Coca-Cola® Tube Hill at Winter Park Ski Resort
Located at the base of Winter Park Ski Resort, the Coca-Cola Tubing Hill is one of the most popular spots in the Winter Park area.
The park has four individual tubing lanes designed for all levels of thrill-seekers. With banked curves and an easy-to-use magic carpet lift (also known as a conveyor lift), riders of all ages can get up the hill with minimal effort. It’s perfect for families, and no experience is required. After a few rides, you can warm up with a cup of hot cocoa at the nearby Hill House, which serves snacks and beverages.
The Coca-Cola Tube Hill is open from late November through April, conditions permitting, and has both day and evening tubing. Pricing typically ranges between $44 and $59 per person, depending on the time of day and season.
You don’t need to bring your own tube because the park provides them for all riders.
Historic Fraser Tubing Hill​
Just a short drive from downtown Winter Park, the Historic Fraser Tubing Hill is another favorite among locals and visitors.
This family-owned tubing hill has been in operation since the 1970s, offering a classic snow tubing experience. With groomed lanes and an easy-to-use lift system, it’s perfect for families looking for a simple, fun day in the snow. Like the Coca-Cola Tubing Hill, Fraser also provides the tubes, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy.
Night tubing is available here as well, with the hill being lit up for evening fun. Prices are typically lower than at the resort, making it a budget-friendly option. Expect to pay around $25 per person for an hour of tubing. Groups and families can usually get discounts, making it a great value if you’re visiting with a crowd.
Colorado Adventure Park
For those seeking an adrenaline rush, Colorado Adventure Park has the fastest tubing lanes in the Winter Park area. Located near Fraser, this park has a variety of tubing experiences, from mild to wild, and even offers double tubing options if you want to ride with a buddy.
Colorado Adventure Park is known for its well-maintained lanes and magic carpet lift, which makes the uphill trek a breeze. They also have snow scoots, a mini snowmobile experience perfect for younger visitors who want to try something new.
Prices range from $28 to $45, depending on the session length. And like other tubing spots, tubes are provided on-site.
