You’ll find Rushmore Tramway Adventures in the little Black Hills town of Keystone. This exciting park was established in 1965, and it’s absolutely packed-full with outdoor adventures.
Since new ownership at the turn of the century, Rushmore Tramway Adventures has been transformed into the most exciting destination in the Black Hills, yet it still encompasses its main purpose: to offer spectacular aerial views of Mount Rushmore. Each attraction
offers a unique view of the dramatic landscape of the lovely region.
Ride the park’s oldest attraction and enjoy a scenic chairlift that will take you to a gorgeous mountain-top park with remarkable views of Mount Rushmore below.
While you’re up there, meander through the walking trails or indulge in a variety of delicious foods at Mountain-Top Grille. Their buffalo burgers are downright mouth-watering.
The Arial Adventure Park has 8 different challenge courses with various degrees of difficulty. Whether you’re a rookie climber or an expert, you’ll be able to find the right course for you suspended up in the Ponderosa Pines.
Zip lining is an adrenaline-charged adventure for visitors of all ages. While strapped in, there's nothing to hold onto. Fly through the air and enjoy the exhilarating rush and the fresh mountain air.
If you’re an adventure seeker looking for the ultimate thrill, head over to the brand new Free-Fall Tower! Drop 25 feet before being caught by the quick-jump mechanist that will gently lower you to the ground. This is an undesirable exhilarating rush that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime!
Rushmore Tramway Adventures is truly the perfect place to take the whole family. Enjoy the breathtaking views of our state’s iconic monument and take advantage of the fun-filled attractions they have to offer. Could there even be a more perfect vacation destination?
