Snow Tubing Near the Tri-State Without Any Real Snow

Missing those chilly winter days and giant piles of snow for sledding? Good news. There’s a place just a road trip away where you can go snow tubing in the middle of warm weather, and no real snow is required.

With gas prices making long vacations tougher for many families, more people are choosing quick getaways closer to home. About six hours from Evansville, Branson remains a favorite family destination, and Wolf Mountain offers a cool twist on summer fun.

What to Expect at Wolf Mountain

The tubing hill stretches 400 feet long and 60 feet wide, with room for up to eight tubes to race downhill at the same time. That means big thrills, fast runs, and plenty of laughs for kids and adults alike.

How Snow Tubing Works Without Snow

Wolf Mountain uses a special material called Snowflex. According to the attraction, it is a snow substitute designed specifically for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing. A misting system keeps the surface slick and speedy, so you still get that fast downhill rush without freezing temperatures.

Best of all, because it doesn’t rely on natural snow, the tubing hill stays open year-round.

More Adventures in the Ozarks

If tubing is only the beginning, Wolf Mountain also offers zipline courses through the Ozark Mountains along with a 100-foot bungee free-fall attraction for anyone feeling extra brave. Yikes!

Plan Your Branson Getaway

If your family is craving a little adventure without a cross-country drive, this might be the perfect weekend escape.
