River Riders delivers consistently fun experiences for families and groups, with snow tubing being a major draw. Guests rave about the friendly, attentive staff who create a welcoming atmosphere and take safety seriously. The operation runs smoothly even during busy times, with clean facilities, quick-moving lines, and well-organized check-in. People love the extra touches like fire pit rentals for roasting s'mores and hot chocolate to warm up between runs. The main thing to know is that sessions run 1.5 hours, and the magic carpet lift moves slowly, which means you'll typically fit in 5-6 runs per session. Some visitors wish for longer sessions given this timing, but most still leave happy. There are hills for different skill levels, so everyone from young kids to adults can participate. The disco tubing sessions get special mention for being a blast. While the concessions are convenient, bringing your own snacks in a thermos is a smart move if you rent a fire pit.
Fun and well organized snow tubbing place, we went to the 530pm disco session and had a lot of fun!
