Rough cost for a family of four: about $184.00 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.
Hawksnest offers up to 30 lanes, and its own record tags it East Coast’s largest, with up to 30 lanes between 400 and 1,000 feet long across four terrain areas. The park is tubing-focused, uses manufactured snow and moves riders back uphill on conveyor-style lifts, so there’s no walking. Minimum age is 3.
Booking matters here. Reservations are required and sold online. The official page lists 2026-27 prices of $46 Monday to Thursday, $53 Friday, and $59 on Saturday, Sunday and holidays, and a weekday special that adds a second session the same day for $10. Sessions last 1 hour 45 minutes and start at 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., with a 6 p.m. slot Friday and Saturday. The park is closed Wednesdays outside holidays and on Christmas Day. It plans to open around Thanksgiving weekend, weather permitting, so check before traveling.

We track 3 tubing hills in North Carolina. At $46 a head this one sits above the state median of $42.
It runs 30 lanes against a state average of about 19, so it is a notably bigger operation than most of its neighbours — expect shorter waits on a busy day.
