Tubing tickets cost $17 per person for 50 minutes. You select a time slot when you buy your ticket, and tubes are provided. Riders must walk up the hill with their tubes before sliding back down.

Sensory-Friendly Tubing: A Calmer Glow

For those who prefer a quieter experience, Bowers offers Sensory-Friendly Tubing sessions. During these sessions, lights and music are reduced to make the glowing hill easier to enjoy. Dates: January 25 and February 21, 2 p.m.–2:50 p.m.
