Annual passes $69 weekday, $89 any-day; day tickets available
AvalancheXpress in York is built more like a winter attraction than a ski hill. It has 10 tubing lanes on powered rope tows, ice skating and a Winter Village with dining and firepits, and the site also promotes what it calls the longest ice slide in the country. Night tubing is part of the evening schedule.
The hours are the practical draw. Our record lists Monday to Thursday 4 to 9pm, Friday 4 to 11pm, Saturday 10am to 11pm and Sunday 10am to 10pm, so a weeknight after work is realistic, which is not common at ski-hill parks. Reservations are listed as not required, and day tickets are sold. Annual passes are $69 for weekdays and $89 for any day. We could not load the official page in this research pass, so confirm prices and any age or height rules at avalanchexpress.com or 717-718-3770.
If you would rather book a specific time and get longer lanes, Iron Valley Tubing is about 31 miles away and requires reservations. To compare after-dark options statewide, see our best night tubing list.

We track 18 tubing hills in Pennsylvania. The park has not published a price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
It runs 10 lanes against a state average of about 15, so it is smaller than most of its neighbours, which can mean longer waits when it is busy.
One caveat worth repeating: this park had not published its current-season dates when we last checked, while 1 of the 18 parks we track in Pennsylvania had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as a prior season's until the park confirms it.
