The aerial tramway is a fun ride up a mountain for great views of Estes Park. The trams are small, and the windows are too high up for young children...you will have to lift the 6 & under ones to see the view. They run continuously and the ride is fast. There is a big gift shop at the bottom... more

My husband and I and two teenagers made this our first stop when arriving in Estes Park. The tram ride was a lot of fun, and the views from the top amazing. But we really enjoyed the hike to the top of Mt. Prospect. We fed the chipmunks along the way and had a great hike. This was the first... more

The kids enjoyed the ride and the scenery, but their favorite think was to feed the chipmunks. The store at the top sells peanuts 50 cents a scoop. The chipmunks will take them out of your hand (as long as you don't chase them trying to give it too them.) You can only do this because it is NOT in... more

We took our daughter and 4 grandchildren on the Tramway during our Estes Park vacation in June. The kids (ages 4-13) really enjoyed it (and we did too). Great views, "awesome" ride, and lots of fun feeding the chipmunks. After they returned home, they sent us thank you notes telling all the things they liked about their summer vacation. The... more

The views from the top are amazing,as well these are views that u would never see other wise. The gift shop is o.k and the resturant is so-so. The trams are also great but when u realise how high u actualy are you want to go back down the mountain. But the best part of all is how amazingly attractive... more

For a reasonable price of $22, my wife and I and our two kids got to ride the aerial tram above Estes Park. If you expect nothing else but a fun ride with great views of the town and the Rockies, you will be satisfied. The views from up top are excellent but when we looked around at the condition... more

This was our first stop and it was worth it. Take a little ride up to the top of a nearby mountain and sightsee, hike (hope you brought oxygen) and just enjoy. The restaurant and snack shop are pretty lame, but that's not why you go up there. It runs $9 per person and even our tennagers enjoyed it. Feeding... more

If you like trams this is well worth taking. It was nice to view the town of Estes Park at the top of where the tram lets you off. The chipmunks and animals at the top of the mountain are a delight to feed. Would most definitely do this again. more
