Customer Reviews

WOW! Where do I even begin on this one. The park was truly a one of a kind experience starting with. Trip up a ski lift with a beautiful view of the city and the mountains. Then after we arrived we got to go see a wonderful garden surrounded by vendors and food. We ate at one of the mountain top restaurants and even saw a wild bear a little below us while eating. Then we went and bought two beers went to the top of the high tower for a picturesque 360 degree view of our surroundings. Then after that we got to take some pictures by giant statues and displays. By the end of it we had spent half of the afternoon up there and thoroughly enjoyed it an amazing experience for anyone in the area. I recommend checking this out !

I am surprised that we have not visited this location sooner. We visit every couple of years. The weather this week was very cold. Nonetheless, we enjoyed relaxing by the fire pit with a drink. Taking a walk through the sky trees was also pleasant. The best part of our visit was watching the sunset from the rocking chairs. Unfortunately, their drink specials were not great. The food from the Smoke house was satisfactory. The staff were exceptionally nice. The park was clean and well-maintained. I would highly recommend visiting this location. The climb to the tower was not bad. I took a one star because I would have liked more shopping options.

This has been the best part of our trip hands down. The lights are incredible, and the vibes are immaculate. Christmas has officially begun. If you’re in the area, please try this. The experience was magical. We even witnessed a proposal on top of the tower.

We went there at Christmas time, I loved the experience, the prices are expensive but we compared it with another park that practically doubled the price for that date, so going there was a good choice. The people were nice, we didn't eat there because they don't offer many options, The parking lot and everything they sell there is expensive. but the park is a nice place and I'm sure you'll enjoy going there too. I recommend buying tickets in advance and also arriving early.

The weather was perfect, and this place is ideal for a family outing. There's so much to see and do, making it enjoyable for everyone. I’m already looking forward to visiting again when my younger child is a bit older—there will definitely be even more fun to have then. This is not just a great spot for school breaks, but a wonderful destination for any family trip. Highly recommended for families looking to create wonderful memories!
