Big Bear Snow Play offers a fun snow experience, especially when there is enough snow, whether natural or artificial. Visitors can enjoy tubing, sledding, and snow activities like building snowmen and playing snowballs. The facility features an automatic ramp that makes it easy to go back up the hill, allowing for multiple runs and re-entry throughout the day, which many find to be good value for the price. The staff is generally friendly and accommodating, and the site provides clean restrooms, plenty of parking, and a snack shack for convenience. However, the experience can vary depending on snow conditions and crowd levels. When snow is limited, the artificial snow may not be as enjoyable, and some rides might be closed. Peak times tend to be crowded, leading to long waits for rides. Some visitors found the glow tubing light show underwhelming for the price. Additionally, some staff members showed little willingness to work with guests, and pricing can seem steep for some, especially when only a few runs are available. Despite these issues, many guests have a good time, especially children, who enjoy the snow activities and tubing. Overall, Big Bear Snow Play is a popular spot for snow fun in Big Bear, but visitors should be mindful of weather conditions and crowd levels.
Snowtubing was fun, but 50 dollar is a lot when the kids get bored after 1 hour.
