Peak nights (Fri to Sun, plus Dec 21 to 31) are $25 per adult and $17 per child. Standard nights are $19 and $13, and they are our quietest.

Parking is free. The main lot sits right across from the entrance, and attendants will guide you to the overflow lot near the bike park on busy nights.

We're at 7,000 feet, so December evenings run in the 20s and 30s. Warm coats, hats, gloves, and closed-toe shoes with good tread. There may be snow or ice on the path.

All ticket sales are final. Worried about the weather, unexpected illness, or just want more flexibility? Purchase trip protection. Life happens.
