Boise's mountain tubing hill: 800-foot runs, a conveyor lift, and five fixed 90-minute slots that need booking ahead.

90-minute tubing session
Rough cost for a family of four: about $96.00 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.
Bogus Basin’s tubing hill is the Boise-area option: an 800-foot run with a conveyor lift that carries you back to the top, so there is no rope to hold. It is listed as a winter activity on the ski area’s site.
Sessions last 90 minutes. The official page lists five daily start times: 9 AM, 10:30 AM, 12 PM, 1:30 PM and 3 PM, at $24 per session at the time of writing (check current rates). Booking is done online in advance, and the park notes it does not refund tickets unless the hill cannot operate.
Rules are worth reading before you leave home. Riders must be at least 38 inches tall, everyone gets one tube (no doubling up), only the park’s tubes are allowed, and rigid-soled boots are prohibited. Tickets have to be visible on your outerwear.
Some listings show weekends and holidays only, at $15, with no reservations. The official page says daily, $24 and advance booking, so verify the open days for your date. If Boise is not convenient, Brundage Mountain is about 86 miles away.
Pick from the five daily slots, 9 AM to 3 PM, and book ahead. Confirm open days first, since sources differ.
One 90-minute session, plus about 20 minutes for tickets, boots and tubes.
You want to decide on the day: the official page says advance online booking is required. Also skip if you weigh over 300 pounds (the per-tube limit) or plan to share a tube.
Brundage Mountain near McCall is the closest alternative at about 86 miles straight-line, and it offers lit night tubing on Friday to Sunday.
The official page says online advance booking is required, and sessions often fill. Some listings say otherwise, so treat the park's page as the answer.
The height minimum is 38 inches, and the weight maximum is 300 pounds per tube.

We track 6 tubing hills in Idaho. At $24 a head this one sits right on the state median of $24, undercutting 1 of the 3 paid parks we track here.
It runs 1 lane against a state average of about 3, so it is broadly typical for the state.
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 Idaho had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as a prior season's until the park confirms it.
