Per person for 2 hours of tubing
Rough cost for a family of four: about $80.00 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.
Thrill Hills is a ski and tubing area in the Sheyenne River Valley near Fort Ransom, North Dakota. It has dedicated tubing lanes and pulls riders uphill with a tow rope. Tubing is one of three activities listed, alongside skiing and snowboarding.
What sets it apart is the price and the time: tubing is listed at $20 per person for 2 hours. Hours are variable and depend on snow, so the park asks you to check its website for the daily schedule instead of assuming. Reservations are recommended, and the park says buying tickets online is how you guarantee a spot, particularly on weekends and holidays. Before driving, check the weather page too, since a rural hill lives and dies by snow cover.
Tow ropes ask a bit more of riders than conveyors, so waterproof gloves with good grip are worth packing. The closest other parks in our data are Detroit Mountain Recreation Area, about 104 miles away, and Andes Tower Hills, about 115 miles. See the cheap tubing list for comparable prices.
