Rushmore Tramway Adventures, Keystone

Pretty pricey, but we still had fun. DON'T buy tickets in advance. The website is very confusing on what you're buying and it just caused a mess when we got to the ticket counter (although the staff was SUPER SUPER friendly and got it fixed right away). The tube slide is super fun, so glad for the people mover to get you to the top instead of a billion stairs! Great touch! The burger place at the top was just ok. Again, pricey, but they have lots of seating in the shade and you have views of Mount Rushmore and they have a really pretty garden up there. The staff working the burger place were VERY VERY slow. You can tell its a bunch of high school kids that don't have anything better to do so they aren't in a hurry. It made the wait SUPER long. So don't be in a hurry if you plan to eat there. Just sit and enjoy the views and the scenery and the shade.

I get that this is a tourist attraction, but the prices are just outrageous. It's $18 for one adult ride down the alpine slide, $10 for kids. So for my husband and I, and one child it was $46. I just don't feel like the value is there for something that lasted less than 5 minutes. Granted you get to ride a ski lift to the top of the slide, but that's not what I was paying for. I'm still happy we did it. I was a very cool experience, just pricey.
