rides individually at the top in the gift shop and each one is $15 for one ride. They have some great rides at the top. My favorite was the alpine coaster it is rated the 4th best in the country for good reason. When we got there at open which was 10am there was no lines at all so we were able to jump right on the rides. Views are amazing and they have a restaurant at the top with food and drinks. Loved all the fall pumpkins and decorations, as well as the Octoberfest festivities that were taking place throughout the day.
It's an incredible place to spend a day or weekend with your family, especially if u have kids. They will love the park and the pool. u can enjoy the fall colors up there in the mountains.. also the October festival y so fun and cool. This my first time in the gondolas and the festival, but I usually come to the pools to pass a good family weekend...
Excellent and affordable adventure park. We took the gondola when it opened and were able to ride the alpine coaster twice before it got crowded. I highly recommend doing this! With the fun pass, we also toured the fairy caves... of which I highly recommend.
Food at the park is also decent. They have traditional fare (burgers, chicken fingers, etc). We were pleasantly surprised to find adult slushies at the lookout grille.

LOVED this place!!! We had a great time here, we pre purchased our gondola ride up to the park and also pre purchased our cave tours before we had went. The Fairy cave was our favorite. The tour guy that we had was very knowledgeable and did a great job. I wish I caught his name but I would recommend him if I knew. After that we went to the king cave tour which was a little different but we also enjoyed that. When we arrived we weren't sure how to enjoy the other rides and activities but the manager and guest services helped us not only once but twice. You can purchase a wrist band to enjoy all rides, however we only wanted to ride one thing and that was the alpine coaster. Sooo much fun. After that we enjoyed some food at the restaurant there. It was okay. . Otherwise, everything was a great time. Would recommend to wear decent shoes as there is alot of walking and gravel. Very kid friendly. Would recommend this 100%
We have vacationed in different parts of Colorado a few times over the years, but this was far and away my favorite thing that we have done while there. Such a neat experience. The rollercoasters were fun, the restaurant was great, the cave tours were a relaxing way to get out of the heat for a little while, and the staff were all so friendly. We did go during the week so that may play into it a little bit, but the waits were not bad at all, the most that we had to wait was for the mountain coaster and even that was only around 20 minutes. Even just the gondola ride up to the top is a fun experience. We will definitely be back.
Always a crowd-pleaser--visited with an extended family group with ages ranging from 2-70. Everyone had a great time with lots of options for the elementary-aged kids, the grandparents, and more challenging attractions for the group in their 20's. After our gondola ride up, we all enjoyed several trips on the Alpine Coaster--always a thrill! The 20's -30's group set off for a previously scheduled "Wild Tour" while the over 60+ group stayed with the kids. We alternated between the 2 caves tours--always informative & engaging as they are led by guides who truly love what they do--and a multitude of age-appropriate attractions for the kids, including laser tag, fossil digging, both smaller roller coasters, a small Ferris wheel and pictures with the trolls after a troll hunt. It was so nice to be able to say "yes" to everything the kids wanted to do with a Fun Day pass. After we reunited with the Wild Tour group, we had plenty of time to explore the Canyon Swing, Defiance, Crystal Tower and the Tree Swings together. The staff is always attentive and friendly and the park is just the right size to explore fully in a day. Even the rest stops in the central plaza were pleasant with live music, convenient restrooms, water bottle refill stations and sunblock. Highly recommended that you spend a day here. You won't regret it!
Stopped by here on our way to Aspen. Great idea to stretch legs. Car charging station is a mile away tho and they don't have one on premises. $26/person, cool aluminum cups with a beverage purchase. Food is just OK (as expected) and definitely overpriced for what it is. Park is great and neat, plenty to do but didn't get to check much out, only stopped by for a quick ride up to the "restaurant" and back on the road.
Came here during the week in Summer. Arrived around 2p, so many from the morning crowd was already gone. It was still plenty of time to ride all the rides.
After buying tickets at the bottom, you ride the gondola up to the main entrance. It's a small park, but there's a lot of fun rides for every age group or level of adventure. Lines weren't long at all, with most rides having no line at all. The longest wait was about 30 minutes for the Alpine Coaster which was my favorite ride. The coasters didn't have any lines. The Giant Swing was about 10 minutes and was my second favorite ride that was both exhilarating and had a great view. The tower drop didn't have a line. The Canyon Flyer was less than 5 minutes.
If you don't want to do rides, there's 2 cave tours as options as a different ticket than the Funday ticket.
Fun place for the family to enjoy some rides without long lines.

A little outdated in some ways and very hot during the day in July but I thought the prices were reasonable given that the alpine coaster at vail is $35 PER RIDE and it was really cool having beautiful views on every ride. The rides that take 1-2 people at a time like the canyon swing, alpine coaster, and zip line had very long wait times. The alpine coaster was worth the wait. The crystal tower was a thrill for sure. The cave tour was way cooler than I thought it would be and a nice break from the heat.
We travel all over the country visiting as many amusement and theme parks as we can. This park has been a bucket list for us and it exceeded our high expectations.
We went on a perfect early summer weekday. It was a little busy and allow a lot of time to get through the process of ticketing and getting up the mountain. We bought our tickets online, but there was still a long wait to sign waivers and get on board a gondola.
Once up top, you are greeted by amazing views everywhere you look. Alpine Coaster is the main draw and the lines were long. Your experience on the coaster will depend on who is going down the hill in front of you. If you like speed and adrenaline, you’ll probably come up on someone going slow.
The other long wait for us was the giant canyon swing, but totally worth it. Ride it twice, one trip on each side as they both offer completely different experiences.
The food and drink was great, with a restaurant kind of hidden behind the gift shop that offers great views while you eat.
One thing that stood out was how friendly and eager the park staff were towards the guests. It really made for a delightful experience.
We hope to come back someday, because the park must have a different look and feel as the seasons change and it would be nice to experience more!

This place is amazing. What else can you ask for?? Roller coasters on a mountain?! Dope. Would be nice if they had vegetarian/vegan options and a couple rides were closed. Otherwise, I can’t wait to come back here with my whole family. Caves were great, the coaster is SO FUN, and the tree swing is my favorite ride ever.
