    Tube
    Penny C.

    It was such a fun time for the entire extended family and even though they were busy the wait times were super reasonable. The staff were super attentive and kind...and the hot chocolate was very good!

    This place is all about Tubing! I was there during the President Day long weekend and had a chance to go tubing for an hour while waiting for another snowshoeing tour that we signed up at Winter Park Resort. I thought it was great that the place was open and accepted people who walked in (we tried getting some spots inside Winter Park Report and was told they were full/needed us to have reservations!). Colorado Adventure Park though was a bit out of the way (maybe 15 min bus ride), but you could take a free shuttle bus (comes every half an hour/ an hour or so?) from Winter Park resort to get there. It was a little in convenient, but if you were looking for fun things to do/entertain your inner child, this was was worth it! The costs were $55/hr for a double and perhaps $35/hr for a single. You could go for an hour or two and must sign a waiver before they process your payment at a window. Overall, it was pretty easy to figure out the logistics of how to move a tube, get up the slope (there was a conveyor that took us up to the top of the hill) and slide down! I would say, I loved the small adrenaline rush that you get from coming down the slope for you...oh gosh, I hadn't done tubing for such a long time..so it was pretty fun! You probably don't need more than an hour or two..so you should be ready to head back/find other activities to do around the area. Overall, I liked it...it was a little out of the way from Winter Park Resort..but I loved the flexibility that you could just come without any reservations.and loved how easy and stress less the activity was....to entertain/be with your innerself! Check this plac eout if you have time! The only thing I wished was that the shuttle comes more frequently....or that I had a private vehicle when I went there..but given the icy road...honestly..it was best that we didn't drive there to go tubing and took a free shuttle instead.

    Nothing special. Had a good time with the family but it's nothing more than a snowy hill with a lift. The two biggest problems I had with it were this: -We bought our tickets two days prior online but still had to wait an hour after we arrived to get tubes. Their website says that priority is given to online tickets. -The other issue is too many people either don't know how to maintain their balance or just play around on the lift. This caused 2 huge pile ups on the lift in the hour and a half that I was there. One situation got to a point where I started throwing other peoples tubes over the rail to relieve the pile up. Actually tubing down the hill was a blast, but due to this being the only activity to do here, the potential for people tripping all over each other on the lift and the long wait time, I will probably stick to a snow park closer to Breckinridge next time.

    It was my first time tubing and I truly enjoyed it. My friends and I were able to tie our tubes together and come down the tubes all together. They also had double tubes and single tubes. The slope was perfect. Helmets were available if you wanted one. Everyone was nice and friendly at the park. I truly had a great time and can't wait to come back.

    Great place to go and rent snowmobiles. We did the 2 hr trip to continental divide and it was great. Our guide Eric was great also.

    Great customer service. I had a lot of fun! I would encourage people to go visit. You will enjoy it too.

    I had a great time here! I will 100% come back again. I purchased tickets in advance but I arrived 15 minutes after opening because of the negative reviews about long wait times. There was absolutely no wait when I got there! Also, I went tubing for 2 hours and even when I was finished the line wasn't long at all (maybe a 5 minute wait - at most.) I came on a Saturday and I was pleased that the check-in was so smooth and seamless. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hills were so much fun. Seriously - this is the most fun I've had in a while. I also loved the fire pit and there was a nice variety of snacks and drinks available for purchase. This experience was wonderful and I can't wait to go back again!

    Understaffed so be prepared to wait, outside... Four adults and two kids, easily $200... The conveyor belt to the top broke after our first run and the wind was crazy so it just wasn't worth it at that point. They offer porta potties in freezing temps and you can buy hot chocolate from the lady double as the check-in person and cashier...

