    Gold Runner Coaster
    Brad M.

    We took the 9:30 AM gondola up to Base 8. Picked up our tickets that we previously purchased online at Will Call and walked over to the Gold Runner Coaster by 9:50. We rode twice by 10:20 and then took the chairlift up for the Alpine Slide. Finished all three Pioneer Pass activities by 10:45am. You can pay the difference to upgrade to an all day pass, if you'd like. Getting there early meant we didn't wait on any lines.

    Overpriced and disappointing. Lines were crazy long. My boys were so excited about going fast down the Alpine slide but the staff person told them to go soon after another kid started. My son had to CRAWL down the slide behind this kid. He was so upset that we paid so much money and it was not fun at all. If you decide to do it, get tickets online in advance for a little less wait time. Stick with the free stuff. Google Kathryn Egly dot com and free Breckenridge!

    This is another summer activity when coming up the free gondola to Peak 7. There are a few kid activities, and Putt Putt Golf, as the area is always under construction. See restaurants, have drinks, peruse a few shops, use restrooms and do the kid activities. We come here after a few days of hiking to relax. The FUN on the slope is the hike down through the forest and marsh. It's a moderate hike for anyone but the littlest as there are tree roots and rocks. A few areas are steep, but short. You may see a moose! Ask where the trail is. The trailhead is by a sandy parking area behind the parking garage to the left of the gondola as you travel up on it. Then, hike and take the low gondola back to the station.

    Ok, this place is crazy expensive, so as long as you're ok with that, read on. My kids wanted to try the Alpine Slide and the Gold Coaster. We weren't sure if we should buy one ride for $45 per person, or get the 3-pack. We went a couple of times in the afternoon and there was impending rain. The ticket seller told me we would lose our tickets if they had to shut down for weather (which generally comes in the afternoon), so we decided to come first thing the next morning for better chances of no rain. We were first in line and got our tickets and went to the alpine slide. My sons 8 and 11 thought the slide was lame because they couldn't reach far enough to push the lever forward to go fast and they slowed a lot of people down behind them. Because I had to ride with my daughter who is under the height limit, I was able to push the lever but it was challenging. The alpine slide was underwhelming. We then went to the Gold Coaster and it was AMAZINGLY FUN! We all loved it and rode it twice. Every person we saw had a smile on their face at the end of the ride. We all wished we would have used all three passes on this ride. We don't do any of the other attractions because they didn't seem worthy of using one of our three passes. If you buy the unlimited pass, I could see doing the other items to pass the time and get your $$'s worth. One tip: the ticket seller said if we did a 1 or 3 ride pass and wanted to come back and upgrade to a higher package we could just pay the difference between what we had already paid and the other package amount we wanted to upgrade to. I liked that that was an option. Going in the morning mid-week really helped avoid long lines. I also think it helped that it was mid-August and many kids are already back in school.

    We came here in September because we were looking for something to do that everyone could participate in and that the kid would enjoy. It's not easy to please a teenager! We decided to do this because there seemed to be a lot we could do for the day. First off, this place is not cheap so we leaned toward getting the best value for the money which is still expensive at 100 bucks each. Word to the wise, check the forecast before you come because there are NO refunds and if there is a lightning strike anywhere within 20 miles, they close everything. Our day started out okay. We rode the different coasters down the mountain. One you control yourself and the other is on a track. On each of these, you control the speed yourself so you can go as fast or as slow as you want. We all had fun doing these. We had paid a little extra to do the zip lining so we decided to do this next. We were all excited to do this. We got our instructions, got our gear and rode the ski lift up to the top... where we were told there was a lightning strike ten miles away and they were closing down. Ok, so now what? They said we could wait around for awhile but they had to wait half an hour before the last strike before they could open again. After about 10 minutes, another lightning strike so the clock started over. We waited for someone to pick us up but eventually decided to hike back down the mountain on out own two feet. I won't bore you with the rest of the day but basically we rode the coasters a couple more times and that was it because of lightning the rest of the day. So yeah this was a waste of money. Even on a sunny day, there is not a whole lot to do so I don't think I can recommend this as it isn't good value for the money.

