Approximate price for 2-hour tubing session; check website for current rates
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.
Villa Olivia in Bartlett is a Chicago-area hill run by the Bartlett Park District, and its main selling point is dependability: the park lists 100% snowmaking, so tubing does not hinge on natural snowfall. Rides use rope tows, and the facility also has a chairlift for its ski side.
Tubing is a Thursday-to-Sunday operation in the listed 2025-26 window, December 19 to March 1, weather permitting. Hours are Thursday 5 to 9 PM, Friday 5 to 10 PM, Saturday 9 AM to 10 PM and Sunday 9 AM to 8 PM, so there are night sessions every open day. Each ticket is a 2-hour block with unlimited riding, listed at about $20.
The park’s own page says tubing here is popular and sells out, and it encourages online reservations. Treat that as a requirement in practice: book your slot before you plan the day around it. Height and age minimums are not in our record, so check those when you book.
