Vail Ice Bumper Cars

Vail’s winter activities just got cooler, with ice bumper cars in Dobson Ice Arena. Based in Lionshead Village, this family destination gives the kiddos 15 minutes to go wild on the ice, steering a one-wheel bumper car across the slippery surface. A few friendly collisions and a lot of laughs are sure to occur. Below, check out more information on Vail’s ice bumper cars, as well as reservation requirements and other trip inspiration.

What Are Ice Bumper Cars?

Ice bumper cars blend the excitement of traditional carnival bumper cars with the thrill of gliding on ice.

The high-energy fun makes it the perfect activity to get some giggles out in the evening during your Vail vacation. Uncover more family-friendly activities throughout Vail.
