My son and I brought his two children tubing who are 6 and 4. We thought that they would be scared but they absolutely loved it! The amusing thing was that my son and I each went down once and decided not to do it again. I am almost 60. He was getting ready to leave for a training and was worried he might get hurt. You go fast!!! The staff were very friendly and helpful. One helpful hint if you as the parent doesn't want to go tubing is to have one adult at the top and one adult on the bottom to help the kids get on and off. They are towed up the hill on their tubes which they thought was the coolest thing.
