Great place! Sad though, we left about an hour after the wild fire had started. We have pictures of what the place looked like, then compared them with the after math of the fire that swept through. WoW! Unbelievable!

I don't understand why people complain about the $25 gate fee. We actually got a deal by buying online. Anyway, you have the Tram, the Incline, the bridge itself, a fun little western town, lots of amazing places to take in the scenery, places to eat, a carousel, and a train! I suggest EVERYONE check it out in their lifetime.... More

We had a good time at this park. Wasn't sure what to expect but enjoyed this place. The tram was a great way to see the bridge and the Incline train was nice to go to the bottom and see the river and the bridge from 1000 feet below. The trolley ride provided lots of info and was a good... More

We just visited the park and had a great time. Walked the bridge, went across on the sky coaster, went down the incline railway, and road the silver rock rail road. Just heard about the fire and made me sick that it happened. This is a great place to visit and we can only hope they can rebuild quickly.

I just experienced my 4th trip to the Royal Gorge on Sunday June 9th, 2013. Two days before the fire. My husband and I brought our 5 year old Grandson and had a good time. Unfortunately we were not able to do everything because Grandson got tired and hot but the time we did spend was wonderful. The view is... More

Thank you for the post! We have definitely lost a lot this week but are thankful that our guests, staff, and animals are safe. Now we are saying prayers for the crews who continue to fight the fires (not only in our area but in all areas being affected by wildfires). Our goal is to rebuild as soon as possible... More

Visited RG several times as a child when vacationing with my grandparents. Crossing the bridge was always such a breath-taking experience for me, even as a pre-teen. I recently returned with family - only to be dismayed by the disney-esque amusement atmosphere surrounding the natural beauty and the engineering marvel of the bridge itself. Pricing to cross the bridge or... More

Greetings! Thank you for posting your comments. The Royal Gorge Bridge and Park is a must see in Colorado. While plans had been in the making for scheduling updates to the park, the recent fire devastation has certainly altered our plans. But we are now going to be able to build a bigger and better park for all to enjoy.... More

The bridge is absolutely amazing, the views are incredible and if you go during the summer hours, there are shows to watch on top of walking across the worlds highest suspension bridge. I recommend also taking the incline railway (included with your ticket), it takes you to the bottom of the canon, and was one of my favorite parts about... More

Enjoyed 1/2 a day touring the Royal Gorge Bridge the Incline Railway, the Tram and Theatre. Was a beautiful day and not too hot or crowded. Views of the railroad, river and rafters was outstanding from both the rim as well as down at river level..

Definitely rent a golf cart for $12hr. The bridge is quite long... It sways with the wind and you can see the river straight down through the decking. If we would've done the (included in entrance) tram first, we would not have ziplined for $20 each person. The tram gives you better views of everything.

Thanks for your review. You make some great points - golf cart rentals are good for the money as the bridge is long and there are a lot of trails (some of them uphill). The Aerial Tram really does give guests an amazing view of the entire gorge. Have a great day and thanks again! More
