What you get for the price

snow tubing

Per person, 90-minute session

Rough cost for a family of four: about $144.00 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

Yawgoo Valley in Exeter is a Rhode Island hill with eight lanes served by a tow rope, and its rules are strict in a way that helps you plan. Tickets are sold only online, each session is capped at 60 tickets, and sessions start on time without proration if you show up late.

Sessions run weekends at 10 AM, 12 PM and 2 PM, weather permitting, for 90 minutes each. Our record lists tickets from $36 per person, which you should treat as a starting point and confirm when you book. Riders must be at least 42 inches tall, and every rider needs a tube of their own because doubling up is banned. Guests under 18 need parental consent by electronic signature.

The official page says the 2026 season closed on March 7, and our record expects the next one to open around December 2026. Watch yawgoo.com for the date.

The capped crowd and machine-groomed hill are the appeal here. The nearest alternatives are far: Blue Hills Ski Area is about 52 miles away and Ski Ward about 54 miles. The Rhode Island page has the full local list.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Book the 10 AM session on a weekend; sessions run at 10 AM, 12 PM and 2 PM and start on time with no prorating for late arrivals.

How long to budget

One 90-minute session, arriving before the start time since sessions aren't prorated.

Crowds

The official page limits each session to 60 tickets.

What to bring

  • Waterproof gloves for the tow rope
  • A printed or saved copy of your online ticket

Who it suits

Good for

  • Planners happy to book online in advance
  • Riders 42 inches and taller who want an 8-lane tow-rope hill
  • Families who want a capped crowd of 60 tickets per session

Skip it if

You want to decide the same day, ride a weekday, or double up on a tube; tickets are online only, sessions are on weekends, and each rider needs their own tube.

Worth pairing with

Blue Hills Ski Area in Canton, MA is about 52 miles away and Ski Ward about 54 miles, so neither is a same-day swap.
