Grandfather Mountain Entrance Gate

"This is one of those places I like to visit any time I am nearby. There are several great places to picnic, take selfies, or climb rocks. The zoo is always great-- I could watch the otters play all day. The top of the mountain is other-worldly. I have been there in a warm summer day when the top of the mountain is cold and extremely windy. It is a great experience, and walking across the bridge is always an experience."

"You get to set I a long line just for some one to tell you that you need to purchase your tickets on line and they were all sold out. It's a freaking mountain people. You shut down the mountain because of to many people. WHAT that's some dumb economics. What a joke"

"We rode to the top on our Harley-Davidson CVO Electra Glide Ultra Limited and crossed the mile high swinging bridge and it was absolutely beautiful! Ride safe!"

"I’ve been visiting for years, but went the other day with family for the first time since Covid. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I think it is overpriced. I would go more often if it was more affordable. The mile high swinging bridge is amazing with breathtaking views. I also love the animal habitats. However, if it’s a foggy day or the animals aren’t out - that’s a big price for a ticket in per person (rather than pay by car). The fudge is also a favorite but we didn’t buy any this last time (it was $12 for half a pound, too). If you live in the area or are a student, I highly recommend visiting in April during dollar days. Totally worth it!"

"Fun attraction. They give you a jp drive or a CD for an audio tour. Get there early as the line of cars adds up. MUST BUY TICKETS PRIOR TO ENTRY. Picnic tables, a museum, a gift shop, hiking trails and the mile high bridge are highlights on this park. Grandfather Trail can be accessed at the top of the park near the bridge. Plenty of parking officers around to answer any questions."
