The Mine Wheel
As you head to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park for a day of family fun and excitement, the Mine Wheel is one of the top attractions that often comes to mind. If you love viewing the park from up high, the Mine Wheel is one of the best options for enhancing your fun. Even better, it’s part of the Fun Day Pass, which means you can enjoy it multiple times throughout the day.
About the Mine Wheel
The Mine Wheel is a Ferris wheel-style ride that takes guests around in secure “mine carts,” allowing them to get a look at the park from up high. The Mine Wheel spins around several times, giving each guest plenty of time to take in all the views and see everything the park has to offer. Up at the top, you can get a clear view of gorgeous Iron Mountain as you breathe in the mountain air.
You must be at least 51″ high to ride the Mine Wheel alone. Our guests under 51″ can, however, ride with a supervising companion of at least four years of age.

- It’s a excellent place for admiring the natural and beautiful environment. You can’t leave Glenwood without seeing this magnificent place!read moreread lessViv MC4/22/2024
- Thoroughly enjoyed the Fairy Cave tour, the tour guide made it an enjoyable experience. The Alpine rollercoaster was super fun, much faster if you do it with 2 people! And the park overall was nice, many activities were closed due to winter but our group still had a blast. There were plenty of things to see, the Trolls, the big bear, the breathtaking views. There were no lines for what was open due to it being winter and it being morning. I want to come again in the summer!read moreread lessAline1/30/2024We loved this park! Some thing for everyone, short lines, some rides operate on a timed basis. Most rides had a height requirement of 48 inches and above. Several rides we could stay on and keep riding as there were hardly any lines. The food was surprisingly good. The weather was great and what views! Appreciate the spirits for adults in the food court. Pack a lunch, bring your water bottle, there are lockers available for rent to store your goods. We will definitely be back, we all had a great time!read moreread lessChoie8211/20/2023
- As a rollercoaster freak, I’d been wanting to try Glendwood Caverns Adventure Park for a while. I was not disappointed. The two coaster and, in particular, the Alpine Slide, were thrilling! But the entire place is so lovely and delightful, a very different experience from most amusement parks. You don’t have to be a fan of rides to go. Just a ride up the gondola and a walk around the small park is worth it. And there are “family friendly” rides as well. The staff is incredible… friendly, helpful and everyone seems happy just to be there. The food I had was very good. I can’t wait to go back.read moreread lessTom P9/09/2023
