Our take

Seven Oaks Recreation is a small Iowa hill near Boone where tubing runs alongside skiing and snowboarding. The tubing side is four chutes served by a handle-tow surface lift, with 120 tubes on hand. Snowmaking builds the base, so the park typically opens around mid-December instead of waiting on natural snow.

Plan around the calendar. Tubing is listed Friday from 4 PM to 9 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 9 PM and Sunday from 10 AM to 8 PM, with longer hours on holidays, and hours shift with snow conditions. A ticket covers two hours with tube rental included. Prices are posted on a daily calendar on the park’s site, so check it before you drive.

The 42-inch minimum height was introduced for the 2025-2026 season and is the main filter. If your youngest rider is short of it, the trip will not work, and no lap-riding option is listed.

If you are coming from farther west, Cone Park in Sioux City is about 133 miles from here in a straight line, and it is worth comparing before you commit to the drive. For tube-day basics, see the what to wear guide.
