What you get for the price

snow tubingskiingsnowboarding

$15 per person for 2-hour sessions; laser tubing special events $20

Rough cost for a family of four: about $60.00 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

Landslide Tubing Park at Detroit Mountain has 7 maintained runs, a magic carpet conveyor and an expanded tubing area. It is a lot of hill for a lakes-country town, and the record calls the runs fast.

Book ahead. Reservations are required, and tickets are time-stamped for 2-hour sessions listed at $15 per person. Riders must be at least 6 and 42 inches tall. The schedule is uneven, so read it closely: Monday 4-9pm, Thursday and Friday noon-9pm, Saturday 10am-9pm and Sunday 10am-6pm, with Tuesday and Wednesday closed. Friday nights bring laser tubing with strobing lights and music, listed at $20. A warming lodge sells hot cocoa and snacks.

Age 6 is a higher floor than at many parks, so check it against your youngest rider before you commit.

The closest alternative is Andes Tower Hills at about 61 miles, which lists age 4 as its minimum recommended age. Our night tubing list has other evening options. Confirm rates and hours on the park’s site before you drive.

How Detroit Mountain Recreation Area compares in Minnesota

We track 17 tubing hills in Minnesota. At $15 a head this one sits below the state median of $17, undercutting 6 of the 10 paid parks we track here.

It runs 7 lanes against a state average of about 7, 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 13 of the 17 parks we track in Minnesota had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as a prior season's until the park confirms it.
