Enjoyed the amazing views and took nice pictures at the top! Nice little gift shop and snack bar at the top!! For someone who is afraid of heights, I found this ride to be very enjoyable and would definitely recommend!!

Reasonably rated, nice easy ride knowledgeable crew. We took the lift up to go ice skating, and go to the small animal exhibit. Really good photo opportunities, small child and special needs accessible. Its a short ride up and down under 15 minutes 1 way. You can ride with the same ticket i think it was for 2 days.

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.
