Already in town for a Glenwood Springs getaway? Elevate your vacation from the valley floor to the mountaintop with a visit to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. It’s easy to add on!
Vacation Flex Time
You came to Glenwood Springs for the hot springs, the alpine air, and to get away from the everyday hustle and bustle. You may have your whole itinerary planned, but vacation time isn’t ordinary time; little pockets of downtime have a funny way of opening up on sojourns, when suddenly you ask yourself, “What should we do now?” It could be a free morning, an afternoon between activities, or a day when the weather changes your original plans.
Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park fits beautifully into any of these scenarios. If you’re already in town, it’s an easy add on that doesn’t require a full-day commitment, just a sense of adventure.
A Few Easy Ways to Add It In
Perched atop Iron Mountain, the Adventure Park offers something you won’t find anywhere else in Colorado: guided cave tours that take you deep inside the mountain, heart-thumping thrill rides to ride again and again, and views that will knock your socks off. A few hours, or just one free afternoon at the Park is all it takes for unplanned adventures to become the highlight of your Glenwood Springs getaway!
Depending on available time, bolster your local itinerary with these Adventure Park add ons. Just interested in the views? Ride the Glenwood Gondola. Only want to explore the caves? You got it! Prefer to do it all? We’ve got a fun-filled ticket with your name on it!
The Gondola + Views
Sometimes the view is the activity. A gondola ride up Iron Mountain gives you sweeping vistas of Glenwood Springs in miniature, the meandering Colorado and Roaring Fork Rivers, as well as the majestic snow-covered peaks to the south. This is a peaceful, low-key option that works any time of day, whether you’ve just arrived and want to get the lay of the landscape, or you’re squeezing in one last activity before you leave. Aboard the Glenwood Gondola, a signature experience, you’ll see the town from a whole new perspective.
Gondola + Cave Tours
If you want to do one truly unique thing while you’re here, make it a cave tour. With a steady 52˚F temperature year-round, guided cave tours are an ideal winter activity. Choose one or both tours, King’s Row or the Historic Fairy Caves, included in this package. Each tour is distinct. King’s Row takes you deep underground with unreal views of pristine cave formations, while the Fairy Caves features a natural reflecting pool and a stop at Exclamation Point with panoramas of Glenwood Canyon below. Whether you choose one or both, you’ll emerge from the depths and darkness filled with the light of awe and wonder at what lies just hidden just beneath the surface.
+ The Full Park Experience
Have more time to play? The Winter Funday Ticket lets you effortlessly and affordably mix caves tours, unlimited rides, and breathtaking vistas into one flexible, all-encompassing visit. Of course, you don’t have to do everything, but since you’re here, why not take both cave tours, ride the Alpine Coaster as many times as you like, and play laser tag like a real-life action hero? The only limitation is your own schedule and energy! Take that as a challenge!
+ Black Light Cave Tour
There’s even an add-on to an add-on! If you’re looking for something dazzlingly different? Sign up for a black light cave tour for an all-new, updated take on the caverns. Following your guide in the darkness and equipped with UV flashlights, you’ll see the cave formations like never before: in a spectrum of full-color not visible to the naked eye.
