We did this as a family and everyone enjoyed the ride. Being able to buy one ticket and ride multiple times was a great addition to our vacation. The grounds could use a little more cleanup but it wasn't bad.

We drove by this and the boys instantly wanted to go. We did come back and go on a different day, after also hearing good reviews from other travellers. Only bought one round though [I think there's a deal for two rounds] and sure enough, everyone was begging to go again! The view at the top is great and the... More

My husband and 3 younger kids (8, 10, and 12) thought this was great. They even spent their own money to get a T-Shirt from here. They could not wait to tell there friends about it.

We needed something active for the kids to do after lots of driving. This was perfect. We bought one ride for each, hubby and I just rode the tram up and down and watched the kids on the slide track. They can totally control the speed that they go down, so one was as fast as possible whooping the whole... More

The brochure and website sounded like this would be a breath-taking adventure for the whole family. We bought tickets for most of us (grandma chose to wait at the bottom of the hill) and rode up on the chairlift. The ride is nice, but there really isn't much to look at on the way up. Each individual sits in their... More

Fun way to spend a hour, take the ski lift to the top of the mountain, have a hamburger or hot dog and the grill and ride the alpine slide down.

Our boys (7&12) thought this was great fun. Surprisingly, the adults liked it too (mom, dad, and grandma). Of course, it is a bit pricey for what it is, but that comes with the area. Overall, we did not feel it was a bad deal. Also, if you have the Black Hills coupon book, there is a discount for this... More

The kids were getting a bit bored driving around from attraction to attraction. The skilift, lunch and the slide down really energized the family. A bit pricey but lots of fun. The food was fresh and well prepared.

I liked the food and drinks they had at the top, it was 3 bucks a beer, so it was cheap enough. I wish the slide was a little longer, but it is something for everyone, you can slide down super slow or really fast! we just took about 40 minutes to do this we went up had a beer,... More

We went for the Alpine ride which two seniors managed well, but you can also take the tram down. We were able to control the speed in a bobsled like run 2000 feet down the hill which was a rush it takes one ride to get the feel of the sled, so next time we'll buy multiple ride tickets. The... More
