Plan on 2-3 hours to hit all the major attractions without feeling rushed. The 2-hour wristband gives you enough time to try everything and go back for seconds on favorites.

Is Rowdy Bear's Snowpark good for kids?

Absolutely - kids 8 and up can ride most attractions independently. Younger kids love the snow pile playground area and can tube with adults. The points-for-prizes system keeps them engaged between rides.

Yes, parking is completely free and there's plenty of it. The lot is right off the Parkway next to The Local Goat Restaurant, so you can't miss it.

Does Rowdy Bear's run in bad weather?

Most activities run rain or shine, but the coasters occasionally shut down for safety during storms. We've never had our entire visit cancelled, though tubing in light rain is actually pretty fun.

What makes the tubing hill special at Rowdy Bear's?

It's the longest outdoor tubing hill in Tennessee at 500 feet with an 11-lane setup and magic carpet lifts. Real snow in winter, artificial year-round, and the speed is genuinely thrilling for all ages.

About Rowdy Bear's Smoky Mountain Snowpark

Looking for year-round snow tubing in the heart of Pigeon Forge? Rowdy Bear's Smoky Mountain Snowpark delivers serious thrills with Tennessee's largest outdoor tubing hill, featuring 500 feet of downhill excitement across 11 lanes. The magic carpet lifts make getting back to the top effortless, so you can maximize your riding time.

Beyond tubing, the park packs in multiple attractions that keep families entertained for hours. The alpine flyer coaster combines a zipline-style ride with target shooting, while the power coaster lets you control your own speed as you zoom through the course. Axe throwing adds another layer of competitive fun for older visitors.

Kids especially love the points system - every activity earns rewards redeemable for toys and treats. Sugar Bears Café offers a welcome break with 16 flavors of homemade ice cream and warming hot chocolate perfect for cool mountain evenings.

While tubing runs year-round on synthetic surfaces, the real snow season starting in November transforms the park into a genuine winter wonderland. Expect to spend around $42+ per person for full access to attractions, though prices aren't posted online - it's wise to call ahead for current rates.

The staff consistently receives praise for their attentive service, often remembering return visitors by name. For the best value and shortest wait times, visit on weekdays and consider the one-hour unlimited pass. The single ticket counter can get backed up during peak seasons, so arrive early or late afternoon for a smoother experience.

Pro tip: Bring socks and closed-toe shoes - they're required for tubing and most attractions.
