The pricing varies depending on the day & time you go, so do NOT make this a last minute decision like we did! It's beautiful, the views are jaw dropping. It's about 8 minutes each way in the gondola. The 3rd floor men's washoom has a spectacular view (my husband took a video for me.) It is most definitely worth the trek- just plan ahead so you're not paying extra.

Not exactly what I had planned for doing as I wanted to take my kiddos to see Santa and join in on the festivities. Was under the impression the Friday I purchased our tickets included these activities, however, came to know that Santa was only for the weekend. So disappointed there but in all a great experience with my kiddos. They had fun taking part in the interactive learning and filling out their guidebooks! The men's bathroom had a horrid smell that took out half the floor, and the women's bathroom was clean. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful from the point of arrival to departure! Finally, the theatre room was clean, comfy, and a great sit down to explore the eyes of another's experience. Recommend checking things out!

For the cost I would say it is honestly not worth it - buffet food was a bit dry and the way the Nightrise exhibitions were set up seemed messy. Wish thee was a Northern Lights Alberta resident package. Staff were great though and the views were beautiful.

It’s pricey, but various things make it an amazing experience. The views are breathtaking and the chance to walk to the next peak on a boardwalk is spectacular. The various nightrise light and sound digital installations are mesmerising, especially diamond dust. The Sky Bistro dining experience is high quality and soave.

We used the “kids ride free” option and went in the morning. We arrived early and they didn’t make us wait for the load time. Kids LOVED riding in the gondola and walking on the board walk. Very good experience.

Nightrise is not worth your time. Travel up the Gondola during the day when the real beauty of the mountains is visible. A day trip is worth 5 stars. Nightrise is a money grab to keep the Gondola busy at night and as a result we scored it 2 stars for that reason. Too many people in a small footprint. We spent only 90 minutes total including the Gondola rides. Much of that was to try to find a reason to stay longer at the Nightrise exhibit. Disappointing trip but live and learn. We will come back during the day for sure.

The gondola was very sweet, and the Nightrise experience was beautiful and fun, so many options. The ski bistro service was terrible. We waited an hour after our reservation time to be seated, then over an hour for our entree. We had to book a reservation but we still has to wait an hour after our reservation time to be seated. The waiter was not super friendly or apologetic, we got our starter pretty soon after we were seated and we ordered both starter and entree at once, but it took over an hour after that to get our entree and we were getting really frustrated .

The gondola experience was great. Great night show and experience. The food at the resturaunt was a poor experience for the $300 we spent. Plastic wrapper in the soup and poorly done meals. Not great for a high end charge and restaurant.

Expect better Light Show, what we experienced was very outdated n basic. Higher your light show standards. Take inspiration around the world, the light shows r very high standard these days. This was very disappointing.

We knew it wouldn’t be inexpensive to ride up, but with a two year old and no carrier, we knew there was no other way up for us. The ride was relaxing, but what was a nice surprise was the amenities and things to do at the top! It wasn't busy (and a warm sunny day) and we could have spent the whole day at the summit and in the interpretive centre. Our toddler just loved the views and activities (conservation exhibition).
