Teleferic - Exciting experience. Cars can be crowded. Can be more fun without children or infants. Staff is helpful and organized. The rides to and from the tram station are punctual.

Weekend in Palm Springs - Tramway ride was lots of fun. The operators played 70s Disco and bouncy songs everyone sang along. Recommend booking tickets through trip advisor or Viator as they are far less expensive than direct via tramway site $35 vs $85 per ticket.

I will not purchase tickets again through your site nor will I recommend. - Drove 45 minutes to location and paid $15 for parking and we were told the ticket was not good until the next day. It did not give me an option to choose a day so I assumed it was valid for any day. This was very disappointing cause we lost money and time.
