Ski Ward in Shrewsbury runs its winter TubaSlide on up to 12 lanes served by 2 lifts, with over 200 tubes on hand. Our record lists an 800-foot run with a 75-foot vertical drop, which makes it a longer slide than many local hills. The same property also has skiing and snowboarding, and it advertises summer tubing too.
Planning is where this park is strict. Riders must be at least 6 years old and 42 inches tall, and every member of your party has to be present when you buy or pick up tickets, so nobody can collect passes for a group that is still in the car. Weekend and holiday sessions last 2 hours and start at 10 AM, 12 PM and 2 PM. The official page also lists Thursday and Friday evening hours, and it does not currently book group parties. Refunds are not given for any reason, so watch the forecast before you pay.

See our guide to tubing reservations and sessions for how timed tickets work. Prices and dates change, so confirm on the park’s site before driving.
Weekend and holiday sessions run 2 hours starting at 10 AM, 12 PM and 2 PM; the official page also lists Thursday and Friday 4-8 PM hours. It currently shows the 2025-26 schedule, so confirm this season's dates first.
