This trip up the mountain is fun and very scenic, but not advised for those who have issues with heights. You get your picture on the way up so when you get to the top of the mountain you are able to purchase it. Other than that there really isn't a lot to do once you get to the top... more

This was just "OK". It was nice and slow. We had a 2 yr old and a 4 yr old and they were not scared at all. I would have given it a better review had the price been better. It cost $54 for my family of 6. I think that $36 would have been a fair price. The views... more

We go to Gatlinburg at least once a year and one of my favorite things to do is ride the Sky Lift. It has great views and the best time to go is during the Fall. Seeing all of the color changes of the tree's is amazing. more

I've been going to Gatlinburg 3 times a year for the past 3 years and I've always gone on the skylift. The view is amazing and the ride up is releaxing. Once you get to the top, take your time to enjoy the outstanding view. Also, there is a little gift shop and has some cute things. There is a... more

Three of us took the lift in March 2008, one in a chair in front of the other two, and we had lots of fun taking photos of each other. The offical photos are too expensive. The attendants will slow the lift down to allow for more time for older or nervous passengers to get on and off the chairs.... more

If you are looking for an interesting way to spend an hour or so in Gatlinburg, the sky lift is it. It takes you over a road, a creek, up the mountain with great views. They take a touristy picture while you are on the way up if you are interested, but no hard sell, it is up to you.... more

It was quite expensive for my family of 5 but it was very entertaining and my 3 girls wanted to do it again!! The view was fantastic and we got some great photos! When we talk about our trip last summer the girls always talk about how much fun the sky lift was and how foggy the mountains were! I... more

My mother and I just got back from Gatlinburg. We rode the Sky Lift and we were very disappointed. It is not worth the money nor the time. You have to get off at the top so you can view your lovely picture. The scenic chair lift at Ober Gatlinburg is way better!!! more

Its way to expensive, but you have to do it atleast once. It is the best view of the city you can get. Personally, I like the ride up at night. You will be about twice the height of the space needle when you get to the top. Its alot higher then it looks from the ground. If I remember... more
