What you get for the price

snow tubingskiingsnowboarding

$29 weekdays, $33 weekends and holidays (official site, checked Sep 2026)

Rough cost for a family of four: about $116.00 at the posted starting rate, before rentals, food, or parking. Many parks sell tubing by the hour or by a fixed session rather than a full-day pass — check the note above for exactly what that price buys.

Our take

Blue Hills Ski Area in Canton is the ski area closest to Boston, and its tubing uses a conveyor lift with 90-minute sessions. Hours on the official page run Monday to Wednesday 1 to 9 PM, Thursday and Friday 10 AM to 9 PM, Saturday 8:30 AM to 8 PM and Sunday 8:30 AM to 6 PM, with holiday hours matching Saturday.

Prices are listed at $29 per person on weekdays and $33 on weekends and holidays. Some listings show $20, so check the site for the current figure. Tickets are only good on the date of purchase, which means no buying ahead for a different day.

The rules are specific. Guests must be over 42 inches and able to ride independently, including loading tubes and using the conveyor without help. It is one person per tube in park-provided tubes, seated feet first. Ski boots are not permitted, snowboard boots are allowed, and loose scarves and long hair are not. Waivers are required, with a parent’s signature under 18.

If Blue Hills is not the right fit, Nashoba Valley in Littleton is about 28 miles away and has 18 lanes, and Ski Ward in Shrewsbury is about 29 miles. See the Boston tubing page for the wider list.

One caveat worth repeating: this park had not published its current-season dates when we last checked, while 0 of the 6 parks we track in Massachusetts had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as a prior season's until the park confirms it.
