My kids, age 7 and 9 spent an hour on the tube hill. On every ride down, they had the biggest smiles I've ever seen on them. Enough said!
Our kids are 10, 13, & 14 and while we enjoyed tubing a few times... an hour and $125 was much longer and more than it was fun for. We didn't do the snowshoeing trails because... it's a $5 rental per person and $7 entrance fee at the state parks.
$90 for an hour with one adult and two children. As we don't live near snow we decided to spend the big $ and give it a go. The adult and one child liked it. The other child found that dragging the tube from the end of the run all the way to the beginning of the carpet was just too much for her. She gave up after one run. The office gave us back 2/3 of the cost of her booking. Considering most the time you are there you are on the carpet, waiting at the top for your turn to go down or dragging the tube back to the carpet, $30 for an hour (the boys had only 4 runs in that time) was a bit steep. Maybe $30 for two hours would be better?AND, anyone wanting to take photos/video is kept well away from the runs :( It would have been nice to be able to watch/share/record this once in a lifetime experience for our family. But as the fences were near the base hut and they only have a view of the hike from the end of the runs to the base of the carpet, we couldn't see a thing. Disappointing.
$90 for 1 hour of tubing with me and two kids (6 & 8 year olds) is a bit high considering you spend most of your time pulling the kids from the bottom up to the start of the magic carpet. For that money the carpet should pick you up where the run ends. It's a good workout but don't expect to not have to put some effort into getting back up the hill.
We came here while on vacation in Denver the other weekend and it was a blast. We didn't get any snow this year at home so we headed to the mountains. It was a bit busy but we did make reservations ahead of time. It was very easy to do on the parks website. Yes it was a bit expensive $25.00 for the 1st hour then $10 per hour after that. But it was so fun. It was the highlight of our trip. I was exhausted after 2hr so were the kids but the thrill of going down the 1200 foot hill was just unbelievable.
Automatic lift to the top you will enjoy this tubing adventure. Not cheap but fun. Nice lounge with pay lockers for your valuables.
About 20 minutes past keystone. 25 per person , which is a good bit cheaper than Keystone, and worth every penny.
The trails were well groomed and the price of equipment a good deal for seniors. I just wish I had a place like this to cross country in NC. I guess it could be the lack of snow.
Great service and activities. Snow Tubing was extremely fun and safe. The tubes are well cared for and safe to use. Dinner Sleigh Ride was excellent. Ivan our tour guide was pleasant and knowledgable. Dinner was hearty and tasty. Mr. David Peel was the entertainer for the evening. He sang classic country songs and a few of his own. Great evening for family and couples. Great value for your money. Entire time spent was approximately 2 hours. Cross country skiing classes are also available.
We had a great evening of fun tubing here. The kids had a fantastic time. Make sure to make a reservation.
