Skyline Gondola & Luge Queenstown

The Skyline Gondola & Luge is a 2-4 hour activity that's suitable for kids aged 3 and above. The gondola ride up Bob's Peak offers breathtaking views of Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu, and the luge ride down is a thrilling experience for kids and adults alike.

Kids can ride the luge solo from age 3, and our little ones loved the freedom of racing down the track. The restaurant at the top is also good value for lunch, with a range of kid-friendly options.

However, be prepared for some crowds and queues, especially during peak season. The gondola can also be a bit scary for younger kids, so be sure to prepare them in advance.

At $50 per adult and $35 per child, the Skyline Gondola & Luge is a bit pricey, but we think it's worth it for the unique experience and stunning views.

However, if you're on a tight budget, consider visiting during the off-season or looking for package deals that include other activities.

To make the most of your visit, try to avoid peak season (December to February) and opt for a morning or late afternoon visit to avoid the crowds.

Also, be sure to book in advance to secure your spot, especially during peak season.

You can book the Skyline Gondola & Luge online or at the ticket office. Look out for package deals and discounts, especially for families or groups.

Some tips for saving money include booking a combo deal with other activities, or looking for special promotions and discounts on the official website.
