Fall Color Chairlift Rides

Fall color enthusiasts flock to Rib Mountain State park to experience the best of Wausau in Autumn, and there’s no better spot to see the rich oranges and yellows than from one of the highest points in the entire state. And when you ride our chair, you’re free to get off at the top and walk around the State Park before hitching a ride back down.

Join us at the conclusion of your ride at the Historic Chalet Deck and The Snack Shack for some burgers, brats, fall draft selections, yummy sweets for the kids and more!  The retail shop will also be open with deep discounts up to 50% off select winter gear.

The Comet Express Chairlift can hold up to six people on a chair and will be operating at a slower pace so guests of all ages and abilities are able to fully take in the views. This lift is located outside our main base area and has safe loading and unloading ramps. Our Lift Operators have the ability to slow down or stop the lift should you need assistance embarking or unloading at either terminal.

NOTE: DUE TO HIGH DEMAND, THESE TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED IN ADVANCE!
