We visited during the summer and got the $50 unlimited rides deal, which was a great value for the…read morekids. Our favorite attraction was definitely the Mountain Coaster! The ride to the top has incredible views, and once you reach the top, you control your own speed on the way down. Two people can ride together as long as the combined weight is under 300 lbs. My kids also enjoyed the zip line (it's pretty short) and had the most fun tubing. The downside was the long wait--the lines were so busy that they only got about four runs in during their hour. The biggest downside was the parking. The baseball fields share the same parking lot, and since games were going on, there was almost no parking available. We arrived around 10:50 a.m. and had to leave and come back around 3 p.m. to find a spot. Also, be extra careful walking through the parking lot because there are lots of cars moving around, and some drivers are focused on the games instead of pedestrians. One tip: fill out the waiver before you arrive--it speeds things up. The $50 special couldn't be purchased online, so buying tickets took a while. Also, be prepared for expensive food. Overall, we had a fun day, especially because of the Mountain Coaster and tubing. I would definitely come back--but probably during the winter when there aren't baseball games taking over the parking lot! I think the experience would be even better then.

OMG, definitely a place to go and go again!!! We had such a blast. Not very busy either.read more

It had two separate areas for the older kiddos and the littles. A bathroom nearby was handy. The elk roaming nearby was an added bonus.

It's a blast with beautiful views. Then we got our wristbands for snow tubing. You get 3 hours of fun for $38 each adult. We did several of the chutes, but as it got warmer and warmer, they had to shut some chutes down because the snow was melting so rapidly. Then we got a snack from the food trucks, which is awesome. Plenty of picnic tables. I had the best elote style roasted corn, and I could not believe it was $5! Advice: get there early or lines get super long (it is spring break so maybe it's not always like that) And wear shoes and clothes you are willing to get dirty and wet. I wore sneakers which were definitely the wrong footwear. Muck boots would have been great. I highly recommend this for a super fun day!

They said come back the next day at 8:45 am to get tickets, okay now today is 12/28, I return with all liability waivers filled out, got all the PDFs, takes 32 minutes to get tickets even though we showed up at 8:45 Go to get breakfast in town, come back at 10, come back, parking lot is at capacity, closed, their attendants only tell you to keep driving, no other instructions, basically saying better luck next time, we swing back around 10:15 now, takes 15 minutes to find a free parking space, get the kids out and ready, have to walk around this area to find the bathrooms, now it's 10:45, finally get to the penguin hill, the only person there attending is to check height, my daughter is 43 inches (with shoes on), in very broken English, the height checker says she is too tall, cannot ride, but we still go so our 2 year old can ride, it is a chaotic mess, absolutely no one is attending to this hill, kids are crashing into each other, people are slipping on ice, and falling with their infants, no help at all. Okay now it's 11:10, we have done one penguin hill, mind you we've paid $140 for four tickets, and they expire at noon (3 hours) My wife takes the 4 year old up to one of the bigger hills she can ride on, it is now 11:57, they were in line for 47 minutes and still haven't come down, my ticket is expiring in three minutes and i did not have a chance to hop on a hill, in total we were able to ride two rides, there are no refunds. This place is so poorly managed, I would not come back here again.

The spaces weren't super far apart, but we had plenty of room to sit out in our camp chairs and be socially distanced from any other campers without having to wear masks. We had full hookups. The only downside is the highway noise, but all the RV parks in Ruidoso that we saw (and there are A LOT of them) are just off the highway. The fishing lake on site is super cute and if you don't catch anything, you don't pay anything. We caught trout both times we fished. You also don't need any equipment or bait because it's provided. Just show up as you are! There are even apple trees on the property, so we are planning to come back in September or October to taste the apples. Will definitely stay here again. Thanks for the wonderful vacation!
