One of the best parts of winter is playing in the snow and enjoying fun activities like tubing, building snowmen, or making snow angels. But what if you could enjoy snowy fun all year? At Pigeon Forge Snow, an indoor attraction that brings winter to the Smokies no matter the season, you can.
What is Pigeon Forge Snow?
Pigeon Forge Snow is an indoor snow-tubing facility in the heart of Pigeon Forge, TN. Open year-round, the 35,000-square-foot building is filled with real snow for playing, tubing, and enjoying a winter wonderland. Located on Teaster Lane near other popular attractions, it’s a family-friendly experience unlike anything else in the state.
Tubing and Snow Play for All Ages
When you visit Pigeon Forge Snow, you can buy a ticket for one hour of tubing, 30 minutes of snow play, or both. Tubers must be at least three years old and 38 inches tall, and the maximum weight limit is 375 lbs. There are no size or age restrictions for snow play.
Tubing is easy; no hiking required. A magic carpet conveyor belt carries riders to the top. From there, you can hop into a tube and race down the slopes. Multiple lanes offer different experiences, with speeds reaching up to 30 mph. Real snow, made from pure water, creates an authentic tubing adventure.

Great for all ages and skill levels, whether you’re a seasoned tuber or trying it for the first time, it’s ideal for birthday parties, group outings, and family fun.