    Well, let's just say there was nothing Epic about Epic Discovery. We bought the Adventure pass which was quite pricey. It's actually cheaper to buy a pass for Elitch Gardens in Denver and much, much, more to do and 100 times more fun. The lines were very long. You are looking at 45 min-to an hour to do the alpine slide or gold coaster. If there is even a hint of rain, they shut things down. They don't wait for lightening....Right now, only those two items are open for teenagers and adults. The other activities are closed and they do not discount the ticket due to that. The other zip line, tubing, trampoline bungee jumping are for little kids or kids under 80- 100 lbs. The gemstone panning is not panning at all and you are only allowed to do it once with your pass. So once you've done the slide, coaster, and the gemstone panning you are pretty much done unless you have small children. It's important to note that the little kids wait in lines that take just as long and I saw so many kids just going nuts because it took so long. It later started to rain around 2:00 and they shut down the gondola, rushed everyone onto buses that were so packed that people were falling on top of sitting people as they tried to hold on to the above rails and although you wore masks, it wouldn't have helped due to how tightly the buses were packed. Save your money and go elsewhere. We made the best of it because we were already up there and had paid for the passes but we won't be back.

    Zip line short and slow

    So disappointing for the price you pay. We did the zip line and even the younger children were complaining on how slow the zip line was. Save your money. If anything just do the free gondola ride and enjoy the scenery

    Because I'm not that much of a skier (in fact I've been skiing only once in my life - when I was 8 years old!) so this review is strictly for SUMMER FUN PARK which my friends and I visited recently this past weekend. As much as I love the town of Breckenridge, I was very underwhelmed and actually annoyed with this park and their staff. Why? Here goes: 1. We bought tickets at the main office near the parking lot to take the gondola's up to the park. You can either purchase a day pass for a whopping $76 or buy activities a la carte. If you plan to do more than one activity, it starts to add up fast, hence the reason we purchased the day pass. Online, the park states that military members are able to get a day pass for $50 -which we were excited for as 3 of our people had military id's. Figuring we would have them purchase the tickets to receive the discount, we had them approach the window - only to be defensively yelled at saying that we couldn't do that, and that it was only for ACTIVE military members. We were all a little peeved in having to spend the entire $76 for the day - but figured it might be worth it. 2. The rude lady at the ticket window put a bad taste in my mouth of the park right away :( 3. The alpine slide is pretty cool....however, be super careful on it. my friends and I got sliding a little too fast and hit the turns hard enough to throw us off our carts. Let's just say the view is great, but not so much fun when you slide on fiberglass, get wicked burns and have to visit the medic! boo! Visit the coaster - that was my a favorite of mine....mainly because I was strapped in. ha! All in all - I think I'd rethink doing this. Although it was fun to hang out with my friends in the mountains, I don't think I'd drop this amount of money on this place again. #sorrynotsorry

    This is the summer hangout! The gondola ride up to peak 8 is free. If you would like to bring up your bike on the gondola there is a charge. I personally have only done the biking activity. If you choose to take your bike up to the top of the mountain and switchback down there is a charge for the ski lift to carry your bike. Even if you are not going to do any of the activities it is still a great spot to see all the mountain peaks. There are restaurants. Just grabbing a cool drink and sitting outside watching the people is entertaining.

    $66/person for tix. Rides close often. Hours of waiting. Refunds involve long waits, if you can get them.

From the gondola, I could see that the luge is the cool ride that goes around the mountainside. I went on the cave tour with Leslie. She was knowledgeable and took time to answer our group's questions at the end. She seemed very passionate about her work; she would say things like, "check this out - it's really cool". Overall this is an interesting place to check out if you need something to do in this area. It might be a fun date spot or come with friends.

My daughter and I arrived around 11am and we decided to have a little picnic in the back of the car, which seemed easier than trying to carry stuff through TT until we reached the picnic tables. The scenery is so pretty here, which made our little trunk picnic even more special! My daughter is 5 and was probably JUST young enough to enjoy it. We rode the train first--a short but cute ride--and then made our way through the town. She loved checking out all of the buildings, as well as seeing how they were decorated inside. So many dolls and scenes! The playground is sparse and outdated, but of course we had to spend a little time there. Our only negative experience was with the woman working the register in the gift shop. We were buying something, and my daughter picked up a little trinket that you're supposed to turn over + watch the bubbles move. Instead of just asking her to put it down (again: it's for playing with! And it was right in front of her face!) she ripped it out of her hands. While this doesn't classify as touching someone else's kid, it was close enough for me. Overall, a 4-star experience! I'm glad we took the time to go.

You have the option to pay for unlimited rides or you can buy individual tickets for the rides you want. Since most of the rides would have made me vomit at this age, I was happy to pay $2.50 for a train ride around the lake. Jerry, the guy running the train, was fantastic! He really seems to love his job and his enthusiasm is contagious. I did think it was odd that on the list of rules as you line up to pay, it says no photos are allowed. BIZARRE. I guess they don't want any photos getting out of a ride that's about to break down? Clearly people were ignoring it, as who doesn't want photos of your kids having a blast on the rides! I have mixed feelings about this place. CLEARLY, people love the nostalgia. What bothers me is the lack of love behind it.
