I went back inside to get ready for the wind and blowing snow. The center has a lot of information on the area and the view of the Sierra from 11,000 feet is breathtaking. I chose to brave the wind and ski down. However, you can take the gondola back down if you're not up for skiing. I took the... More

With touch-screen interpretative computers, videos rolling, sometimes volunteer or staff docents, maps and about a dozen little viewing tubes spotting specific mountain peaks, visiting the Top Center is always a great time.

This is a must do. The views from the top are breath taking. The museum at the top is just ok, but the Gondola ride up and the views are well worth the money. It was a lot of fun for our kids they had a great time on the ride up and looking down the mountain. Going up was... More

Take a look at the other peaks and get a great panorama of the whole area! Buy a hot chocolate and enjoy the view!

Not a lot of views like up there! Summer or winter it doesn't matter. A must see in Mammoth. Everything from the thigh desert to the Sierra range.

Enjoyed the gondala ride,but the kids were scared. Great view of variouse mountains and lakes. If you want to eat up there make sure to buy the combo ticket for ride and lunch, it is expensive if you buy food seperatly. Kids ride free!

Well worth the cost of a gondola ride, nice lunch on top in the summer and interesting history of the area, ski off in the winter if you're good, hike or mountain bike off in the summer if your knees can handle it
