Aerie's Alpine Coaster 600 Timber Ridge Drive, Grafton, IL 62037

"What an awesome experience for these Texans. Grafton is always a great place to visit but Aerie's adds FUN and excitement to the otherwise tranquil setting. 5 stars! Highly recommended for all ages to ride the Alpine coaster. Buy the 3 rides...well worth it and one just isn't enough. NO BRAKES! Enjoy!"

"Looking for a great time, look no farther. This was definitely worth the money. You have to take the Sky-lift up the hill, so you get to enjoy beautiful view of the surrounding area."

"What a cool place!! Great for adults and kids alike. You can either use the gondolas or the ski lift to go up to the top. From there you get on the Alpine Coaster. Bonus, they film you on the way down. You watch a short video on instructions and you are seatbelts in. You have your own camera on top of the coaster? The fall colors were brilliant to do this. Adding a video"

"Absolutely loved the Alpine Coaster. I appreciated that they had a camera built in so I didn't have to use my GoPro. Was a little disappointed that it only gives you about a minute of the footage but still worth the $10.00. I took a star away BC I HATED being forced to ride the Skyway Tour aka (ski lift). I didn't enjoy it at all and ended up walking back down afterwards instead of riding it again. PS there was ample parking up above so there really is no logical reason other than greed to force any of their customers to use the lift. I would have happily paid to park instead."

"We absolutely loved it. My daughter and I went 3 times back to back. She was a little scared the first time, but worked up her courage and went full speed by the 3rd time. I will say the gondola ride up was so so slow and does cost and there’s no way up other than walking. Way slower than others I’ve ridden in Canada. It’s is required to get to the top. Once you’re up the coaster brings you back to the start so you don’t have to ride the gondola back up 3 times! Also since you’re still reading. There’s a trail past the cabins that has a sign that says “Lookout Point” or something to that effect. It’s not a long hike and there’s an oversized ring toss, tire swing, regular sings etc along the way and at the end of the trail. It was fun."