    Colorado Adventure Park has seasonal events happening throughout the year with Snow Tubing being the most popular in the winter months of the year. They have a bonfire area with wooden benches and picnic tables in the summer, but in our visit they were buried with the deep snow and there was no bonfire warming us up while waiting to fill out the waiver forms. The pricing was $25.00 for a single tube an hour, which is actually workable and not bad considering not everyone wanted to tube at the same time. We saw another option for $40.00 for a double tube that would be fun for you and your partner. So everything is virtual now, it seems like QR CODES are everywhere!!! To restaurants and menus and even signing our waivers here. You can fill out the same waiver if you have a minor, just add their names. I had pretty bad signal, so I was freezing my tail off while trying to get my screen to load.. no big deal!! I was actually looking forward to the snow tubing. We had a party of 4 in total and our total was $150.00 for admissions fee, also rented a helmet for our youngest party. The process is simple and straightforward: Fill the waiver, get your tube, and head to the "Red Carpet Ride," that takes you to the very top of the hills. We ended up overstaying our welcome and the staff seemed to not check our pay stub which was nice. We slid down 4 hills in total, ranging from "easiest to hardest," all categorized by color. There are no food options here, so do prepare to eat before, during or after. Bring your own snacks. There are no seating areas at the bottom of the hills, you do have to walk almost a mile to get to the hills and tube. The restrooms are at the entrance, so do keep that in mind! After sliding the 4 hills a number of 100 times, we did call it a day!

    We had so much fun tubing after riding Ski Mobiles next door. It was a really good rate and you tube as many times as you want. There are I believe 4 different hills to tube down that range from easy-most difficult. I stuck to the first 2 levels and got enough of an adrenaline rush. The only downside is once you get down the hill you kind of have to move quick or someone else can run into you as they come down. They serve alcohol in the can and you can bring your own items to have like a like a little picnic at the tables.

    Line for people who have already paid and registered.

    A hideous experience. Hundreds of people waiting in line to check in for their online reservation. Only one person checking people in. Tickets being sold to others at a faster rate. When we asked to speak to a manager, we were told "I can text my boss." Handwritten "No Refund" signs are evidence that they know things are a dumpster fire, but this does not remotely resemble what was offered online ("by reserving online, you will be able to just check in at concessions"). After waiting for 1.5 hours just to check in, another 1.5 hours waiting for a tube. The hourly employees were sort of trying, but were obviously beaten up working for this place. The sad thing is they are holding vacationers hostage because they can. Terrible management/ownership. Sad this is associated with Colorado tourism.

    Great exciting fun. Fun for the whole family. So much to do. We decided to go tubing and there was not a huge crowd. Prices are reasonable and they do give military discount. You pay buy the hour so you can gage how much time you want to play in the snow ! There are different size hills for you depending on if you want to be daring or not . There employees are extremely helpful and there at each slope or hill to help. We are definitely going to go back up and enjoy other activities. It's also nice to just sit and watch others if you can't do the activities by the fire pit outside as I did with some hot cocoa! Would recommend you to stop here if in the area and interested in these types of activities

    Winter Park Resort is the perfect Colorado mountain escape…read more The views are incredible, the scenery is beautiful, and the resort has something for everyone -- whether you're there to ski, explore, or simply enjoy the mountains. The atmosphere is welcoming, the location is unbeatable, and the entire experience captures what makes a mountain getaway special. It's easy to spend the day outside enjoying everything the resort has to offer and then relax surrounded by some of the best scenery Colorado has to offer. A great destination for adventure, relaxation, and making lasting memories.

    My impressions of this park are probably impacted by the fact that they desperately need snow. (As…read moremost ski resorts out here do). However other factors also influenced my impression. They need better access to maps, both the posted sign size and paper maps. For example, a trail map at bottom of each lift and at top of lift would be good too esp when more than 1 lift ends at same location. And why not put a map of ski village buildings on the trail map to help with orientation. I wish they would have groomed the trails more so in the morning so snow would have been fresher. It just seemed to make it more icy by grooming at night. Since many trails were closed people were condensed into those trails that were open. Squeezing more people into a smaller area will course make lift lines crowded but also puts more traffic on the slopes. The lift lines were absolutely ridiculous on the weekend. I didn't pay that much for lift ticket to repeatedly stand in lift line for 20 minutes. Also it would have been nice to have an increase in ski patrol monitoring some of the trails to discourage the aggressive behavior including the boarder who purposely ran into me and knocked me down. (When they laugh and keep going you know it was on purpose) We purchased lift tickets months ago so I don't remember the details of the process except that it wasn't straightforward. I ordered lift tickets for both myself and my husband so assuming I did the same thing each time but no he got a pass with early up access and I didn't. Weird. Okay here are some positives: I do like the availability of restrooms throughout the resort including up on some slopes. That is very nice. I appreciated sharing the slopes with amputees and individuals using wheelchairs. It is nice to see the inclusivity. I also really enjoyed going up to Sunspot lodge in the evening for sunset. That was very fun.

