Pictures do not describe the awesome beauty of this area. The Royal Gorge Bridge is around 100 years old and is something to experience. We spent the good part of a day there, so many things to see and do. Our two 13 yr old grandchildren went with us and loved it also. more

This was my first stop on our recent vacation to Colorado. My parents had visited a few years ago and raved about it so my wife and I wanted to check it out. Upon reaching the ticket booth, I stopped and saw the price of admission.. $24/person. We just stood there for a moment but eventually decided to purchase tickets... more

The bridge offers an awesome view, and you get great photos. We didn't spend much time in the park, so I can't speak about that. If you get panic attacks or are afraid of heights, you might not want to go on the bridge. But it's pretty cool. Good souvenir shop! more

Really loved walking across the bridge/gorge. The bridge sways in the wind and it was Windy! You can also see through the gaps between the wooden planks of the roadbed of the bridge. Eeekkk! Amazing views! We didn't really see the other things that were at the park -- we were just interested in the bridge/gorge. more

While touring the Colorado Springs, CO area we have made the short drive to Canon City to experience the Royal Gorge Bridge. It's awesome. If you walk across the bridge you almost feel like your walking on air. You have the option of driving your car across as well. You can take a miners tram down to the bottom and... more

I have been to river gorge three times during various stays near Denver. Right outside the area there are various places to ride horses; then visit the gorge. Yes, it is somewhat scary at first. My sister is afraid of bridges, so the really high driving bridge across the gorge was GREAT to really scare her. We also took the... more

As far as scarey bridges go, this ranks at the top! Unlike the others mentioned here, you can either walk across or drive across this swinging, wooden-planked monster...and there is nothing beneath you and your car except a 1000+ feet of air. Only problem is the cost...far too expensive any more. Greed is a ugly thing. more

The rafting on the Royal Gorge is the best attraction there. The bridge can be seen from the river as you float underneath. Depending on the time of year, it is not for the faint of heart (I am 2 for 2~ getting thrown out); but what a blast! Teens & up would love this thrill; definately worth the guide... more

The good- the bridge, the cog rail down the side of the gorge, buckskin frontier town, the sad petting zoo, and the info movie are all included in your overpriced admission fee. This place seems to be trying to become a destination rather than a brief 2 or 3 hour visit and I don't agree with this strategy. I predict... more

The entrance fee was a little pricey but I thought it was worth it. They have added a lot of shows and other attractions they didn't have 20 years ago. My grandson (age 10) really enjoyed the gun fights. It is good for about half a day if you do everything that is incuded in the admission. I really liked... more
