03 Dec Family Snow Tubing at Blue Mountain Resort: A Huge Winter Playground Near NYC

Blue Mountain Resort in Palmerton, PA offers one of the most family-friendly winter experiences within easy reach of New York City. The resort is home to the largest snow-tubing park in the United States, with up to 56 lanes available when conditions allow. Each lane stretches over 1,000 feet, giving families long, smooth runs that work well for both younger kids and older thrill-seekers.

The tubing park is designed for simple, stress-free fun. Magic-carpet lifts return riders to the top of the hill without any climbing, and tubing sessions run in two-hour blocks that allow unlimited rides. All tubes are provided by the resort, and the minimum height requirement of 36 inches makes it accessible for most school-age children.

After dark, the tubing area transforms with lighting and music for the resort’s night-tubing experience, which adds a festive atmosphere families often enjoy. Nearby firepits, food trucks, and a café, offer warm-up spots and viewing areas, all open without a tubing ticket.

Blue Mountain’s snow-tubing park continues to be a popular winter choice for families looking for outdoor fun, clear logistics, and options that suit a range of ages. Checking the resort’s website for session availability is recommended before planning a visit.
