Quite an experience—a “must-do” when you’re in the Palm Springs area. We went in January, and it was warm in the desert, but at the top of the ride the temp was near freezing. Dress in layers. The views are literally breathtaking. We took dozens of pictures. The wait at the bottom was long—we didn’t board for an hour after we got our tickets, but they let you know ahead of time at the gate. There are things to do while you wait, including food and a nice little gift shop. They packed us in the tram, but the car rotates so you get a full view. It’s a memorable ride. We didn’t stay long at the top, but there’s plenty to do and see. The ride down is a hoot; it feels like you’re going twice as fast, but actually the tram travels the same speed going up as going down. Highly recommended attraction. If you can, start early and stay late.

Our experience was excellent, this is a must venue when traveling to Palm Springs. The only problem we encountered was the web site which was very confusing and difficult to navigate. Reservations and walk ins are allowed but the website indicates times are booked. We purchased tickets from TripAdvisor with no specific time and were able to enter at 12:30. The site indicated all spots were filled until 6pm.
