Reasons to Go Tubing in Pigeon Forge TN
1. There’s nothing else like it in town
You won’t find another tubing attraction quite like ours in the Smokies! You’ll ride up to the top of the hill on a magic carpet conveyor, preventing you from walking back up to the top every time. You can soar down the tubing lanes as many times as you want; the adrenaline will have your heart pumping. As the fastest and longest Pigeon Forge tubing experience, you won’t want to miss out!
2. Enjoy outdoor tubing year-round
Our outdoor tubing hill is open all year. You can experience the thrills of racing down the Slippery Slope no matter when you’re visiting the Smokies!
March–October: Tubing in Pigeon Forge TN during the warmer months isn’t a water ride, just pure speed and adrenaline! The Slippery Slope is also included in Rowdy Bear’s 1 and 2-Hour Unlimited Ride Wristbands.
November–February: We make our own snow (safe and edible) for the best snow tubing in Pigeon Forge TN! Advanced reservations are highly recommended; will-call tickets at the ticket counter usually sell out as time slots fill up quickly. Each session is 90 minutes, and snow tubing is NOT included in the Unlimited Ride Wristband.
3. Try several different ways to ride
Another cool thing about the Slippery Slope is that you can race side-by-side across several tubing lanes! Once you try soaring down the hill a few times on your own, get your group together for a big race to the bottom.
For kids who can’t ride solo, an adult can attach their tubes together, which is also a ton of fun!
4. Ride during the day or at night
Tubing during the daytime is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon, but at night, the chasing LED lights make our hill tubing in Pigeon Forge a completely different experience!
Our hours can change seasonally, but we are typically open until 10 PM most nights, sometimes even later on the weekends!
5. Experience beautiful mountain views.
Rowdy Bear’s FunPark is located on top of a ridge where you can enjoy incredible views of the Smokies! As you’re flying down the Slippery Slope, you’ll love seeing the mountains in all their splendor, especially during the fall foliage season. At night, the sparkling lights of the Pigeon Forge Parkway provide a special backdrop!
