Mt. Roberts Tramway is one of MANY excusrsions in Juneau, and has the bonus of being one of the most flexible in addition to being one of the least expensive! Leaving from the Tram station at the foot of the cruise ship pier, the ride up to the top is hosted by a guide who will fill you in on... more

The smooth quiet ride in the cable car each way offers a wonderful view of the Gastineau Channel, the cities of Juneau and Douglas, and the beautiful mountain itself. Another exquisite panorama is spread out before the traveler upon exiting the cable car on its upward climb. The buildings which house the Chilkat Theater, Restaurant and Gift Shop and the... more

OK, the bad news was that it cost $63 for 2 adults and a 7-yr-old. But that aside, it was great. The ride up the mountain was nice enough (my wife went up and down 3 or 4 times, there's no extra charge for multiple rides). My son and I really loved just hiking around. Wasn't that difficult, and we... more

WE only had a day to see Juneau, so this was probably the last thing to do in Juneau. It was the only day it actually rained, drizzled on us. The clouds came and went, so as you can guess the Tram was not what it could have been. Didn't get to hike because of the terrian, we did however... more

Since it was foggy off & on abt. 4pm the day we were there, I was ready to pass on it (plus, the ticket to ride the tram is, truly, way over-priced) but DH wanted the experience, so up we went. So glad we did...seeing the eagle was a combination of sad/glad...she has a permanently injured wing, so can only... more

I was in Juneau on a cruise in May and decided to give this a try. Great views on the way up and down, and once at the top, but at $27 a ticket it was way overpriced. There was still lots of snow at the top, so all the trails were closed. There were even avalanche warning signs up. more

The quickest route to the most scenic view of downtown Juneau. Very enjoyable to hike up from Basin Road or 6th Street, then ride the tram back down. more

We recently visited Juneau on a cruise. The views are great, you can see a bald eagle in captivity up close which is pretty cool, and the interactive center is fairly interresting. The gift shop is very similar to all other gift shops in the area, and the trails were still snowed in while we were there the first part... more

After a very disappointing experience at another Juneau attraction my wife and I decided to take the Mt. Roberts Tram and do the hike around the summit. Even though it was raining we enjoy the views. The hike around the sumit was good and the first nation exhibits and movie were interesting. In the visitor center we go into the... more
