A weekends-only Kalamazoo hill where a $20 cash-only combo covers tubing and toboggan runs, for kids as young as 3.

$20 combo ticket (toboggan runs and tubing hill all-day access), cash only
Rough cost for a family of four: about $80.00 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.
Echo Valley Winter Sports Park in Kalamazoo pairs an expanded tubing hill with eight adjacent toboggan tracks, and one $20 combo ticket buys all-day access to both. Our record lists six lanes with a tow rope return, two tube sizes, and ages 3 and up, which suits families with a wide spread of kid ages. It also lists a paved, heated walking surface near the hill.
The schedule is narrow: Saturdays and Sundays, from mid-December through mid-March. Our record lists no snowmaking, so a thin winter can mean a short season, and there is no night tubing. Payment is cash only, so stop at an ATM before you arrive. The record does not list a height minimum, session length or reservation rule; confirm those before you drive, and check whether the toboggan runs have their own limits, since the record cites speeds above 60 mph on them.
Compared with a resort hill, this is a small local operation with a low ticket price and few frills, and the toboggan tracks are the differentiator.
If you would like another western Michigan option, Timber Ridge Ski Area is about 27 miles straight-line, and Five Pines Ministries about 34 miles. Our best young kids list has more low-age options.

We track 16 tubing hills in Michigan. At $20 a head this one sits above the state median of $17, undercutting 1 of the 6 paid parks we track here.
It runs 6 lanes against a state average of about 6, 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 1 of the 16 parks we track in Michigan had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as a prior season's until the park confirms it.
