Friends of ours paid to do the lift and it started thundering do they had to immediately come down and get off. They were refused their money back and were instead given a "complimentary ride" ticket. They were leaving town and would not be able to use the ticket (good for 3 adults and 2 kids) so they gave it... More

Hubby and I took a trip to the smoky mountains and we rode this lift. It was an amazing ride up the side of the mountain and you even ride across a street where people are driving. Well worth the money.

Lovely Ride, The kids enjoyed it, We took our 7,9 and 10 and they loved it. I would recommend going at night, the view is much better. Also I loved that they took your picture in the sky, pictures were reasonably priced.

$13 a person is well worth it for such a thrilling ride up the mountain. I have always had a mild fear of heights, but I decided to ride and am so glad I did! It takes 10 minutes to get to the summit and once there you are afforded breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains and Downtown Gatlinburg. There... More

I do love going on the sky lift but with a family it is pretty pricey. However, the views are spectacular at the top and there are some really cute novelty gifts and practical joke things to buy. My sons love going there for the jokes!

This simple lift takes you over the creek and up the side of the mountain. Once at the top you can enjoy views of the distant mountains and look down over Gatlinburg. The trip down offers great views. This is the only attraction that we were actually interested in and it reasonably priced at $13.00 per passenger.

Definitely take a ride on this chair lift. When you reach the top and turn around, you see the whole city of Gatlinburg. It's especially pretty at night around Christmas time. The whole city is just lit up. They also take your picture when your chair is close to the top, making for a great keepsake.

Its ok if your afraid of heights and don't want to do the big one on Ober Mt. Very pretty once you get to the top, but the whole hill on the way up is trashed because ppl have no repect for our beautiful city. Please clean up that hill!!!

This was my first time to Gatlinburg. Was a little nervous about getting on the ski lift type cart to get to the top. So glad I did, you can't beat the views. Git some great shots to add to out vacation album. Definitely worth the ride.
