Adventure Center - Mammoth Lakes, California

A good way to keep the kids busy while the adults bomb the runs. Or add on an unadvertised kids day pass for $5 and do both for less. Purchase online a week in advance for additional discount. Must be activated on site for wristband and waiver.

Good experience overall, but lines can get long so arrive at opening. Busiest midday, but dies down mid-afternoon. We had the last hour and a half almost to ourselves with no lines. Even the additional mining center was decent after a discount with the adventure pass. One bag of dirt enough for two kids with plenty of sizable gems (or fossils or arrowheads - you choose) to share. Do this last after everything else closes as they leave the water on while staff pack up.

FYI We were told closed toed shoes, but kids have to have socks to do the bungee trampoline so be prepared. Same harness used for rock climb, zipline, and ropes course so save time and do these together to avoid repeated reharnessing.

Visiting with my daughter. Google Website says, “Open”. However, arrived from a 15mile drive to have a lady say, we’re Closed… I understand, sometimes updating the google info slips through the cracks… But, being rude for no reason is a choice. When I was letting her know about the site, she repeatedly said,
“We’re closed, we’re closed, we’re closed…” Oct 23, 2024 at 1035am. Hospitality and kindness is everything with a business. Smh.

We attended end of July and the weather was amazing. Our little ones enjoyed the adventure center which also has a Zipline in the back. The Gondola is a must for all visitors, however make sure to to this first because they will close down early for any lighting or rain and you will not be able to get a refund and credit only.

Fantastic experience we purchased the day pass for our boys and due to bad weather the activities had to close. We received a day pass for the following day. The sales staff were friendly and professional. The activity staff on both days took such interest in the boys and supported them during the activities. Day pass is cost effective and recommended. (Please wear tennis shoes or boots - no sandals. We had to change shoes in the car and if you park down the road it can be time consuming).

We’ve always loved the kid’s adventure park, but this year they only offer day passes (instead of sessions for a couple of hours) so the price is double and they have less activities. And for the first time, we encountered a rude, sarcastic staff member. After 10 years of coming, we’ll be thinking twice about coming back again. So disappointed.

Incredibly expensive with terrible service. After just a few hours, the gondola went out of service due to anticipated weather that never occurred. Despite spending over $600 on bike rentals and gondola tickets (for just a few hours), there was no refund policy for the gondola. The service was extremely poor, and the personnel were rude!

We had the greatest experience here! The staff was friendly, supportive of the kids and always had their priority on safety. My son was very nervous and I was brought to tears at the support the staff provided him to work through the ropes course. This fun morning turned into a major confidence building moment for him that I know he will remember for a long time. Thank you Adventure Center!

Several words describe the experience. Frustrating. Expensive. Long lines. Understaffed. Our first day - we had bought a one ride ticket and after waiting forever in line, the park closed due to lightning. It never reopened and we couldn’t get a credit or refund. Second try, one month later. I asked about a credit for the unused ticket I still had but I received a response that I should have got a credit last time I was here and unable to use the ticket. Once again we waited in line for almost an hour for the ropes course. The belay to lower kids was not working properly causing more delays (stairs at the end would be a worthwhile investment). The employees then helped several kids get harnesses on at the same time and then placed the youngest kid first. Of course, after getting all the way to the start of the course, that kid refuses to go across causing the kids to have to come back down the stairs again to allow the child to be removed from the course. I’m glad my kid finally had the opportunity to have fun, but be prepared to bring a lot of patience with you.
