Treat the whole family to snow tubing all year long in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We’ve got your guide to downhill thrills at the Smokies’ best tubing attractions.
Outdoor Tubing at Gatlinburg’s Ober Mountain
Ober’s 350-foot tubing hill boasts a 50-foot drop that’s sure to get your heart pounding. Your tubing ticket includes unlimited rides during your session. After each ride, you don’t have to trudge uphill toting your tube! Just hop on the Magic Carpet, a conveyor belt that transports you back to the top of the hill in style.
Though it’s outdoors, Ober’s tubing hill stays open in rain, sleet, or shine. Kids 3 and older are welcome to join the fun, but children ages 3 to 5 must ride with an adult. What will this cost?
