Aerial Adventure Park

Aerial Adventure Park has rapidly become one of the most popular attractions in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Imagine yourself exploring the Black Hills in our obstacle course suspended in the trees! Following a safety demonstration, you’ll begin your adventure by traversing suspended bridges, climbing log ladders, balancing along with cables, and riding ziplines through the forest!

After our most recent addition, Rushmore Tramway Adventures is now offering eight different Aerial Adventure Park courses. Sprawling over two acres, incorporating upwards of 100 different platforms, and 11 zip lines it’s the ultimate adventure. Starting with the yellow course being the easiest to black being the most difficult, we’ve ensured there’s something for all skill levels in your family or group.

Be sure to wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing!

Alpine Slide

The 2000-foot Alpine Slide continues to be a fan favorite! Hailed as one of the best maintained Alpine Slides in the country, imagine bobsledding without the snow and cold!

Riders descend two parallel tracks on one of a kind wheeled sleds through dips and high-banked turns. Controlled by a hand brake, riders determine their own speed and thrill level. The Alpine Slide has proven to be one of the most addicting attractions at Rushmore Tramway Adventures – for our employees too!

The Alpine Slide is great for everyone from young kids to seasoned adults. Bring your entire family as adults are able to ride double with their little ones.

See you at the bottom!

Scenic Chairlift

For over fifty years the scenic chairlift has provided breathtaking views of Mount Rushmore and the beautiful Black Hills’ scenery. The scenic chairlift allows people of all ages to enjoy a full nature immersion as you float through the Ponderosa Pines on your way towards our mountain-top summit.

The scenic chairlift is a great way for family and friends to effortlessly connect to nature and the Black Hills. Simply sit back and let yourself experience unparalleled views of Mount Rushmore and endless miles of the Black Hills National Forest!

After relaxing at our summit oasis, ride the chairlift back down if you’d like or if you’re feeling more of an adventure, check out the thrills of the Alpine Slide!

800' Zipline

If you haven’t ever done a zipline before you are missing out! Rushmore Tramway Adventures has two side-by-side, 800-foot zip lines that allow friends and family to race to the bottom. There’s nothing more thrilling than zipping through the Black Hills at speeds of almost 40 miles per hour!

Our highly trained staff does pretty much everything for you. After being situated into a full-body harness, you’ll take a leisurely walk up to our zipline launching deck. Once there, our Zip Pros take it from there and send you on your way to a thrill of a lifetime!

Don’t worry about having to brake or slow down. We have that covered! We use a world-renowned, magnetic braking system called ZipStop that does all the work for you. With safety as our primary concern, two additional brakes ensure people of all ages have the thrill of a lifetime!

Pinnacle 2 Hour Zipline Tour

Travel through the lush landscapes of the Black Hills surrounding Mt. Rushmore on this ultimate outdoor adventure tour! Push yourself beyond your limits as you embark on a two-hour journey of nature and ziplines. Spanning over a mile of forest, experience 5 side-by-side dueling ziplines reaching heights of up to 400 feet!

Our professional guides are with you every step of the way as you experience the Black Hills from the air. They’ll uncover South Dakota’s rich history and keep you laughing along the way. As South Dakota’s first zipline tour, we’re extremely excited to offer the unique blend of adventure, adrenaline, and the outdoors.

Did we mention you can see the Mount Rushmore National Memorial on almost every zipline?! We think that’s pretty darn cool!

Adding to our arsenal of adrenaline-pumping attractions, the Jump Tower does not disappoint! If you’ve ever dreamed of free falling, this is it!

Towering 60 feet high, the Jump Tower allows participants to push their limits and conquer their fears. Step up to the ledge and just walk off to experience the heart-pounding thrill of free-falling nearly 25 feet! Moments later, the Quick Jump device activates its braking system which will gently lower you back to earth.

Prefer to watch instead? Grab a seat down below and cheer on the brave souls who dare to jump!

George's Grill

Home of the Cloud Burger!

Just over a mile across the valley from the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, we’ve created an escape from reality. The Grille sits overlooking the vast expanse of the Black Hills National Forest as well as Mount Rushmore.

We’re serving up classic American food such as brats, bison burgers, and chicken sandwiches to satisfy your appetite. Thirsty? Wash it all down with countless domestic and locally brewed beers. There’s something pretty spectacular about enjoying a cold brew on top of a mountain looking at Mount Rushmore.

We’ve taken a lot of pride in creating a meaningful place to relax outdoors. The abundance of meticulously maintained flower gardens and walking trails create a Zen-like flow that refreshes us all.

Truly a hidden gem, our summit Grille is arguably the most scenic lunch spot in the Black Hills. Don’t take it from us, come experience the splendor first-hand!