    Obviously everyone's trip experience is going to be in different. But ours was fantastic. We are a…read morefamily of 4, a 10yo Bo with lots of energy and a 12 yo girl with not so much. It's definitely a large operation. Check in for us involved a 100 people or so. But they've got it down. Don't plan to bring much/anything with you honestly. You can choose wet suits, dry jackets etc... It was 75 degrees in July here so our family split between wet suits and dry jackets. The latter was the better choice. You take a 30 minute school bus ride and some quick safety instructions (thanks Erico!) And then get assigned to your boat. Ours included 8 of us and a guide. Honestly that was too much but okay. Our guide was Tristan who was fantastic. Funny and engaging with fun facts along the way. But more importantly you could tell he was taking safety seriously. We did the browns canyon ride and it was a good mix of slightly challenging for the kids and fun for the adults. All in all it was a great way to spend half a day!

    Guides: Tim & Colleen *We went in August*…read more - W H A T T O E X P E C T - We booked ahead of time, online, for the "Cliffside Zipline Half Day" in Idaho Springs. They have multiple locations and have similar and different activities that you can do at each location. When we arrived we walked in through the building on the right (it looks like a store), and checked in. After checking in, we had to wait for a bit until our guides were ready. Once they were, we went into the building to the left and received our gear. For the ziplining portion, our equipment was a harness and a helmet. *Each of the helmets has cute and/or funny names, definitely spend the time and look through the names. For example: They have an adult one that says: Potato and a child one that says: Little Tater Once we were all put on our equipment, our guides, Tim & Colleen, double-checked to make sure we each had our equipment on correctly and securely. Snug, but not too snug. After checking our equipment, Tim started to read a disclaimer and some rules to follow while we were up on the zipline. Heads up: - NOTHING IN YOUR POCKETS IS SAFE - If you have any glasses or hats, leave them in your car. Wear contacts if you have to, or put the little ropes that can be connected to your glasses to catch them in case they fall off your face. - There is a wooden board with hooks to hang your car keys. They assured us that hanging the keys there are safe. There is only one road, and anyone that tries to steal a vehicle won't get very far down the one road before a police officer stops them. :) You are ziplining on the cliffside of the mountain. If you do not have pockets that zip/button closed, don't put anything in them. If anything falls down the cliff, no one is going to go and get it. It's too dangerous. Personally, I had prepared and worn my contacts - but I will probably wear glasses with the ropes next time. We went in August, and it was still chilly in the mountains. Some of the ziplines go pretty fast, so my eyes would water. I had a jacket with zipper pockets, so I was the designated picture taker in my group. I was able to keep my phone safe by putting it in my zipper pocket. After going through safety and the disclaimer, we jumped onto the bed of a truck, clipped ourselves in, and road all the way up to the mountain. After you get off the truck, there is a narrow trail you have to take to get to the first platform. It is a dirt trail, and it's on the side of the mountain. Important... don't be stupid. :) I'm personally terrified of falling from tall heights, so I had to take my time and not look down to my right. It was fine, it wasn't dangerous. It's just one of my greatest fears. (Hence facing them by ziplining!) - E X P E R I E N C E - If you can request two guides... Request Tim & Colleen! It is very apparent how much they love their job. Tim was the main guide, he has been doing this job for a very long time. They both made the whole experience so much fun. Their excitement, personalities, and overall energy made this a very unique and memorable experience. They were silly and fun, while still making sure we all were and felt safe. We are hoping to come back and be able to ask for both of them again. :) - P A R K I N G - They have plenty of parking spaces in their lot, the parking is a bit rough though - so be careful when driving in and out of the parking lot. - O V E R A L L - We all had a great experience, Colleen & Tim We had 5 people in our group, two of us had ziplined before, and three of us were doing it for the first time. It was an absolutely amazing time and I can't wait to do it again.

We only made it halfway through our group before one of us got stuck on the second line. It took a few minutes to get them unstuck and over to the other side.

Once we rejoined the other half of our group, our other guide explained that our trip was being cancelled and that we'd need to hike back down. This was shocking and disappointing to all of us--especially the children in our party, who had travelled from out of state and specifically picked this zip-line as the thing they most wanted to do in Colorado. It wasn't worth the long drive just to get up there and have the plug pulled on us with no explanation. I will say the front desk was very kind and helpful. After hearing our account of what happened, they issued us a full refund. Overall, it was a disappointing trip that left all of us confused about what went wrong.
