By far, the WORST Park I have ever been to. ALL of the workers I dealt with were foreign and couldn't have cared less... They must have some special worker program to save money. Well, I hope it works but all you will have is one-timers. We definitely will NEVER go back. It is old and the facilities are from... more

I totally agree with the last post titled "Disapointing". We were there during the same weekend and and to endure the same things. Tram ride to the top at $40 for the family...then you don't know when you get to the top if you will even get tickets for the event you want...tubing. We figured out that we could drive... more

You have to pay for the tram ride up to purchase your tickets for everything on top (snow boarding, tubing, skiing, ice skating, etc.). Old dumpy money pit! Needs lots of renovation. Don't recommend eating at top. Stick with coffee or hot chocolate. You are misinformed down below. They want your money for the tram ride 1st and then you... more

On a family vacation, we decided to try skiing for our first time (except for one of us). The older members of the family decided to take lessons once they got out on the bunny slope, and they felt pretty good after getting a good long explanation from a very personable instructor who gave them a lot of individual attention.... more

I have to start with the tram ride. Yes, the ride is pricey. I don't know if it is because we went on a weekday during off season or not, but we only paid once and were allowed to ride it unlimited times that day, and the next. We actually rather enjoyed the ride, the view was beautiful. I could... more

The view at the top of the mountain is breathtaking but that pathetic band (I use the word loosely) playing was atrocious. more

The tram ride at $10.00 per adult is expensive but it is a great experience so my husband and I thought, why not? We waited about 15 minutes to catch the tram and we were packed on the tram like cattle. Many people who were the last few to get on were hesitant, saying there was no enough room for... more

I like trams. We recently visited the Sandia Peak Tram in Albuquerque, NM and it was wonderful. The Ober Gatlinburg tram could not be more opposite. First off, it's big just like they say. The problem is that it's so big that only the fortunate few that happen to be crammed against a window (they packed it very full) can... more

The tram to get to Ober Gatlinburg isn't all it's cracked up to be unless you have a spot by the window. If you can see outside then it's a really neat scenic ride. The chair lift is where it's at, mostly because of the view from the top and the bluegrass band that plays. The chair lift is why... more

We rode the tram to Ober on Saturday the 10th of October. It was drizzling outside and a bit chilly with a little fog, but the tram offered some nice views of the mountains on the way up and down. Once to the top they offer, ice skating, tons of shops and places to eat inside, outside they have a... more
