Meanwhile, back at the fantastic Frisco Adventure Park, courageous souls are getting their Zorb on at the one-of-a-kind Tumble Bubble Corral.
What's that you say? Well, the gist is that you can tumble, bounce, and smash other tumblers in what are essentially ginormous, 9-foot human hamster balls.
You can even sail the Zorb over the snow and knock down 12-foot-tall bowling pins! Tumble Bubbles are proven fun for everyone and are located at the south-west corner of the Frisco Day Lodge.
This amazing destination around Denver offers so much more than snow tubing and skiing... and tumble bubbles. You can also go hiking and snowshoeing, and, during the warmer months, rent a pontoon boat and go sailing, play disc golf, and so much more. If you’re craving a quintessential Wild West experience, you can go on a sleigh or chuck wagon ride, offered seasonally.
So... what do you say? It's Frisco Adventure Park and chill all the way! Do yourself and your friends and family a favor and make your reservation today!

Should I go hiking in winter in Colorado?
If you can handle the cold, we definitely recommend it! Colorado is home to stellar sights all year long. For some gorgeous icy views, visit Dream Lake near Denver. This short and sweet hike is full of fascinating wildlife and jaw-dropping sights. Make sure to wear your best winter gear, though! The terrain can get slippery this time of year. For more fun adventures, visit Rocky Mountain National Park and explore the Alberta Falls Trail. If you park at the Bear Lake Trailhead, you’ll have a 1.6-mile round trip journey. It’s the perfect length for a mid afternoon outing.
Is Colorado a good place to visit during winter?
We definitely think so! Colorado takes on a whole new glow this time of year, and there are so many fun winter activities. Lace up your ice skates and glide along a rink. Rush down pristine mountain slopes. If you have young ones, take the family snow tubing! If it’s icy views you’re after, check out these spectacular frozen waterfalls in Colorado or explore the seven natural wonders of Denver. No matter what you decide to do, you will have an epic adventure.
