Annual Events

Valentine's Date Night at Rush Mountain photo

Love On All Levels Valentines Event

 Show your special someone how much you care with a unique evening of fun and romance.

This amazing once a year opportunity is typically held the weekend prior to Valentine’s Day.  You begin your night with a stroll through the beauty of a candlelit cave. We will serve refreshments, including local beer and wine paired with perfect hors d’oeuvres and live music. Each couple will have the opportunity to renew their vows under the stalactites at our famous Wedding Chapel inside the cave. Next, step outside and experience the excitement of flying through the night sky hand-in-hand on our Soaring Eagle Zipline. Feel the elation of the first 7D interactive ride/theatre in North America. Finally, enjoy the thrill of the Rushmore Mountain coaster by moonlight. This will be a night you will never forget.

The Haunting

In October, things get really spooky during the annual Haunting of Keystone.  In 2024 Rush Mountain, featured “The VOID” deep within Rushmore Cave! Stay tuned for what’s brewing for the 2025 event.  One thing is for sure, it is always a hauntingly good time, and not your average Haunted House!

The 2024 Haunting of Keystone included haunts at Rush Mountain Adventure Park, inside Rushmore Cave, at Big Thunder Gold Mine,  and at the Old Keystone Schoolhouse Museum.

In addition, Rush Mountain Adventure Park also offers the rare opportunity for night rides on the Soaring “Evil” zipline, Rushmore Mountain Coaster, and Gunslinger 7D Interactive Ride. There is a special price to do all 3 rides, which is separate from the Haunting of Keystone.
