You *think* you're only going to go once. But if you have kids, there is simply no chance of that happening. It is a ton of fun, to be sure, both the ascent on the tram and the descent on the Alpine slide. One of the highlights, too, is that they have a little barbecue restaurant at the top of... More

We ended up riding this slide several times on two different days because the 4 year old had so much fun! This slide is much longer than others we've done which allowed us to go fast, fast, fast! The only issue we had was that children 6 and under had to ride with an adult on the left lane and... More

My 15 and 12 yr old kids and i went on the slide. We really liked it. The ride up is a standard lift. You can take it back down or decide at the top whether you want to slide down. Its pretty at the top. Nice to just sit and eat or drink. It is very easy to control... More

Visited with two senior citizens and kids aged 2, 8, 9 and 11. We could have spent all day but at $7-$10 per ride, which lasts about on minute down and 10 minutes up, it gets VERY expensive. Undeniably, it is a LOT of fun. It is just extremely expensive, even at the cheapest price of $7 per slide. The... More

My family of four (kids 9 &14) all had a blast at the alpine slides! We thought it would be a quick trip up and down and not that big of a deal, but we were pleasantly surprised! The ride up on the tram took a little while and the view was AMAZING! Then at the top, it was like... More

We visited the Presidents' Alpine Slide with our family just a few weeks ago. This was the 5th time we've been there and always enjoy it. The ride up on the chairlift is beautiful! The ride down on the slide is a blast. Kids of all ages enjoy it, but beware to follow the rules on the slide or there... More

We chose not to do the slide, since it was so warm - but had read great things about the food at the top...so rode the Tram up, and it was worth the wait! Delicious, huge burgers grilled right in front of us. The view is nice too - and a nice breeze came thru, helping relieve us from the... More
