Review: A Fun-Filled Day at Glenwood Caverns

Glenwood Caverns is an absolute blast! The gondola ride up the mountain alone is worth the price of admission, offering incredible views before you even reach the amusement park at the top.

The park features four awesome rides, and I had the chance to try two of them. The alpine coaster was a huge hit—both my son and I loved it. The slingshot ride, which launches you right off the edge of the mountain, is perfect for thrill seekers looking for an adrenaline rush.

One of the highlights of the visit was the cave tours. The standard cave tour is included in the $56 full-day ticket and lasts about an hour, with a knowledgeable guide sharing fascinating details about the caves and their preservation. We also opted for the blacklight cave tour for an additional $20, and it was totally worth it—such a fun and unique experience!

Plan to spend around 5 to 6 hours here for a full experience. The park is open from 10 AM to 6 PM, so there’s plenty of time to explore. The gift shop on the mountain is a nice stop, offering fun souvenirs and even free fudge samples. There’s also a cafeteria and a bar behind the gift shop, making it a great spot to relax.

I visited with my wife, a friend, and my seven-year-old son, and we all had an amazing time. Glenwood Caverns is definitely worth a visit for families and thrill seekers alike!

They are not accepting cash at adventure park , only by card or tap. Though if you have cash then they will help you to generate master card from machine.
Kids rides are normally costing 10 dollars per ride.. and family ride around 20 dollars.
It's well maintained with well trained staff adventure park. Definitely worth going .

Interesting. Kids loved it. The walking is a bit rough. Up & down. Gravel in lots of places. If you aren't sure of foot, it could be a challenge. Limited service at top. Incredible views. Fun caves. Kids loved the rides.

This was fun! We went thinking it was just the Fairy caves, but it's a lot more. To get to the caves, you'll need to take a gondola to the top of the mountain. At the top, not only is the cave tour available, but for a few, there's a second cave, rides, gift shop, and a restaurant.

We had such a fun day here! It’s such a great spot on a sunny Colorado day. We loved everything it had to offer, loved the slide, gondola, canyon swing, cave tour! The workers were so friendly and welcoming! We could have easily spent more time here but had to catch our train home. Great little gift shop too and loved their fudge. Really fun spot and would recommend!

We were there in winter. Unfortunately, not much was open. Only the alpine coaster and the caves.
Sometimes we had to wait for over an hour.
The view from up there was phenomenal, especially in winter.
The waiting time for the gondolas was very short.

We were in Glenwood Springs for a surprise weekend getaway Iron Mountain Hot Springs (a sister company)...
We decided to stop and ride the Gondola up to take in the views, and it didn't disappoint! It was a little expensive, but a nice ride, and once you are up there, you can pick and choose what else interests you for entertainment. The weather was ok for November (typical Colorado) but not super conducive to being on a mountain top trying to do alpine slides or walk the shops... staff was helpful, and I would like to do the Cave Tour at some point. 5 out 5 - 4 sure 😆

This was such a great experience and adventure. The caverns were amazing, and the history surrounding it was incredible. Curtis was such a great tour guide and made us laugh every second with all his puns and storyline examples lol. The gondola ride makes of a beautiful view up the mountain and back down. So many ride attractions and plenty to see. Definitely worth coming here.
