Not everyone who visits the mountains wants to strap on skis or a snowboard, and that’s perfectly fine. Winter Park, Colorado, may be a skier’s paradise, but it’s also home to another kind of winter adventure that’s just as thrilling as snow tubing. At Colorado Adventure Park, we’ve created an experience that lets everyone enjoy the snow without the learning curve or equipment hassle. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or simply looking for something new to try, tubing offers all the excitement of winter sports with none of the stress.
The Joy of Simplicity
One of the best parts of snow tubing is how easy it is to get started. There’s no need for lessons, rentals, or balancing acts. You don’t have to spend hours figuring out technique or worry about catching an edge. You simply grab your tube, hop on the lift, and glide down our smooth, groomed lanes surrounded by mountain views.
For guests visiting Winter Park for the first time, tubing is a perfect way to dive into the winter experience without committing to a full day on skis. Families often tell us that tubing at Colorado Adventure Park becomes the highlight of their trip because everyone can participate, from young children to grandparents. It’s approachable, affordable, and endlessly fun.
The Colorado Adventure Park Difference
Located just minutes from downtown Winter Park, Colorado Adventure Park is the largest and most exciting tubing destination in Grand County. Our multiple lanes are groomed daily and designed to give guests a range of experiences, from gentle, easy slides to fast, thrilling runs that bring out your inner kid. The park’s magic carpet lift carries riders and tubes effortlessly back to the top, so you can save your energy for the fun part: the ride down.
We offer both single and double tubes, making it easy for families to ride together. Helmets are required for riders under 18 and available for everyone. Our friendly staff is always nearby to help, answer questions, and make sure your time on the hill is as safe as it is enjoyable.

Perfect for Families and Groups
Skiing can be an intense, all-day commitment, but tubing fits naturally into any itinerary. You can easily spend a few hours at Colorado Adventure Park and still have time for lunch, shopping, or sightseeing in Winter Park. It’s a great way to break up the day for families with kids who may tire of skiing early or for groups with mixed skill levels.
At our park, everyone can go at their own pace. Younger children often start on slower lanes, while older riders can tackle the steeper ones. Parents appreciate the open visibility and safety focus, knowing that kids can have fun while staying in sight. The shared laughter and excitement at the bottom of each run bring families closer together, something that can get lost when everyone is spread out on the ski slopes.
A Great Option for Rest Days
Even the most dedicated skiers and snowboarders need a break from the slopes. Tubing is a fun, low-effort alternative that lets you stay outdoors and active without taxing your legs. Many guests visit Colorado Adventure Park as part of their “rest day” itinerary, trading ski boots for snow boots and spending an afternoon sliding, laughing, and relaxing in the sun.
Because tubing requires no lessons or special gear, it’s also ideal for non-skiers who still want to join in on the winter fun. Friends or family members who might otherwise sit out the ski trip can feel included, experiencing the same snowy thrill in a way that’s accessible to everyone.

Colorado Adventure Park is designed for simplicity. We’re located just a few minutes from Winter Park Resort and downtown Fraser, with free parking and easy access from Highway 40. Once you arrive, our team helps get you checked in quickly so you can spend more time on the hill and less time waiting.
We maintain our lanes throughout the day to ensure smooth, consistent rides. The layout of the park makes it easy to find your group, take photos, and enjoy the day together. When it’s time for a break, you can warm up by our firepits or inside the lodge with a cup of hot chocolate and a snack. Everything about the park is built to make your experience comfortable and carefree.
