Gabrielle RichardsAugust 28, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fun little park on top of a mountain, the caves are very cool and beautiful. Staff is friendly and the older male tour guide for the caves is hilarious. Highly recommend buying tickets ahead of time because it is cheaper. There is a swing that swings out over the canyon... I am an avid roller coaster person but the g-force on that thing feels crazy compared to any coaster I have been on. It was a lot of fun but terrifying! There is a bar and grill, and concession stand if you get peckish. Jonathan WeiseAugust 24, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. one of the best places in colorado ive ever been!!! Adam WalrathAugust 24, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very cool and fun I went on the Alpine Coaster the last time I went wide open Angela NeatheryAugust 23, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great place to visit! A unique experience for sure! The alpine coaster and other attractions at 7,000 ft is definitely something to take in! A bit pricey and I wish they would allow dogs on leash (not in the caves, of course) but the no pet policy prevented us from spending the day there on our recent trip through Glenwood. At a previous visit I was able to go pet free and really enjoyed it. Also the lady who guided our cavern tour was great! And had some great jokes along the way :) I wish I could remember her name. :/ Andrea EarleAugust 22, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thrilling fun! We visited on a weekday in August and rode the rides multiple times. The canyon swing, defiance, and crystal tower were our favorites. We even snuck in a cave tour to cool off from the heat which was cool to see.
