Tackle A 700-Foot-Long Tubing Hill At Koteewi Run In Indiana This Year
In the town of Noblesville, Indiana, there is a place that prepares itself every year to be the ultimate fun winter hangout spot. Sure, they don’t always have natural snow, but that’s okay — they make their own, and you get to play in it!
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
From the top to the bottom, it's 700 feet in length- long enough to thoroughly enjoy, but not too long as to be exhausting.
The creation process is quite simple and quite clean — lake water is drawn into a quarter-mile of underground pipe and distributed into "Snow Guns", which blow tiny, mist-like droplets into the air; there, they are met by enormous fans that push the droplet higher up. They subsequently freeze and fall to the ground as man-made snow.
"Lanes" are carved into the snow for guests to get onto a custom-made tube and simply careen the 700 feet downward, just to be hoisted back up the hill again by a convenient tow-line.
Don't worry about bringing your own sled, by the way — Koteewi doesn't permit guests to bring their own sleds or tubes. The cost of the custom Koteewi-tube is built into the cost of the ticket, so no worries! You don't have to lug anything heavy to and from the park.
There are several other activities to tackle during your time here, so definitely make sure to plan your day accordingly.
We suspect you'll definitely find something for just about anyone in your family to enjoy at the park.
Also on-site are heated restrooms and a small heated "Warm-Up" station equipped with space heaters for when you're done with your cold-weather shenanigans.
If you’d like to book some time at Koteewi Run, first you’ll need to sign an electronic waiver, which is available here. Please note that there are no paper waivers and this electronic one must be signed to continue the registration process, whether you choose to buy tickets on-site or online.
