Outstanding visit. The process of boarding and deboarding are simple enough. Tram gets up the mountain lickity split…the views are amazing. Once up top you can picnic or get fast food or sit down and order a meal with an alcoholic beverage. There are also a couple hikes. The Desert View Trail has several spectacular overlooks. The day was easily worth the cost.

Wow is all I can say. This very popular attraction draws tourists and locals. We were there during Modernism week so the crowds were large. The wait was 2-3 hours, but a few days later, we only waited a little over an hour. Even in the lounge waiting area there is a cafeteria, historical review and gift shop. There is a lovely outdoor waiting area. The experience is very organized with times listed on your ticket. There are two trams that travel back and forth. Each car holds approximately 30 people - quite large. Going up the mountain is both exciting and daunting. Arrival at the top is awesome. It is a state park at the top with trails, a restaurant, cafeteria and gift shop. I would definitely recommend this experience - unless you can't handle heights.

We just love this tramway. It is great for families with kids who don't want to hike and for those that can not handle hiking. It can be very hot in Palm Springs so we avoid the summer. The tram is such a great way to see the dessert and all of it is magical. The trams have AC when needed and the price is fair. You will be able to see so much on the tram. At the Mountain Station when you reach the top you can enjoy viewpoints they have a cocktail lounge, and a nice gift shop. We love the Natural History Museum and the two documentary movies about the. Tramway. They have 2 places to eat, you can dine at one of the two restaurants, Peaks Restaurant offers fine dining, while the Pines Restaurant offers an affordable self-serve alternative. Construction of the Tramway began 1963. The first tower is the only one that can be reached by road. The Tramway has been designated a historical civil engineering landmark. In 1998 the Tramway began its modernization program that would see the installation in 2000 new cars . Since September 2000, passengers ride the world's largest rotating tramcars. It really is a must do in Palm Springs. We go there every time. well almost every time we are in the area.

absolutely amazing! The ride up the mountain is both thrilling and beautiful, offering incredible views of the desert landscape below. Once you reach the top, there's so much to explore, from hiking trails to a cozy restaurant with delicious food. It's definitely a must-do experience if you're in Palm Springs!

The tram itself is amazing. The floor rotates and it speeds up the mountain. Loved that part. Parking was $15, which was a little pricey, but we got the food option added to our ticket, which was only $10, and although a cafeteria-type meal, still probably underpriced, a rarity these days. I felt like the parking subsidized the meal. Tickets are available online or in person. I think the way they do this makes no sense. They allocate a certain number of tickets to sell online, but then say they rarely actually sell out of in person tickets, so if they are sold out online, just come in person. So they were sold out online the day we wanted to go, so we drove up there in person. But the wait time once we got there was two hours. I wish they had just let us buy a ticket online, so we could have timed our arrival better and not had to sit around two hours. It was really cold at the top in April. Dress warm. They had hiking and camping options that looked really fun. We might go back someday for the hiking and camping part. Overall, a good time.

One of the most popular attractions in Palm Springs, and easy to see why. Situated 8100 feet above sea level, you get a pretty good view of the area. The tram that takes you to the top rotates, so that you get a 360 degree view as you journey up to the top. So don’t worry about where you are in the tram when you get in. You’ll rotate around. Once you go up the tramway to the top, there are various viewpoints and trails. People who are afraid of heights did not enjoy this, based on what I saw in the time I was there. A definite “must do” if you are in Palm Springs. Go early in the morning, as it gets busy quickly. The temperature is 10-20 degrees F cooler up there, so be warned you might want to bring along a jacket.

Great experience! It is highly recommended to get tickets first thing in the morning for the desired time. And check the temperature at the top. The day we went it was 30 degrees Celsius below and -1 at the top. We went from muscular to snow! We went at 4pm and chose the option with dinner. It was great! We found the snowy forest during the day (we could have gone earlier and bought a culipatin). The food was very delicious and abundant. We were able to see the sunset on the mountain and go down at night. A complete experience!!!

What an amazing iconic gem in Palm Springs. We got there late pm for ticket up to top, dinner included in ticket, su set, Eve ing walk and return down by 8,30 before it got to hectic. Fantastic iconic scenic tourist spot. Great value dinner, tram ride up and back. Lovely bar and restaurant. We had a great time. Terrific views, great parking. A must to do if you are visiting Palm Springs, note**** take a jacket, temp can be very much cooler at the top of the mountain to the valley.

This is very well done. Make sure to get your ticket in advance if you can. Pick the time and day that is best for you. The views from up on top are amazing, but sometimes can be hazy from humidity is the air. There is a nice restaurant on top as well.

The tram ride was very quick, but it was a little shaky. I didn’t realize the inside rotated the entire time, but it was nice to see the view. At the top of the mountain, there were a few trails to walk, places to eat, and scenic viewpoints. We did the nature trail loop which was just under a mile. It was pretty flat, aside from the steep ramps to get to the path. It’s definitely chilly, but it’s great to see! We did have to buy tickets in advance, and it was getting fairly crowded as the day went on.
