Q&A
A: There isn't a specific weight limit, but each tram car can hold up to 80 people. Just be aware that the trams can sway a bit, so if you're really concerned, it might be good to check with the staff when you get there. They’re super helpful.
A: If the weather's bad, they’ll typically close the tram for safety. You can usually get a refund or reschedule your tickets, but it’s best to call them directly to confirm their refund policy. Just make sure to check the forecast before you go!
A: Try to go early in the morning or later in the afternoon. The midday crowds can get pretty intense, especially in the summer. If you can, check the tram's website for peak times before you plan your visit. It'll make a huge difference!

Thinking about gifting the Aerial Tramway tickets! Anyone done it?
I’m planning to surprise my brother with tickets for the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. He loves hiking and I think he'll enjoy the views from the top. I know the ride is about 10 minutes long, but what kind of stuff can we do once we’re up there? Is it worth it for a day trip?
My experience on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway was unreal!
Just got back from the tramway ride and wow, the views are insane! We went during the sunset and it was breathtaking. The tram rotates, so everyone gets to see the sights. Pro tip: wear layers! It gets chilly at the top. Best $28 I’ve spent! Thinking of going again—anyone got tips for my next visit?
