FAQs: Know Before You Go

What are the requirements for the Marmot Mini Kids Tubing?

While there is no minimum height for the kids tubing, riders must be at least 3 years old and weigh between 30-100 lbs.

Are there tubing opportunities for adults and older kids?

Yes. Adults and children over 54 inches can enjoy similar thrills on the 330-foot tracks at Eagle’s Nest Tubing.

What should I bring?

Pack sunscreen, a water bottle and an extra sweater or jacket for the cooler peak weather (there is often a 10-degree difference between the villages and the summit). You’ll also want a camera or smartphone to snap memorable photos and fully enclosed shoes, like sneakers or hiking boots.

Are there other family-friendly activities near Marmot Mini Kids Tubing?

Yes, the Marmot is set atop Vail Mountain, which is packed with adventures for your whole crew. Try other Epic Discovery attractions, check out the animal-themed exhibits and guided nature hikes at the Nature Discovery Center or trek miles of aspen and wildflower-lined trails at your own pace.

Is the Marmot Mini Kids Tubing included in the Epic Discovery Adventure Pass?

Yes, it is! The pass gives you three rides on the Forest Flyer Mountain Coaster and unlimited access to the Marmot Mini Kids Tubing and other Epic Discovery activities — as long as you meet the age, height and weight requirements.

Do I have to buy an Epic Discovery Adventure Pass for the Marmot Mini Kids Tubing ride?

No, you do not. You can purchase tickets just for tubing, which include two runs down the Marmot track and a lift to the summit via a scenic gondola ride.

Where do I pick up my tickets?

You can pick up your tubing or Epic Discovery Pass tickets at the Ticket Office in Lionshead Village, across from the Eagle Bahn Gondola (#19).

Is Marmot Mini Kids Tubing open year-round?

No, the kids tubing and other Epic Discovery activities are typically open between June and September. Dates and times can vary each year, so check the Vail Mountain website for the current season’s dates and hours of operation when planning your visit.

Does Epic Discovery offer winter snow tubing?

No. Epic Discover closes in winter, and the mountain becomes a winter playground for skiers, snowboarders and snowshoers. However, Sage Outdoor Adventures offers two groomed snowtubing runs, and the villages boast several public parks with hills perfect for an afternoon of sledding.
