Top 4 Reasons to Go Summer Tubing at Ober Gatlinburg
Ober Gatlinburg recently added tubing to their lineup of attractions you can enjoy during the summer months! This activity is very similar to snow tubing without all of the snow and the cold weather! All of the 4 tubing lanes are made of a synthetic material that is slippery, allowing you to experience the sensation of being on layers of compact show! Here are the top 4 reasons to go summer tubing at Ober Gatlinburg:
1. Family Friendly
The summer tubing attraction at Ober Gatlinburg is an activity everyone in your family will love! Your kids will have a blast riding down the mountain in their own tube, and they will want to ride again and again! Riders must be at least 4 years old to participate, and children ages 4 to 6 must ride in a tube with an adult. There is no hill climbing involved because the Magic Carpet will take you and your tube back up the mountain after each of your trips down the tubing hill!
2. Unique Activity
While summer tubing has been a popular activity for years in Europe and other parts of the world, it is brand new to the Smoky Mountains! This means you can be one of the first guests to experience this unique activity at Ober Gatlinburg! Be sure to have your family members take plenty of pictures of you in action on the snow tubing hill to show your friends back home!
3. Affordable Ticket Prices
The ticket prices are affordable at Ober Gatlinburg! There are several ticket options available, and the prices depend on the number of runs you want to take down the tubing hill. You can also purchase a special Tubing and Coaster Combo that includes 6 runs on the snow tubing hill and one ride on the Tennessee Flyer Mountain Coaster.
4. Convenient Operating Hours
The summer tubing runs at Ober Gatlinburg are open daily throughout the summer season and the hours are generally from 10 am to 9 pm. These long operating hours allow you to easily schedule a visit at a time that is convenient for you!
