Frequently Asked Questions
All ages are welcome at Gateway Parks.
We recommend smaller children ride with a parent, but ultimately it is left to parents’ discretion.
We do not have any height or weight restrictions; our tubes are rated for 20,000+ pounds.
So as long as everyone feels comfortable and secure in their tubes there is no concerns.
What about if I am bringing other people’s children?
Each pass comes with a waiver printed on the back. By purchasing/using/wearing a pass you have agreed to the terms and conditions of our park even if you are purchasing for a child other than your own.
If you would like to get a copy of our waiver for your own purposes, please contact management at [email protected].
No.
Due to insurance and liability, the only tubes or sleds that can go down our hill are the ones we provide. The rest of the park is open to the public, and if there is natural snowfall, you are welcome to use your own sled or tube elsewhere.
Nope!
Our magic carpet does the work for you, all you have to do is stand on it with you tube and ride up to the top!
Your ticket is good only for whichever 1.5-hour session you have selected.
If you show up early you will need to wait until your session starts unless told otherwise. If you are late you will only be allowed the remainder of your session unless told otherwise.
