Snow in Atlanta…the thought may drum up really happy memories (snowed in for the weekend, happy kids sledding the day away, warming by the fire at night with a good movie and hot cocoa) or it may bring back some cringy moments (2014 Atlanta Snowpocalypse…enough said!). While we often wish for snow to create those happy memories, the truth is it’s never guaranteed in the south. So, why not take matters into your own hands and go find it?? Luckily, although Atlanta’s snow chances are unpredictable, there’s a 100% chance you will find fun at one of the snow tubing places listed below!
Snow tubing is good for most ages, requires little skill, and is a lot of fun! That’s why spots fill up fast. Most of the snow tubing parks recommend advance reservations or suggest you arrive early in the day. Ticket prices vary and the cost of tickets typically goes up on weekends and holidays. Many of the snow tubing parks also have age and height requirements. Some allow small children to ride with parents, but not all. That’s why it’s important to have as much information as possible before you go. Check out the comprehensive list of snow tubing parks with all the information you need to plan a trip for your family. Bundle up and have fun!
