Ober Mountain Snow Tubing

We loved our trip to Ober Mountain! There's so much to do, especially with kids. First, you get a 10 minute cable car ride to the top with a driver who gives you all kinds of info about the surrounding area. Once at the top, there is a mountain coaster, ice skating, summer tubing, bumper cars, a bounce pad, and another chairlift up to a spot where they are working on a scenic overlook deck. There are several different eating options at the top, and if you want to pay an additional amount if you can do a Zipline. The even more amazing part is that they give veterans/military a free wrist band! Thank you, Ober Mountain! That was incredibly appreciated. The only part of the experience I struggled with was the small zoo. There are two bears, but they just pace the small enclosure and do not look happy. The one kept trying to go back in the enclosed area and was trying to push the door in, but he was locked out so that customers could see him. That just didn't seem right to the bear.

As a local with a YouTube channel The Gatlinburg Hussey, we had an absolute blast! I made a video and it had 3k views first 24 hrs! Come say hi on YouTube

I truly enjoyed this visit to Ober Mountain. There was a lot to do. Our almost 5 year old granddaughter had a great time. With the ice bumper cars, the swings, tubing, coaster ride and inside carousel. The food was also good. The habitat refuge was well maintained and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

We had an awesome time, the staff is very friendly and there's so much to do here. My grandkids didn't want to leave! I highly recommend a stop here, super family fun!

Ober Mountain is a family-friendly destination that offers a variety of activities for visitors of all ages. From scenic roller coasters to breathtaking ropeways and exhilarating zip lines, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you are looking for a fun-filled day with family and friends or an unforgettable experience in the Smoky Mountains, Ober Mountain is a must-visit destination.

Beautiful place, we enjoyed going. We bought the unlimited pass, but because of rain, they closed down the mountain coaster. Wish we had known it at the time of purchase. Gondola ride was cool and worth going on.

Ober Mountain turned out to be quite the adventure! Despite some mixed reviews I stumbled upon, here's my take. Many opt to park in Gatlinburg and ride the tram up to the ski lodge, but we chose to drive all the way up. The journey involved navigating several winding roads, but upon arrival, the parking lot was nearly empty, given it was the final day of the ski season. Still, parking was $20.

It was the first skiing experience for my wife and our two teenage boys - not something you typically do in Florida!

Once we paid, we geared up, starting with helmets and ski bibs. The staff member assisting us was super helpful, ensuring the helmets fit perfectly.

However, the experience dipped a bit at the ski and boot rental counter. Despite three attendants, after getting our boots, no one checked to see if they fit right or if we needed any help. I ended up spending the next 15 minutes making sure everyone was set, and then they were off to ski school.

The ski instructor, Travis, I think, was fantastic. He spent a good hour with my family, focusing on fun and the fundamentals.

The layout of Ober Mountain really impressed me. There's a dedicated area for kids and families, a large outdoor video screen for events, and even synthetic grass to keep the place tidy and appealing.

It seems like Ober Mountain is a hidden treasure all year round, from winter skiing to summer biking. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
