What you get for the price

$39 Friday, $44 weekends and holidays; $19 Thursday Locals Night (official site, checked Sep 2026)

Rough cost for a family of four: about $156.00 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.

Our take

The Plunge is Wintergreen’s 10-lane tubing park with a conveyor lift. The resort describes it as taller than a ten-story building and longer than three football fields, with speeds of roughly 30 mph. Tubes carry one person each, and they may be hooked together when conditions allow.

Buying tickets is the main planning step. Tickets are sold online only, sessions are 75 minutes and frequently sell out, and every rider signs a waiver online. For 2026-27 the resort lists $19 on Thursday (Locals Night), $39 on Friday, and $44 on Saturday, Sunday and holidays. Confirm who qualifies for the Thursday rate. The season opens December 4, 2026.

The schedule is different from what our older record showed. The resort’s page lists sessions Thursday and Friday from 12 PM, Saturday from 9 AM and Sunday from 9 AM, closed Monday through Wednesday except for specific holidays. Thursday through Saturday sessions run into the evening, the last starting at 7:30 PM. Riders must be 6 or older and at least 42 inches tall.

Massanutten Resort is about 35 miles straight-line away and has 16 lanes for larger groups. Bryce Resort is about 62 miles away and admits kids at 36 inches.
