Big Bear Snow Play

42825 Big Bear Blvd · Big Bear Lake, CA

Why you should go…

Big Bear Snow Play bills itself as offering the longest tubing runs in Southern California, with day and night glow-tubing sessions in winter carried up by moving walkways. From April through October the site operates the Big Bear Speedway, a go-kart track with SODI RT8 karts, alongside the Big Bear Ropes Course, an aerial adventure with more than 30 obstacles and an 80-foot zipline.
