Everything except our snow tubing is included, so you can fly down the summer tubing hill, go axe-throwing, ride the Avalanche Snow Coaster, and soar on the Ski Lift Shootout as many times as you want! Visitors especially love our summer tubing hill, which is the longest and fastest in Tennessee! You can even connect your tubes with your family and go down together, as well as by yourself. We also have a large playground for the little ones who are too small for our rides. Don’t forget to take a photo with our mascot, Rowdy, before you leave! He’s usually wandering around the park – you can’t miss him!

The whole family will be entertained for hours, and this attraction offers incredible value for everything that there is to do there! The Wild Stallion Coaster is a must-do since it’s one of the longest mountain coasters at over 8 minutes long! Plus it’s open day and night, so you can enjoy the views this ride provides anytime. You’ll definitely want to take the kids to meet all of the four-legged friends too! They have miniature horses, donkeys, cows, goats, and sheep!
