Ober Mountain is a popular destination in Gatlinburg, offering a range of activities and beautiful views. Visitors can enjoy snow tubing and ice skating in winter, and in summer, the area mimics the Alps with its scenic views and activities. The snow tubing experience is very fun, with many guests noting that the workers are helpful, fun, and caring. The guides are hilarious but also safety conscious, enhancing the experience. Snow tubing costs around $45 per person and is not included with other activities. Visitors can choose to do just the tubing or buy a wristband or tram ticket for multiple experiences and receive a discount on the tubing.
The snow tubing is a quick ride, but most of the time is spent waiting in line and going up the hill, with each run taking only seconds. The experience lasts about 90 minutes, but some visitors have found that waiting in line can take 5 or more minutes each time. Because it can sell out quickly, it is recommended to buy tickets online in advance.
Overall, Ober Mountain is a great place for a day of family fun, with something for everyone. While some visitors have reported long wait times for popular rides and attractions, the facility offers various interesting activities like a mountain coaster, wildlife zoo, indoor ice rink, mountain biking, and ziplining. The restaurant provides a range of options, though some find the prices to be a bit steep. Despite these challenges, many guests enjoyed the fun activities, helpful staff, and beautiful views. Parking on the mountain is convenient, and there are locker facilities available for guests.
