Good place to have slide and soar zip line. It has beautiful scenery. Sliding down is fun but riding a lift is bored when it is hot. One thing we did not like is that staffs are not trained well.
One lady asked to the staff for line cutting because of her boat time.
Staff cut the line without asking to the people who waited long time. Also, the lady who cut the line was never say sorry or thank you to the other people.

Well worth the $10. Much safer and controlling then I thought. Had read stories about people being injured but there really isn't anything to worry about if you follow the directions. So glad we went during the peak of fall colors. It was such a beautiful and mesmerizing drive to Chestnut. Will definitely plan a trip again next year in the fall.

NO SAFTEY ON THE CHAIR LIFT!!
BEWARE WITH LITTLE KIDS!

The alpine slide was fun and wasn’t too much of a thrill to get scared about. The control was easy to maneuver. After coming down on the slide, a chair lift brings you back up to your starting point. The chair lift had no safety belt or any provision for safety. I made a huge mistake of bringing my 4 year old with me on the chair lift. He kept moving and I was worried if he would trip over or lose his balance. Throughout the way back I was praying for his safe return. I couldn’t enjoy the scenic views and beautiful surroundings.
I wish they had some alternative way to come up while avoiding the lift.

The Alpine Slide at Chestnut Mountain Resort is a thrilling summer attraction that offers a unique way to experience the beauty of the area. Riders take a chairlift to the top of the hill, enjoying scenic views of the Mississippi River and surrounding hills along the way.

Once at the top, the slide features a long, winding track that winds down the mountain. Participants ride in sled-like carts, allowing for individual control of speed as they navigate through curves and dips. The experience is exhilarating, combining the rush of speed with the stunning natural scenery.

The Alpine Slide is suitable for all ages, making it a fun activity for families and thrill-seekers alike. Overall, it’s a great way to enjoy an outdoor adventure in a beautiful setting.

So much fun and when the sun sets it is so beautiful. We had so much fun especially with the slides. The staff was so nice and friendly. The best part about the slide is you get to race your friends and you can control how fast you go. Would definitely recommend.

As a group of adults that went, I think we had as much fun as children would. The ride is so beautiful, fun, and perfect length. I had a wonderful first experience riding a tram. Beautiful views. The eagle ride was fun. If you’ve been zip lining; it’s a little less adrenaline running than that so if that scared you this should be right up your alley! They have so much more to do year round I definitely would consider going back here for all seasons.

We were scared to go... it lookes like very speed-rough thing to do BUT it's great that you can decide how fast to go, that makes it an all-ages type of experience. I saw grand parents as equal as 5 year olds on board 😀 go for it! It was fun... we ended up doing it twice! It's not that expensive and you get to go bacl to the top in the skiiers sky-chairs as part of the ride
