$10 per tube per hour
Rough cost for a family of four: about $40.00 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.
Purgatory Resort near Durango runs a three-lane tubing hill described in our record as high-speed. Pricing is unusual: $10 per tube per hour, so you pay by the tube and hour rather than a flat session ticket. That makes a short outing inexpensive, though the total grows if you stay for several hours.
Hours in the record are noon to 7 PM daily, and the 2025-26 season began November 28, 2025, with the resort listing operations through April or May 2026. Confirm the 2026-27 schedule before planning. The record doesn’t say whether reservations are needed, so check the resort’s page.
Height rules split by age. Children ages 3 to 5 need to be at least 36 inches and ride with an adult guardian, and riders ages 6 and up need to be 42 inches to ride solo. The lift type in our record is a walk-up, so expect to climb back up between runs.
What sets Purgatory apart is the rest of the menu: snowcat tours, a mountain coaster and snowshoe tours share the resort, which makes it easy to fill a family day. See how to choose a tubing park for what to compare.
No other tubing park in our data is close. Monarch Mountain Tubing Park is about 104 miles away.
The hill runs noon to 7 PM daily in our record, which began November 28, 2025 for the 2025-26 season. That record shows the 2025-26 season opened November 28, so confirm 2026-27 dates.
Pricing is per tube per hour, so you choose the length; add time if you combine it with the mountain coaster or a snowcat tour.
Anyone who wants a lift, since the record lists a walk-up return, or a large group; the hill has just 3 lanes.
