Rowdy Bear is home to Tennessee’s first, fastest, and longest year-round Outdoor Tubing Hill. This Tubing Hill is over 500 feet in length with a 70-foot drop and reaches speeds over 35mph. Guests can tube single or connect two tubes for an amazing, adventurous experience. Once you’re at the top, take a moment to take in the beautiful views of Pigeon Forge and the Great Smoky Mountains. Guests can choose any color tube they like and make their way to the magic carpet conveyor. This conveyor takes Rowdy guests to the top of the Ridge so no hiking is involved. This tubing hill is not a water ride! No worries, you’re always dressed appropriately to ride.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT ROWDY BEAR?
Rowdy Bear’s Smoky Mountain Snow Park is an all-year-round amusement park– we offer more than just snow tubing! While our snow tubing lanes are the most popular activity during the winter months, we also have outdoor summer tubing, a mountain coaster, a unique alpine flyer ride, axe throwing, and more! No matter the weather, there are plenty of activities to keep the whole family happy and entertained. So really, there’s no “best time” to visit Rowdy Bear, because you’re guaranteed to have lots of fun any day of the year!

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING FOR CHILDREN TOO YOUNG FOR THE RIDES?
We’re proud to have something for everyone at Rowdy Bear, including the littles! For those 2 years of age and older, we have a giant playground with several unique features. The only requirements are that a parent or guardian is supervising at all times, and a signed waiver and wristband are also needed. The play area is also great for the family to regroup and take a break in between activities– the older kids will definitely want to climb around on the playground too!
ARE THERE ANY FOOD OR DRINKS AT ROWDY BEAR?
Yes! We have a small cafe with snacks, drinks, and ice cream. Sugar Bears Cafe and Creamery always has something new for you to try, from seasonal milkshakes to other yummy sweet treats!
HOW CAN I MAKE THE MOST OF MY TIME AT ROWDY BEAR?
Get the most bang for your buck with our 1 or 2-hour unlimited ride wristbands (excludes snow tubing)! You can ride the Ski Lift Shootout, and Snow Coaster as many times as you want, plus spend as much time as you want at the outdoor axe throwing. Since the tubing hill is definitely the most popular, it can get crowded during peak times, so try to get here early! We open every single day at 10 AM.
