It s reasonably fun, but if you want to go at a decent speed others will slow you down. The lift stopped working while we were there, while we were on it so that was pretty annoying. When we finally got to the top they had the track closed and we had to wait for that too.

It was unique, but I d rather do gokarts.

Did the luge. Most of the staff were nice and friendly but there was this one girl who seemed like she absolutely hated being there. Also some luge carts were slower and rattled more than others.

So much fun! The line up was a bit long but moved quite quickly. I reccomend purchasing the three runs, it give you a really good understanding of the lanes so you can just have fun. I was able to take my 3 year old niece with me in my cart, she loved it too!

Downhill Karting is fast, fun and you can race other friends! I went with my wife and 4 year old son and we could've stayed there until the place shut down it's that much fun! I would say, if you're looking to maximize your fun experience and you have a family, wait until your little one is at least 5 years of age. The reason behind this is there is a height restriction in effect where riders under a preset level need to ride in the Kart with the parent's. So my little guy rode with me! It was still a blast however he wanted to ride himself. Also, keep an eye on costs. One admission includes two runs. You ride a ski lift to the top and zip down; however the experience is over in a flash. You may need to add another activity here in the park if you're looking to spend more than an hour here. If money is no concern, have a blast and pay for multiple runs.

This is seriously one of my favourite things to do. Whether you're 6 or 60 years old, it's always a blast! We like to call it our version of real life Mario Kart. Wish it was a bit less expensive, but the family deals/multiple ride packages are better than nothing.

Hot tip: never just buy one ride! Minimum 3, because guaranteed you'll finish your one and want to go again asap!

Great way to enjoy a nice sunny summer day. Kid friendly. Even little toddlers can ride with their parents. My younger one loved it riding down the hill with me.

Speeds are as fast as you want it to be, or you can ride the brake and just cruise along the curving pathway down the hill.

Prices are a bit high, but you can find groupons online all the time.

Great family fun. The track is great for both kids and adults. The prices are reasonable and it's true when they say once is never enough so it's best if you buy 3 rides in advance. The staff is great and friendly and provide instructions for your first ride down.

It was the longest track in the world until 2018 in Yangsan, Kyungnam, before luge. Please check the opening hours on the homepage. I'm open until late in the summer. When I left, I was open until 9 o'clock. Take your helmet and buy a ticket. I want you to take a helmet like a barcode. There is one ticket, three tickets, and five tickets, and at least three tickets are charming. If you get one ticket, it seems like you are sick. During the summer, the sunshine was so hot during the ski lift. ~ UV sunscreen + sunglasses are essential!

Kids enjoy it alot, I personally got tired after the second ride. Having said that I will share my personal experience. I was coming down on one of the luge and it was bumping a lot. I told the guy at the end of the trail who collects and send it up again that the luge doesn't work properly and it should be checked . He said to me that he will look into it and the next thing which I saw was that it was going up the hill for someone else to ride. It means that though they make sure each luge brakes and handle is working, safety measures ends there.

At the end of the rides, I ordered pictures, don't waste money on them. As some cameras work and some don't so you won't get all the pictures. Secondly they send out pictures with the big nasty logo of the company , which to me seem unnecessary and too loud on the pictures. Had I known that I will be getting such pictures, I won't have spent money on it.

While I was talking to the customer service guy about this photographs business, I could hear him giggling. It seems that he enjoyed my displeasure about their logo. Bad customer service.

Update:

I contaced the company over email and they provided me with the pictures without the logo. I am thankful to them for doing that.

Super fun and the staff are great. Well, except for the ones at the check in. They told me it would be 30 mins to get on to a luge. but it was more like 30 mins to get up the hill, and then another 45 in the second line at the top to get into a luge! Wish the check in staff would actually tell you what to expect. They have radios too, so they can easily figure out wait times. Took my nieces here and they had a blast. The wait can be long when it's nice out, so give yourself half a day here at least.

I called ahead to check if it was ok to bring my dog and then once we arrived, I had the kids wait in the car so I could confirm once again that it was ok to keep my dog with me while the kids went karting. Both times I was told it was fine (we were visiting from out of town so keeping her at the hotel wasn't an option). For the hour and a half we were there, my dog either lay beside me or sniffed the grass - not bothering anyone and even posing for a couple of pictures. I was on the phone with my husband when an employee interrupted my phone call to tell me that the dog shouldn't be in the park. At the time the dog was laying on the ground. I told her that I checked twice and was told it was ok. She said for this time since it's not busy, she would allow it but the park policy was that dogs should be kept in the car. I told her that was dangerous and if I had been told the actual policy, I would just have chosen another activity. I thought that was the end of it, but a few minutes later, security came to ask us questions about the dog. They said that the employee had filed a report.. Even though the guard agreed that she was calm and well behaved, he confirmed that the policy was that dogs should be kept in vehicles. I couldn't believe a place would recommend such a dangerous practice! After us, another visitor was also asked to leave since he brought a dog (small dog that he was carrying). We were originally planning another visit before we left Calgary, but we can't go back since they are definitely not pet friendly. For anyone going with their pet, please don't leave your dog in the car as they suggest!!

Amazing place for having fun! When I first arrived to this place, it was simple and easy. Go to the booth buy tickets, put on helmet, and go up and have fun. Everything went smoothly and going down was very enjoyable. My only problem is how they teach new people when riding, I feel like it could be unsafe if someone is about to crash and they let go of the handle. Overall my experience was astonishingly amazing, you can also purchase pictures. 10/10 would definitely come again!

Staff was super friendly and they make sure to give you the best experience possible! Prices were a bit expensive but what can you do. I'm 18 and I had a ton of fun but this is also a great place to bring families and kids of all ages.

Fun ride down the hill! On our way up on the ski lift, we didn't think it'd be a fast, thrilling ride, but boy were we wrong! Great fun racing down the tracks with friends!!
We only did one round because we reached there end of the day, but we'd have gone for more if we had more time.
