Grafton SkyTour at Aerie's Resort 3 West Clinton, Grafton, IL 62037

"Sky tour was awesome. My kids loved it. Nice slow ride to the top. Great views. At the top they have a amazing restaurant, coaster and zip line. Been to this town a lot and never got to do this. Well worth it."

"It was an amazing experience! We took some snacks and picnic stuff there, really enjoyed a whole afternoon with friends taking sky tour and riding slide and simply enjoying the view. It's less than one hour outside Saint Louis, worth it to go!"

"Absolutely stunning views of the Mississippi River and the surrounding area. Got to see lots of vultures flying around and migrating pelicans!! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always greeting you with a smile. We were one of the few groups at aeries today (random Wednesday in November) they slowed down the lift for easy exit. I would definitely recommend the open seats, the view is so much nicer and even on a chillier day the closed gondolas were too warm inside."

"Absolutely HATED being forced to ride this ski lift just to visit Aerie's Resort. I regretted getting on it the moment my feet left the ground lol. I did not enjoy one minute of this very long, slow ride. Spent the entire ride trying to sit perfectly still, not looking down or picturing any type of Final Destination movie that I've ever seen in my life haha. I was very thankful that at least it was safe and didn't have any issues the day we rode it. I didn't ride it back down and instead walked on the road. The young staff were friendly and sympathetic to my fear, letting several chairs go by to give me extra time to board. When we called to get more information, the woman on the phone never mentioned that there were days of the week that they do allow parking up there. She also made it sound like walking up the road wasn't allowed but we walked back down during our visit. Aerie's Resort needs to have a second option for transportation such as pay shuttles or paid parking. I would have happily paid to use any other option."

"Take the Ferry over, you won't regret it! Nice little river town, full of tourist attractions and a few restaurants to eat at. The SkyTour was a fun way to get to the top of the hill. The Gondolas were not open during our trip, only due to heat. Slow ride to the top with great view of Grafton and the River. Best view was on the he way down."
