The snow is falling and that means one thing—it’s time to get outside and enjoy all the fun you can only enjoy in the wintertime! First on our list? Snow tubing! The kids love it and if we’re being honest, we can’t get enough of it either.
The great news is that there are lots of amazing places to go snow tubing near Toronto. You can make a day trip of it, or even just go for an hour or two without feeling like you’ve been driving for hours on end.
Here are some of the sensational snow tubing hills near Toronto.
Lakeridge
Head out to Uxbridge to Ski Lakeridge for an epic snow tubing experience. The hill is steep at the beginning to help you pick up speed but it settles into a super long run that you can enjoy as you slip and slide. Open Friday through Sunday as well as holidays. You must be 42 inches in height to ride and if your child is 42 inches but 5 and under, they must be accompanied by an adult.
