Grandfather Mountain is very enjoyable. At $14/person it may be a slightly overpriced or at least you've seen it once and don't have to go back again. But it is very tourist friendly. If you have AAA it is a $2 discount off General Admission. One nice thing is if you bring a dog, at the admission gate, they give you free doggie snacks as part of their "Mile High Doggie Club." It was a neat little treat.

the drive to the top is the really scenic and you can stop at the small muesum. There are lots of vista points in between. The bridge is really kool :). the only thing i dont liked was the entry fees, it was little high as been expected. enjoy the trip

You "Otter be there"by Yahoo | 2005-09-22 00:32:06 |

Been there lots of times and always find new enjoyment! From the animals...my favorite is the cougar but the eagles are magnificent... to the swinging bridge, it is all a great experience! I hope everybody gets to go when a cloud has decended on the mountain and the visibility is about 5 feet! The view is wonderful when it is clear and sunny, but the feelings on the bridge in a cloud is mind-boggling!

Grandfather mountain is absolutely gorgeous. The mile high swinging bridge was a blast. I'll definitely be going back. The people were friendly and the atmosphere was wonderful.
