Rough cost for a family of four: about $140.00 at the posted starting rate, before rentals, food, or parking. Many parks sell tubing by the hour or by a fixed session rather than a full-day pass — check the note above for exactly what that price buys.
Bear Creek Mountain Resort in the Lehigh Valley runs 10 tubing lanes with a magic carpet lift, Thursday through Sunday. The listed schedule is Thursday and Friday 1:30 to 4pm and 5 to 7:30pm, and Saturday and Sunday in four blocks from 10am to 8pm, so the park works in short timed sessions rather than one long day.
Rules are stricter than at some rivals. Riders must be at least 6, at least 42 inches tall, and no more than 250 pounds. Pricing varies by session: $35 on Thursday and early Friday, $44 Friday evening, $42 for weekend and holiday mornings, and $45 for weekend and holiday afternoons and evenings. Reservations are listed as not required, but timed blocks make it wise to call 610-682-7100 first. One more caution: our record notes a site closure for the 2025-26 season, and the resort homepage we checked didn’t give tubing details, so confirm that it is running before you plan around it.
Blue Mountain is about 11 miles away with far more lanes, though it requires reservations. For general session logistics, see our guide to tubing reservations and sessions.
Thursday and early Friday sessions are the cheapest at $35; Saturday and Sunday run four sessions, with the latest at 6pm.
Sessions run about 1.5 to 2 hours, per the listed time blocks; arrive early and confirm.
Your group includes riders under age 6 or 42 inches, or over 250 pounds, all of which fall outside the listed limits. Also confirm the park is open, since a closure was noted for 2025-26.
Blue Mountain Resort in Palmerton is the closest alternative at about 11 miles, with 46 lanes and required reservations.
Age 6 or older, at least 42 inches, and a 250-pound maximum, per the resort.
Listed at $35 Thursday and early Friday, $44 Friday evening, $42 Saturday, Sunday and holiday mornings, and $45 for weekend and holiday afternoons and evenings.

We track 18 tubing hills in Pennsylvania. At $35 a head this one sits right on the state median of $35.
It runs 10 lanes against a state average of about 15, so it is smaller than most of its neighbours, which can mean longer waits when it is busy.
One caveat worth repeating: this park had not published its current-season dates when we last checked, while 1 of the 18 parks we track in Pennsylvania had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as a prior season's until the park confirms it.
