On the bridge and in the park
The view of the gorge from the bridge is something to see – would recommend a Royal Gorge visit to anyone.
Denise, United States · solo traveller, 2026
We loved the glass-bottom gondola ride across the canyon. A great, easy way to see the Royal Gorge with kids.
Cintra, United States · family with kids, 2026
Friendly, helpful staff and we happily spent hours here. Good value for a full family day out at the park.
Denise, United States · family with kids, 2026
Loved it overall. The line for the far side of the zip line was longer than we expected, so go early.

Rafting the gorge
Stunning scenery and a skilled, helpful guide – every stretch of the Royal Gorge rafting trip felt better than the last.
Richard, United States · couple, 2023
Booked the half-day trip for the free lunch and the included photo, and both delivered. Guide Siggy knew the river well.
Erin, United States · couple, 2025
The whole Lost Paddle team gave us a full-day adventure with a small, family feel. Guide Tyler was excellent.
Andrea, United States · group, 2025
Had a blast on the advanced rapids. Our guide Zach kept a great attitude and everyone felt comfortable.
Peggy, United States · group, 2026
By jeep and by rail
Our jeep guide was full of history and nature along the way, and driving over the Royal Gorge Bridge was the highlight.
Tim, United States · couple, 2026
Great guide and views, but the tour gives only ten to fifteen minutes at the bridge itself – plan to return to the park after.
Floyd, United States · couple, 2021
The train ride gave us the Royal Gorge from an angle you can't get any other way. The wait staff and food were great.
Fran, United States · family with teens, 2026
The railroad through the canyon was a relaxing ride and the scenery was worth it – just note that meals cost extra on top of the ticket.
Cynthia, United States · couple, 2026
