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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
