whistler blackcomb's coca-cola tube park

This was way better than we expected. We had a great time with the kids. We thought it was really just for them, but we all had a blast. Considering the lack of snow they do a really great job of keeping it up.

Had such a great time here! the tube runs are great and long. We had the park all for ourselves when we went and had some fun with the people working there. Only thing that would bother you is the short climb from the run exit to the magic carpet. You hate the climb while you're walking there, then once you catch your breath, you get over it! Really had fun on this!

We just got back from it. We got there right at the stroke of 11 and it was sweet. First up. Couple Caesars deep and we were up !! And then down. I thought Ya Ya it would just be a cool ride. But actually holly sh$$ it was fast and super fun. We paid for 2 hours. But being first up we did 6 times in an hour and that was good. The lifties were awesome they pushed us and gave us options. Of spinning or going together. It was fun To hear my wife scream with joy was awesome !! I wanta do it again. And everyone was just cool. Very relaxed. The little kids were having a time. They were everywhere.The operator let the mrs stay on the side of the black diamond lane and film me coming down. It was cool. Over all Drinks were perfect to have before hand and the rides were FAST I was surprised and stoked.

This was really fun. They have two sections -- one that is slower and one that is more faster. There is also a kiddy section, too. They were able to spin us. The tube ride was faster than expected and was really fun!While I enjoyed my one hour of tubing, I would recommend not buying more than one hour- it gets pretty repetitive.

I visited with 6 or 7 other friends, all of us in our mid twenties. Most of us had spent the day at Whistler and were pretty spent. We wanted to spend one night doing something other than hitting the bars. Looked up the Tube Park and so happy we did!We arrived closer to closing and paid for an hour, with around 30-40% discount for a few of the lanes being closed. The staff were really nice, looked like they had just as much fun pushing and spinning our group down the runs as we did. There was music playing the whole time and the lines really weren't bad at all. After reading some of the other reviews, we could have just missed them by going later but I don't know. Walking to the top of the run wasn't too rough, but I could see it becoming a problem for cold children or older visitors that werent comfortable walking on slippery surfaces. All in all, an excellent visit. So happy we went and will for sure return. Also, bring a camera. We had a few GoPros on board that captured some of the best photos/videos of our trip.

Seven lanes of varying speed and hills provide plenty of variety for the kids (and adults). A little expensive for one hour as we only got five runs in each due to the waiting lines, but this is a great break from skiing if you have a couple hours to try something new. Very convenient location on a Blackcomb Mountain day lot.

Great fun for the whole family. Easy to reach via Blackcombe gondola. Lit at night. If the sliding centre does not appeal!

Ride the gondola for free to the tube park. If you have small children, or are physically challenged, beware that there is a lot of walking and stair climbing to get to the tube park, and also a lot of uphill climbing from the end of the tube runs to the moving carpet. That wore us out a little bit. There are 8 lanes with different speeds. The beginners and little ones can start half way down the first lane. We paid for the 2 hour ride and it was plenty. Everybody had a great time!

This was a great tubing park and we went during the day when it was not busy. Unfortunately with the weather how it is the walk was pretty slushy and wet and so really hard work. Runs were good though and we go 5 in, in the hour. Little one couldn't walk up any more hills after that. The only issue is the cost we found it very expensive for all three of us.

we had a very small child with us and they had rules as to how big and how old they had to be. ours just didnt quite make the grade to be allowed on the slopes but better safe than sorry. many tried to argue with the rules but the rules are the rules so respect them. those tubes move fast down those slopes and for a very smll child it could result in injury. fun place and safe. our little one didnt notice that he couldnt ride the tubes he had fun just playing in the snow.

We went on a mid-week evening so it was really quiet. So quiet they closed the park early and we felt a bit like they were waiting for us to go! Runs were great fun, plenty open and seemed reasonable price at $22 an adult. My only complaint is the walk to the lift seemed really long and hard work in the snow!

We went to the tube park when the visibility on the ski hill worsened. We were there mid afternoon and there was no crowd at all. Six full runs and one children's run were open at the time but they weren't full length because it had been quite warm and the snow was slow. We were told that when it is very cold the runs become icy and you can go quite fast. There comes a point where it is actually too fast and they have to shut the park or reduce the number of lanes being used to avoid people crashing into each other. We bought the 2 hour pass and stayed for about 1:20. We did 7 or 8 runs in this amount of time. The attendent was great about spinning me in my tube to add to the fun factor!! The walk from the bottom of the runs to the beginning of the magic carpet seemed quite long, but that could've been because the snow was so soft it was like trying to run in sand. We had a 10% discount card from our hotel but it was still expensive.

This is a great place to play and have some fun! However it is important to use the facility when it is not too busy, not too fast and not too slow! We visited early evening and for a while it was very quiet but with only two lanes open and more people arriving all the time it soon became very busy meaning we had to queue up for some time to use the lanes. As it became colder and icy only one lane remained open so the queues became even longer. We had four 'rides' in quick succession then had to wait for ages for our final run! After 30 minutes of waiting in the freezing cold we didn't exactly enjoy our final run!Despite this problem it is good fun and the staff, as always seems the case in Whistler, were very friendly and helpful. The speed of the ride can vary enormously depending on the weather so it may be a good idea to seek local knowledge as to the best time to visit.

Great and long slides. Longer than the ones we did in Sun Valley. Great set up, will be back for sure. Have food and drinks on site as well as restrooms. Some of Blackcombs ski runs go right by it.

long queues, cold and only half the lanes working and then only one lane at at time for "safety reasons" except when a staff member went for a break. In short, not good value when 3 runs per hour on straight run. The 40% discount referred to by previous review not offered. This would be heaps of fun if design of runs were sorted out to allow more than one lane at a time operation, the prices were matched to the frequency/variety of runs on offer, the staff adopted an under promise / overdeliver service model, and did not argue with short changed customers.better access with food and viewing areas would also make a difference to families where parents slide for an hour and kids for 2 would also help.
