So much fun!!!! While the views are spectacular the Bear-Varian fall festival brought it to the next level. Bier tasting on top of the mountain cant get any better. Seeing Mother nature painting the world from snow to sun. October is the month to visit this 💎!!

Great views and fun things to do at the top. There are more activities to choose from once at the top (most an additional fee). Lots of restaurants, nice sitting areas and gorgeous views. Getting on the seat and getting off is a little tricky, the attendants don't give you much information and don't show you or even tell you to put the safety bar down. There was more then one group holding on for dear life going up with the safety bar up. They also have a few closed in gondolas for people with small children or those who cannot jump on or off the ride.

My favorite stop on our entire vacation! We paid extra fpr the nightlight show as well. It was whimsicle and fun not only for my daughter and the tree houses but myself as well. I personally wouldn't spend the money on the food card because you are basically paying the same price because the servings they give you are smaller than normal (at least for the drinks. Not sure on food). Had so much fun.

Great family experience or just a couple. Take a 13 minute “ski-lift” chairs up to the top. Several restaurants. Lots of cool scenes (gardens) and entertainment. Drinks at every venue. Great Mountain View’s.

Lots of things to do for adults and kids, gorgeous view too. My husband and daughter climbed the tower while I chilled with a cold local beer and watched the mountains. If you're afraid of heights this will be a terrifying experience that starts with the gondola that takes you up. We talked to a person who was too afraid to go back down and was waiting on a truck to drive them back down instead. 😂
