Attractions

Catch the excitement at Rushmore Tramway Adventures, the ultimate family-fun adventure park offering exhilarating experiences and unforgettable memories. De-stress with a relaxing ride on our scenic chairlift, feel the rush as you race down our alpine slide at top speed, harness up and glide along our ziplines, try some downhill tubing or visit our new Aerial Park for a crash course in rope climbing available for all skill levels.

In 1965, the Rushmore Aerial Tramway opened to the public. Situated about two miles west of Mount Rushmore National Memorial, each of the sixteen, two-person gondolas offered visitors a remarkable, aerial view of this cherished, national treasure. When guests disembarked at the summit, they were treated to even more spectacular and rarely-seen views.

The original mountain-top park consisted of viewing decks and walking trails, along with waterfalls and flower beds that were crafted out of the mountaintop’s native granite. Fifty years later, these pristine elements remain the foundation of our Mount Rushmore attractions—but there is now so much more to enjoy!
