Fenelon Place Elevator Company

Hailed as the world's shortest, steepest railroad ride, the Fenelon Place Elevator Company cars elevate passengers 189 feet from Fourth Street to Fenelon Place. This pet-friendly Dubuque, IA attraction brings you and Fido to the top for a panoramic view of the historic Dubuque business district, the Mississippi River and three states. The cars are very small, so only small lap dogs are welcome to join their humans. Check their website for current one-way and round-trip fees. Visit Website

Short but sweet
Cheap little side stop that’s neat to experience, and get some pretty views of the Mississippi with your pup. Train car is a little awkward and might be spooky for your pup as well with a small gap to step over to enter the car.

Fun attraction with a great view
Unique ride in the elevator. Had harnesses on my dogs and a tight grip as one side of the elevator does not shut during ride, elevator floor is not flat, and floor is slick for dog paws. Deck at top with great view of city and Mississippi River. Also a historic neighborhood to walk around in. Would recommend.

Great Fun!!
The staff was very welcoming of our dogs. Our Pyrenees really enjoyed the ride but our Border Collies were a little nervous.

Great way to go downtown
Park up on the hill, they have treats for ya dogs. We rode down and walked around a while. Gentleman operating lift had a bowl of water ready when we got back!
