This was a great way to see amazing views of the Coachella Valley. Redeeming our voucher for a ticket was super easy and the ride was smooth and quite fast. We had plenty of time at the top to explore, hike and watch the movie. Highly recommend!
Excellent experience, highly recommended. A must do if you are in Palm Springs.
I an joyed the tram and all services provided during my visit.
The Tram ride was awesome, as was our walk around the top. Nothing scary about it, though my daughter was scared to death at first, but once we got going, she loved it, and now she can't wait to go back!
What a fabulous trip this was and great value for money. Spent a few hours just strolling on one of the many trails set out for the tourists. Highly recommend this trip.
A perfect Summer day trip,,, great hiking opportunities,,,, just a great way to spend a day
This was the most amazing experience I have ever had. I am terrified of heights, so this was a big deal for me. I'm glad my friend talked me into it. I can't wait to go back during the winter to see the snow.
Not knowing what to expect, we set off on route to Palm Springs from Los Angeles (an adventure on its own) and really pleasantly surprised at what we found at the Aerial Tramway – from the moment we obtained our tickets and boarded the Tram, rode to the top of the mountain, and then the fantastic views and number of forest trails you find at the top – A journey that will be remembered for a time yet.
The Tram ride includes a Narrative as you travel which is fairly informative, only to be interrupted by the sudden squeals of delight from fellow passengers as the Tram passes over the towers on route, sudden surges and sways, gentle enough and part of the experience – and once at the top, time is yours to do as you wish – The initial walk into the forest wilderness a little steep, but worth it! A steady climb back is all that’s required on the managed pathway.
The temperature shift from the bottom to the top of the valley was also a strange experience - From 100+ to 70+ even at this temperature and time of year (Aug 2011), sun block and waters a must
Buying tickets in advance from Viator was easy and would highly recommend
Easily found using Sat Nav – which is a must in the USA travelling anywhere.
We really enjoyed this, we chose Palm Springs as a stop off on our journey from Las Vegas to San Diego mainly because we could do the Tramway experience before we headed off again. You get fantastic views on your way up and once you are at the top you can go off hiking into the forest if you wish to. The best way of describing it is you leave the desert at the bottom and enter into a Yosemite kind of place at the top.
brilliant, if not a little scary! it definatley worked out cheaper to get the tickets before hand on viator, and you can make the trip as long or short as you like, the tramway was also easily found on the sat nav, we went first thing in the morning and it wasnt so busy. well worth a trip.
Everything was great. The only bad thing was that one of the Souvenier workers gave us a little attitude while shopping. All in all, we thought it was worth the money. Thank you
Had great time planning to go back it was so beautiful it was the right time to go at the end of March.
My family and I had such a great time. We will definately return and also recommend our friends and family to visit the Tramway.
The only piece of criticism I have is that the basement level where the movie theater is/the mini museum, that section needs some upgrade. There is many more ways that you can use that space to educate visitors of the tramway experience and how it began.
Other than that it was a fantastic experience!
Thank you!
Great time, but please clean the Tram windows, and at Mtn. Station there's a lot of litter.
Going to the snow via The Tram is better than driving to the mountains - no traffic jams and no snowchains!
