  • Pretty pricey, but we still had fun. DON'T buy tickets in advance. The website is very confusing on what you're buying and it just caused a mess when we got to the ticket counter (although the staff was SUPER SUPER friendly and got it fixed right away). The tube slide is super fun, so glad for the people mover to get you to the top instead of a billion stairs! Great touch! The burger place at the top was just ok. Again, pricey, but they have lots of seating in the shade and you have views of Mount Rushmore and they have a really pretty garden up there. The staff working the burger place were VERY VERY slow. You can tell its a bunch of high school kids that don't have anything better to do so they aren't in a hurry. It made the wait SUPER long. So don't be in a hurry if you plan to eat there. Just sit and enjoy the views and the scenery and the shade.
  • I get that this is a tourist attraction, but the prices are just outrageous. It's $18 for one adult ride down the alpine slide, $10 for kids. So for my husband and I, and one child it was $46. I just don't feel like the value is there for something that lasted less than 5 minutes. Granted you get to ride a ski lift to the top of the slide, but that's not what I was paying for. I'm still happy we did it. I was a very cool experience, just pricey.
  • I can't wait to go back to this awesome place. We have been here years ago. And it's worth going back, they added so much more! This time we tried the aerial adventure, which is a height obstacle course with ziplines, ladders, tight ropes, and other challenging obstacles to maneuver through. Of course you are in a safety harness and they teach you the locking system, which took me a little to get use to but caught on to it. I would recommend staying with your group incase they need a refresher to lock in and out of each obstacle. I'm 41 and my twin 15 year Olds did it as well, they really enjoyed it too! Lots of different levels of difficulty for lots of ages. Can't wait to go back and do more courses! Easy to get to in Keystone. Make sure you go on a nice day, it started to rain and thunder and some things had to be shut down..understandable for safety.
  • The staff was excellent! Arrived around 10:30-11 am and they were friendly, and super helpful (Able to get me a few tube rides and made me feel welcomed). The tubing was better than expected, the 800 ft Zipline was thrilling, the drop tower was frightening (especially that first step haha), and the aerial course was challenging, yet exciting (I got through all except for the black course and found both blue and black the hardest (mentally and physically haha). Hope to come back again in the near future and wish Lexi the best of luck in her new position! I'm sure you will do well!
  • Family had an amazing time. Little pricy but great time. Do not miss out on the hidden bar and grill at the top. They have better options for food and drinks. Really is a great stop with great views.
