“Early season”

Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

Was the first week of their summer season, so no crowds, but many attractions were not fully open.

“You pay for the view”

Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

The view is spectacular, however you pay for it at $25 a head. We went on a very windy day, so we did not stay long. The park looked nice with lots of attractions/rides - if you're into those then it would be worth the money.

“Go for the view”

Reviewed 24 May 2012 NEW

person found this review helpful

I nabbed tickets at half off less than a week before friends came to town and we visited the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park only four days before everything was going to open for the summer. This was probably the best thing we could have done, as we did not have to fight crowds or worry about blowing money on... More

“Beautiful! A must see...”

Reviewed 24 May 2012 NEW via mobile

We decided to go to Royal Gorge last minute while we were in Pueblo for the weekend. We arrived just after 7:00 pm (which was the official closing time on the sign) thinking we would just get to look and take pictures from afar. To our surprise and delight they allowed us to enter with a discounted ticket and walk... More

“Royal Gorge”

Reviewed 20 May 2012

person found this review helpful

The Royal Gorge is amazing scenery, so many attractions and rides to take in the sights at the Royal Gorge. We enjoyed all of the attractions and rides. Riding the Rim was the most memorable attraction/ride. Experiencing the Royal Gorge from the back of a mule is breathtaking. The operators of the mule rides added so much to the experience... More

“Riding on the rim was my highlight!”

Reviewed 19 May 2012

Everyone here was so nice! We ate at the cafe for breakfast which was excellent and the staff were enjoyable! The Incline railway was neat. My FAVORITE part of the trip there was the mule rides! Porter and Carole were very friendly and patient! The mules were well kept and tame! You can tell they spend a lot of time... More

“Royal Gorge will not disappoint”

Reviewed 19 May 2012

We visited Royal Gorge Bridge on a cold and very windy day in May. However, despite the weather conditions we were not disappointed with the magnificent views and beauty of this area. When we first arrived, we took the rail down to the bottom of the cavern. Once down there, we walked the brief walkway and took some photos of... More
