What You’ll Find at Big Bear Snow Play
If you are in Big Bear during the fall or winter months, be sure to stop by Big Bear Snow Play for a day of classic outdoor fun! Choose from the newly constructed Big Bear Speedway or zoom down the repurposed ski hill at this popular, family-friendly outdoor attraction in Big Bear. No matter which activity you pick, you can recharge between activities inside the heated Base Lodge, complete with restrooms and a snack bar.
Go Snow Tubing
During the winter, you can fly down through the powder on a tube at Big Bear Snow Play. There might be natural snow blanketing the ground, depending on when you visit, but if there isn’t, don’t worry! As long as it is cold enough, Big Bear Snow Play can make plenty of fluffy snow to cover what was formerly known as Rebel Ridge.
The hill here sports some of the longest runs in Southern California. The best part is that you can enjoy all the fun of the length without having to worry about trekking back up the hill, thanks to the two magic carpet lifts. One of the lifts is covered with clear tunnels, making for a fun, futuristic-looking ride.
Race down the hill during the day, or make your experience even more exciting by going glow tubing at night! Rush through the cool night air at Big Bear Snow Play Fridays, Saturdays, and during the holiday season from 5 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Race Go Karts
Race up to 30mph in Sodi RT8 karts through a winding course filled with hairpin turns and tight curves. The barriers are the same kind used in Formula 1 racing and other circuits worldwide, which add to the authenticity of the experience! The racetrack is open during the fall on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
