90-minute session; $30 weekdays, $35 weekends/holidays; ages 3-4 $3 with paid adult
Rough cost for a family of four: about $120.00 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.
Ober Gatlinburg runs a single tubing lane served by a magic carpet, backed by snowmaking, at its resort at 1001 Parkway in Gatlinburg. One lane is small, so the draw is the setting and the reservation system, not the number of runs.
Sessions last 90 minutes and reservations are required. Our record lists $30 for weekday sessions and $35 for weekends and holidays, a minimum age of 6 and a minimum height of 42 inches. Those numbers come from a past season, so confirm on the official tubing page before you buy. The last listed season ran from mid-November to the end of March, and the record shows no night tubing.
Since reservations are required, book your slot before you plan the rest of the day.
Two larger parks sit close by. Rowdy Bear’s Smoky Mountain Snowpark is about 6 miles away with 11 lanes, and Pigeon Forge Snow about 6 miles with 12 indoor lanes. See the Tennessee page for more.

We track 3 tubing hills in Tennessee. At $30 a head this one sits right on the state median of $30.
It runs 1 lane against a state average of about 8, so it is smaller than most of its neighbours, which can mean longer waits when it is busy.
