Fenelon Place Elevator Co., Dubuque

Had a wonderful time! We were traveling through Dubuque, and discovered the Funicular on a painting. A quick Google search helped us find it's location. The trip takes 3 minutes up and another 3 minutes down the hill. Slow, pleasant, no stress, and the views from the top are fantastic! There is a wonderful shopping area surrounding the lower end of the Funicular. Unfortunately, we were on a time schedule, so did not have time to enjoy that area. There is an interesting story about its history, and past owners. Be sure to ask for info!

The funicular is a fun way to get from top to bottom of the hill. The ice cream shop at the bottom of the hill is also worth the stop for good treats and cute decorations. Scenic view from the top and the old time feel of the elevator make this a notable stop while visiting Dubuque

Great views! We parked at the bottom of the hill and took a round trip. It's cash only. The little cabins are very cute. It was a nice, slow ride.

This is a must if you are in Dubuque! It doesn't take long to ride to the top or back down. You get in the car and pull a cord to let the operator at the top know you are ready and he will send the car to the top. Spend as much time at the top as you like. Make sure you have cash on hand to ride the elevator.

Awesome!! Don't miss this! Super affordable at only $4 down & up again! Meander the beautiful downtown while you are there! Read the history of this elevator online because I didn't find it anywhere on site.
