My girlfriend and I were given a piece of paper allowing 4 people to ride for free on this attraction. The company that issued the paper had scratched out the number 4 and written 2, just for us. There is a note in the first paragraph stating that altering the number of people will make the form invalid. Of course,... more

Awesome, awesome, awesome! This is definitely a must do for anyone visiting Albuquerque. It's the world's longest aerial tramway, so you can just imagine how unbelievable the views are! There is a great restaurant at the base of the mountain, Sandiago's and a great restaurant at the top of the mountain, High Finance. more

It was my first time, when Trip Advisor was wrong advisor. Sandia Peak Tramway is not comparable to European peak tramways. In my opinion is extremely overrated and too expensive for rather average experience. more

We arrived on a weekday afternoon in mid August. We did not have to wait very long for our "flight". It's a long smooth ride to the top. It's amazing how high and steep the ride takes you. Once on top take plenty of pictures . The views are spectacular. After walking around and taking in the scenery we took... more

This is the type of thing you do when you are on vacation, so despite it being a bit pricey, I highly recommend it for anyone that loves a gorgeous view and a novel way to get there. The tram ride up is smooth and not at all hair-raising, at least in good weather, and you will feel like you... more

The Tramway provided great views and a smooth ride. Plan to walk around the top for a while and maybe even do dinner/lunch at the restaurant at the top. Be careful with the elderly, an older gentleman did faint while we were at the top. more

WOW!

After taking the tram to the top of Sandia Peak, I can understand why it is the number one attraction in Albuquerque. The ride was slow and smooth (except when passing the towers). My daughter, who is afraid of heights, had not problem looking around during the ride up and back down. We were able to take several pictures from... more

Worth it!!

We actually went up 2 times on the tram while visiting Albuquerque. The first time was a challenge because we were not used to the altitude. The second time we spent a couple hours up there hiking and talking with people. I have over 200 great pictures from up there looking over the city. When we go back, I know... more
