About

Experience the awe-inspiring views of North America's highest suspension bridge.

Story

Hanging 956 feet high above Colorado’s Arkansas River, the Royal Gorge Bridge is North America’s highest suspension bridge. This legendary feat of engineering is renowned the world over. Built in 1929 for $350,000, the cost today would easily exceed $20 million. Back then, and even so today, is a world wonder.

Nice place with great views but bit expansive. So bridge walk, gondola ride, kids rides all included. But you have to pay for zip lining. 
When we entered we headed straight towards gondola rides, but it was closed due to lightning. and it was closed for a good 2 hrs , we were quite disappointed at first since the staff was not sure when it would open again (it depends on weather, it can be closed for hours or for the whole day), once it was opened there were long queues.
 On the other side of the bridge there is children play place with some slides and carousal, but portable restrooms. On the entrance side there are proper restrooms. Nice sitting area and restaurant and native American dance experience was quite nice.

I have no idea why there are so many positive reviews. I should mention we went on Labor Day weekend , so it may have been busier than normal. This place doesn't seem like it was built for large crowds. This  is a major tourist trap!! We started out by waiting in line for the women's restroom for 20 minutes. Then we waited a good 10-15 minutes just to buy our ticket! It cost $50 for my husband and I to get in. Outrageously overpriced! The lines were so unorganized and there were no signs to direct us...we couldn't even tell where a line started! I was not impressed with the layout for strollers. Not stroller friendly at all. They have some ramps, but you go down it and then there's stairs! Most of the ramps are out of the way. So inconvenient. To get on the gondola there is no ramp at all...we had to pick the stroller up to get it up the stairs. Food and water is terribly overpriced. If you get motion sickness easily, the bridge is not very fun. From the moment we stepped on I started getting sick. I could barely enjoy the view because I needed to get off before barfing. There is a kids area that has a free carousel Ride, a little playground (must be 5 years old to play) and a water pad. We waited in line for the gondola for at least 30 minutes. Then the ride was only 5 minutes long. Pretty views, kind of cool, but overall I could have lived without this expensive trip. 

Pros: bathrooms everywhere, kid area, view of canyon

Beautiful views, nice photo opportunities and a great gondola ride. I understand that it costs a lot of money to run the place, but entrance fees were too high for what it was. Worth one visit to cross off your list, but I don't think we will come back. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Decent kids playground as well.

We spent a morning at the Gorge enjoying the views.  The bridge is great but be careful if you pay the general admission including the gondola ride.  If there are winds it will not run and they do not provide refunds to the "just walk" over the bridge rate.

It indeed was a great morning for my family.

Came here right when it opened at 8AM because we made our way from Utah the night before. So we went to the bridge and it was pretty cheap. It was $22 for all three of us without the gondola because we had time to kill before the skyline flyer opened up. We took a couple of shots on the bridge as it was really open and no one was there.  This was on 10/6/17. 
There was no snack areas open even though it was 10am. We went on the skyline flyer and the wait capacity is 250 max so sorry tall body builders, you can't go on. The package is $65 for both the zip line and the skyline flyer. Pretty good deal in my opinion. The flyer is best with two people because you get more momentum and therefore more pendulum swings. The video and pictures are $30/40 bucks as a separate fee. It's expensive but hey why not?

We got that done and started the zip line and this is the real reason why I had to take 3 stars away. The first zip line went great and the first person of our party got his pictures and videos. Now before I continue, there is a sign that says video is not guaranteed so there are no re-flights issued. Okay that's understandable if the system is down. Now the second person comes from a party on the zip line and then a couple comes right after.

So we talk to the person which is a girl that is in charge of pictures and it's literally pressing a button. That's it. No she was able to get the video and picture of the first person and somehow skipped the second person but got the couple right after??? That meant she was not paying attention at all and then she tried to cover it up with "technical" difficulties. If it was then no one would have got their pictures at all. She gave us a lame half meant apology and basically told us we are screwed. No one was there to do anything and I felt like we spent extra $15 bucks for no reason. 

For solely that reason I have to knock it down 3 stars because they should have competent people working there and not to give a lame excuse and I think that no re flight policy is extremely ridiculous if a video isn't taken. It basically means that they are covered even if the employee is lazy!
Really bad business practice to not do everything you can to make your a customers happy especially when it's the fault of the company
