Cute Little Attraction
We showed up about 2 hrs before closing, so most of the attractions were closed. We just had enough time to do the cave tours. Shea was our guide and we really enjoyed him. He was very patient with my son and answered all of his questions. Great place to go if you have kids.

Great winter time in family
We went in winter, we went as a family with a 15 year old and a 10 year old and I was worried that with so many rides not being open, they were going to get bored but it was nothing like that. We had one of the most amazing times as family that day so I completely recommend it.First, we arrived at around 4pm, because we wanted daylight and nightime to see the lights. It was a perfect time to arrive. The gondola was a great way to enter a park, then we went straight to the alpine roller coaster which we all enjoyed a lot. We went to have a hot chocolate (there are also adult hot drinks that are amazing, my favourite was the rum butter one as it is a bit like butterbeer) we headed then to roast some marshmallows to make smores (they sell the kits there, suuuuper expensive 12dls a pack for 4 but still worth it for the experience and the kids loooved it as they never had smores before) then laser tag, more drinks, the cave and finally the movie. We were able to do all that with very minimal lines.

Thank you for your positive review! We are so glad you family enjoyed their time up at the Park.

Worth the price ride the gondola
Glenwood Adventures gondola, aka Iron Mountain Tramway is a mecca for tourist and locals. There is an amusement park at the top along with restaurants, gift shops, hiking trails and more. The ride from the base of the mountain to the top is spectacular. You have a gondola car which could fit 4 easily. It is enclosed which would make it tolerable in the winter. At the top there are amazing vistas, alpine and carnival rides, hiking, cave exploration and more.There is a restaurant atop the souvenir store. Not so much a restaurant but a place for some bar food and beer. Order the fried pickles with aioli sauce. The pickles are tart, loaded with a thin breading, hot and greasy; to die for. On the deck outside the restaurant, you can see the entire valley that is the home to Glenwood Springs. Take a few minutes and marvel at the sight.

Cave tours are wonderful.
We did not do any of the rides other than the gondola from town up to the park. The gondola ride rewards with great and unique views of the valley and mountains. The cave tours were well done and a unique experience and worth the cost.

Tyler gave the best fairy cave tour
Visited the caves with my family. Tyler is an excellent tour guide. He explained everything and answered all questions patiently. One suggestion, for tips, there should be a Venmo QR code of the tour guide outside. The family was very happy. Thanks a lot.

Super fun for families
Y'all, this place was a blast! We were staying in Vail and it was a quiet weekend up there. We were looking for something to do with the kids, and i'm so glad we made the drive to Glenwood Caverns! There is so much to do for everyone. We did the rides, the cave tour was amazing and there was OctoberFest music that made it a blast! We spent about 5 hours there. I highly recommend this adventure for families. We felt like several different adventures happened in one place!

Visit the Caves!
We took the gondola ride to the top of the mountain, where you could see the whole valley and Glenwood Springs. We toured both the Fairy Cave and the King Cavern. Both our guides in the caves were entertaining and knowledgeable and it was very interesting to see the different kinds of formations, especially the cave bacon.

Fun coasters, fantastic views!
A must-see for anyone who likes coasters. No, it doesn’t have the variety of a Six Flags Park, but not being surrounded by concrete and steel was pretty nice. It's small, and has the feel of a mom-and-pop operation, but every employee we encountered was kind, friendly, and went above and beyond to help us out. Also, the new Defiance coaster is definitely not a "mom-and-pop" experience. My daughter and I forced ourselves to go on it once in the back, then decided we had to do the front. It is really something riding a gravity defying coaster with nothing but the track and views of the valley below as you rush down a vertical track and then the subsequent rolls. Very short ride, but well worth it! Sadly, the Cliffhanger coaster was shut down due to wet tracks, but the Alpine Coaster made up for it. It's "just" a set of tracks right above the ground that runs down the hill, but getting to control the speed by myself on my own little "sled" was a blast. And it's so long! The first ride, every time I thought that surely I must have reached the bottom, there was another curve. I'd visit again for this ride alone.If you are large or have long legs, the Soaring Eagle zip ride might feel a little insubstantial.... I wish the seat had been a little deeper, that I could've scooted my rear farther back, and I'm only 5'8". My daughter and I thought once was enough. Probably a blast for adventurous kids.The Canyon Flyer, our first ride (intermittent morning showers were delaying some rides) was a real adrenaline rush, too. It's perched on the edge of a steep hill, you're in a little swing, and then it's swinging out over the valley with nothing but a tiny highway and river far below your feet. Really incredible. My heart needed a break after that. Would've gone again if I hadnt discovered the Alpine Coaster.I like nature, green trees and blue skies, so i wasn't terribly interested in the caves, but the one tour we did was interesting.Nice gift shop, large indoor café with incredible views that had nice hot food (nothing gourmet, but hot) and hot chocolate which was nice after we got a little wet and chilled in the morning showers. The Smokehouse looked good too, but hadn't yet opened when we were ready to eat.The park opening was delayed due to wet gondola tracks from a heavy rain during the night, but we had no trouble seeing everything we wanted to between 11 and 4:30, including a long lunch and long afternoon rest. Granted, there were no lines. Maybe you need all day if there are.We visited Colorado from California pretty much to visit this park, and I'd do it again. Two nights at the Queen Anne B&B in Denver (cheaper flights) then a beautiful drive along I-70 to Glenwood Springs for 2 days. We had a wonderful time! (Highly recommend the lake at Georgetown as a rest stop.) The people were friendly, every worker we encountered was helpful, and most of it was cheaper than California. Would love to return!
