My girlfriend and I passed on paying over $22 total to ride the ski bucket up to the top and back down at Gatlinburg. Save your money and go snow skiing, you'll get plenty of ski bucket rides and views. This is a another high-priced Gatlinburg ripoff. more

We have done this ride several times. My children like it, I don' t like the price. $30 for 3 of us to go up and then come back down again. If you don't mind spending the money it's an awesome view from the top. I think maybe OBER would be better. more

This is a relaxing way to take in the view of Gatlinburg and the surrounding mountains. I am afraid of heights and I loved it. The only issue I have is that they should remind individuals with slip on shoes to take their shoes off. One lady's shoe fell off half way up the mountain. If it was a theme... more

After 18 years of coming to Gatlinburg we finally rode the Sky Lift today. Being a large guy I was concerned about being suspended by a wire high in the air. I asked the ticket lady if thir was a weight limit she said no, asked if any fat guys have fallen off the lift again she said no, so... more

It's a nice view, but definitely NOT worth the price. Basically, you pay, get on the lift. At the top, you get off and look at your picture. Maybe take some scenic pics of the mountains and/or Gatlinburg, walk around the gift shop. Get back onto lift and go down. Save your $$$ and go to Ober Gatlinburg. more

I go to Gatlinburg at least once a year in the fall and I always ride the sky lift! I normally ride it at night. You can see the whole city's lights from the top at night and it's just so relaxing. The only thing I do not like about it is when it stops. You swing alot and that... more

This trip up the mountain is fun and very scenic, but not advised for those who have issues with heights. You get your picture on the way up so when you get to the top of the mountain you are able to purchase it. Other than that there really isn't a lot to do once you get to the top... more

This was just "OK". It was nice and slow. We had a 2 yr old and a 4 yr old and they were not scared at all. I would have given it a better review had the price been better. It cost $54 for my family of 6. I think that $36 would have been a fair price. The views... more

We go to Gatlinburg at least once a year and one of my favorite things to do is ride the Sky Lift. It has great views and the best time to go is during the Fall. Seeing all of the color changes of the tree's is amazing. more

I've been going to Gatlinburg 3 times a year for the past 3 years and I've always gone on the skylift. The view is amazing and the ride up is releaxing. Once you get to the top, take your time to enjoy the outstanding view. Also, there is a little gift shop and has some cute things. There is a... more