Tubing Hill

The first and only summer tubing hill in South Dakota! Yep, that’s right. At nearly 450 feet long, this lazy thrill ride is designed for all ages between 4 and 104 years old. The Tubing Hill has four different lanes that tubers can cruise down over whoops and bumps until coming to a gradual stop at the bottom. Not ready to go full tilt? No problem. The Tubing Hill also has a kids’ lane that allows younger riders to experience the same thrill at slower speeds!

Once you’ve finished your first Tubing Hill run simply step on the magic carpet and let it do the work as it takes you to the top for days of endless tubing!

How does summer tubing even work?! We’ve got you covered. Our Tubing Hill is gravity driven where each rider descends down individual lanes made of recycled plastic (think artificial turf) in an inflatable tube with covered sides and bottom!

• doltyb 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great experience, a little pricey My boyfriend and I did the 2 hour zip line tour and we had a great time. Our tour guides (unfortunately I don't remember their names) were professional and experienced while remaining comfortable, relaxed, and funny. The overall experience was very enjoyable and fun, though expensive - especially after the extra fees on top of the base ticket prices. The actual time you spend zip lining is only approximately 5 minutes total, between the 5 different lines. It's a great experience, but may not be entirely worth the price they're asking, in my honest opinion. Read more Written 7 September 2023

If you are up for some adrenaline rush and physical exertion (can you climb a 20ft wobbly rope ladder that makes you feel inverted), then definitely add this to your Mt Rushmore vacation itinerary. Located just 5-8 mins from the Mt Rushmore parking lot. We started of with a $35 package 800ft Zipline and "bungee" jump for the boys and $25 Zipline for us. TIP: don't waste your money on the jump, or the 800ft (15 second) Zipline. Go straight for the Aerial ropes course which have those elements built into several of their 8 paths/courses. We decided after that we wanted to do the 2hr Aerial adventure ropes course high in the trees, because it looked fun, well-built, new, and safe. TIP: They wouldn't re-bundle what we already did into a new package rate. Lame!!!! Buy what you think you might do up front. The regular rate is $49 for 2hrs or $10 less for 1h15m twilight pricing (after 5:00p). You have to start your last path by 6p. And you cannot try a higher difficulty path without leveling up from an easier level (yellow to green to blue to black). We did the twilight rate and only had time for the yellow, green, and blue. The green and blue were really fun, and had great Zipline and Jump elements built in. We were told the black is a real workout, not quite American ninja warrior hard, but hard. The equipment is very safe and the staff is well trained. They use a tweezle ropes system which is very safe with built in redundancies. Some of the yellow path equipment could use some tightening. Bathrooms were nasty. All in all, we had a blast and wished we could have spent all day there. This was the best ropes course we have ever tried.

Zipline on a green course.

This place was amazing!!! Great experience, great staff. They welcomed us with open arms, very fun, definitely recommend when visiting this city. COME HERE!

This place is sooo much fun for anyone over 7! Even if your little one is usually brave, it's semi difficult and that's why there are age restrictions. We lied to have our 5 year old go and he got scared and had to be rescued. Could've saved $30 by following the rules. You could spend all day here, but they limit you to two hours. They didn't tell us that and we took our time and we only got to do two courses. Would have loved to do more and as long as you start last course under your time limit they let you finish it, so bring a watch!

This was an interesting place to visit, only spent about 45mins here. Price to go on the ski lift is $9/per person and the slide was $12/per person. While on the ski lift they take your picture and the picture prices range from $10-$18.

A fun time, but a bit expensive for a single zip line. Located in Keystone next to the Alpine Slide. This lace offers up a ropes course as well as a zip line. We were short on time and opted to just do the zip line. Overall, it was quick and easy. The staff helps you get ready, you hike up to the platform, they give you some instructions, and off you go. It was fun, albeit over pretty quickly. My 8 year had a blast, so it was a good 30 minutes or less of fun while exploring Keystone.

Our kids had a blast! The entire course can be done in 1.5 hours. Prices are very reasonable based on zip line prices in our home state. After a day of museums we let our children have a fun afternoon. The college age staff when we first arrived were very nice and helpful. My only complaint is the staff in the late afternoon. One staff threw the harness on the floor and was fairly rude to my young son. I give this place 5 stars for the fun an safety of the course and hope the afternoon staff was having a bad day.

This was right across the street from our hotel. The price seemed a little steep at first, but after doing this it was worth every penny. I have 8 year old twins and they both loved this. It was a little scary at first, but we all got the hang of it pretty quick. My kids were able to hook themselves up all by themselves after a couple of the stations. This is one thing you should do for sure on your vacation.
