“ My family and I loved it, every second of it! It's a bit pricey, but definitely worth trying out. The view, the hiking trails, and the Gondola was all worth it. We didn't try the ski lifts, but hoping to try it out next time. ”
“ Okay so this little trip kind of had me up in Aurora because I am afraid of heights and I was trying to help myself by going on the skyliner and boy we'll re-up high I didn't freaked out not even once because I was thinking about good thoughts which helped a lot but definitely beautiful pictures and you can't beat these ”
“ The food was so much better than expecting. You can expect to pay a hefty price tag for it, but it’s worth it. Especially, if you just got done with a hike and need to warm up. ”
“ Have to take a Gondola ride up there - was a fun thing for us to do while visiting MN - Took my grandson & he loved it! Great views from on top of the mountain where this restaurant is located - restaurant itself is cool with its location - menu is pretty basic & not overly priced considering the location - cafeteria style works well with the amount of people that pass through there. Definitely recommend it - if anything - just for the experience - then we were off to the alpine slides which are in same area - (have to take the Gondola ride down) another fun place that has been there for many years ”
“ Classy place took the gondola up with my two daughters, we hiked the trails on moose mountain, it was nice we also went back down just to go to the alpine slide, that was fun too. I recommend it if you are in the mood for fun. ”
“ Awesome color this year! Walked the trails up by the chalet. Beautiful day in the 70's, sunny, no wind. Perfect for a gondola ride. ”
“ Beautiful place. Rain, snow or shine. Simply beautiful. We saw reviews that line to the Gondola were long. But when we got there on a gloomy Friday 9/29/23. It wasn't long at all. Actually there was no line. My brother and sister and I had the most amazing time. The view is spectacular. The colors were mesmerizing. It looks like a painting. Picasso!!!! Love love love our experience there. Would love to go back and this time stay the night since we did a day trip from Minneapolis. ”
“ We loved this place. On the way to Grand Portage and Isle Royale, we decided to stop and ride the gondola to the summit. It was a great decision! The views were amazing. The system was recently updated and the ride is super smooth. At the top there are some great trails leading to spectacular views. The Summit Chalet serves snacks and has comfortable outdoor seating. ”
