What you get for the price

snow tubingice skating

$18.99 for 12 runs; tickets must be purchased online in advance

Rough cost for a family of four: about $75.96 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.

Our take

The Gaylord Texan’s tubing is a holiday attraction called Snow Flow Mountain, and it is indoors with real snow, so there is no weather to plan around. Our record lists 6 lanes, a 42-inch minimum height and a season running from November 13, 2026 to January 2, 2027.

The pricing is unusual. Instead of timed sessions, our record lists $18.99 for 12 runs, and tickets must be bought online in advance, so there is no walking up on the day. The record lists ice skating alongside tubing. Confirm the current ticket price and time slots on the resort’s ticket site before you go, since holiday pricing can change.

The record does not list snowmaking, and the resort’s tags describe it as real snow in an indoor setting. Treat it as a short seasonal ride rather than a full-day tubing park.

Distances are long. LifeShare WinterFest in Oklahoma City and Santa’s Wonderland are both about 175 miles away, so most visitors will treat this as the local option. The tubing in the South guide covers what to expect from warm-climate parks.
