Visited Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain and did the coaster such a blast! It goes surprisingly fast, but you're in full control of the brakes, which makes it exciting and fun. The views going up and down are absolutely beautiful, so you really get to enjoy the scenery while riding. They also have several other activities to do, which is great if you're spending the day there. Just note there isn't a bundle for all rides it's pay-as-you-go for each activity. Overall, a super fun experience and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

This was our second stop after arriving in Big Bear and honestly, it was a blast. We arrived around 10:30am and waited about 15 minutes to turn into the parking lot. Parking was free when we got there (Monday) First stop is the kiosk (not tickets!) where you sign a waiver. They'll give you a little zip tie to show you're cleared for rides. After that, you buy tickets per ride and line up for whatever you want to do. You will not be able to do anything without the zip tie. Total wait time for us with kiosk and for the ride was about 2 hours, but it flew by. Parents waited in line for the coaster while kids played in the snow or hopped into shorter ride lines, smart setup. If you get the blonde coaster attendant, consider yourself lucky. She's stern but fair and keeps things from getting chaotic. Big Bear celebrity status, honestly. As you can see on the other reviews haha part of the experience. Heads up: the food area was messy and the restroom was out of toilet paper (crowds + kids = chaos). Come prepared and lower expectations there. That said, the wait was 100% worth it. My daughter loved it and we'll definitely be back. Another family recommended the night snow tubing, saying it's less crowded. Coaster rides are about $20, and bring quarters for lockers or leave your stuff in the car. Also, the tubing hill here is way more fun than the others in town. Fun, busy, chaotic, but totally worth it. read more

Here's my review based on our experience: it's a fun place to entertain your kids while vacationing in Big Bear but likely a one time thing. They have different rides including their famous mineshaft coaster, alpine slide, soaring eagle, snow play for tubing, go karts, and mini golf. You have to buy a ticket for each attraction. They do not allow pictures or videos on the rides which is a bummer. They take video and pictures on the mineshaft coaster but you have to purchase them for $14.99 (which seems like a scam because we just paid $20 per person for the ride). The reality is that this place is too small for the number of visitors it attracts during the peak winter season. The rides are fun but overpriced and short. We rode 3 rides and paid $42 per person. I understand they cannot control how busy it gets but the management team should consider improving a few things: - the parking lot is small and fills up quickly. There no staff around to direct traffic to the available parking spots or move along drivers who are stopping and waiting for a spot to open up which backs up everyone else behind them in the one way lot. They need someone to help direct the flow of traffic. - they need to have live updates on their website and in person to keep their customers informed on which rides are open or if closed, when they will open. The go kart and mini golf were closed on the day we went because of the icy weather. The alpine slide didn't open until noon because they had to dry the slides. - please train your staff (especially the older females) about the importance of customer service and being kind. There were 3 older female employees who worked at the mineshaft coaster and tubing ticket counter were so rude, yelling, and condescending to customers. It really killed the vibe. For God sake, you work around kids. Have some manners. Tip: arrive early and even before they open up. We got there right at 10am as they opened and we had to wait 15 minutes to sign the waiver and buy our tickets. By the time we left around noon, the line was over an hour wait to sign the waiver and over 90 mins to ride the mineshaft coaster. read more

As tourists in Big Bear, we were a little sad there wasn't much natural snow to sled on but we were happy to see Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain, the park saved the day! We rolled in early (highly recommend!) and skipped the long lines. Yes, most rides are priced separately, which was a surprise, but honestly... we still had a great time. The kids loved sledding on the man-made snow, and their laughter made it worth every penny. We hopped on the other rides too, and they were just FUN! We didn't try the food, but they do sell snacks and meals. Outside food isn't allowed, but since the park is open, you can easily walk back to your car--parking is super easy and close, which was a big plus. Overall, such a fun family stop! If you're looking for something exciting to do in Big Bear, this place definitely brings the energy. read more

This was a great experience. Expect to wait long. If you start waiting in line towards the back where they check you in, make sure to go grab your ticket at the front of the establishment before walking into the building. I think it was fun. However extremely cold when I went in January. WEAR GLOVES. I didn't and my hands were frozen. Also I don't think I could reach the handles very well with my big jacket on. Great roller coaster though I want to go back when it's not as cold read more

Alpine Slide At Magic Mountain - Go Karts Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

What We Played: -Single Ride Ticket $20 -Child Ride Ticket $10 -Mini Golf (Child) $8 -Mini Golf (Adult) $9 The Mine Shaft Coaster was a lot of fun and quite exhilarating! As a larger guy, I felt like I was flying down the track. I didn't feel unsafe, although I may have used the brakes a time or two. The mini golf was your typical course, with a few interesting holes, but most were pretty average. We couldn't find a scorecard, but we took scores on our phones. We had a friendly wager between siblings and spouses, which made it all the more enjoyable! We really enjoyed playing here, and the price is unbeatable. The staff is incredibly helpful. One employee even went out of their way to help us by giving us a penny for the machine when we were short. I was so grateful for their kindness! We will definitely be back when we're in Big Bear again. read more

I am giving this 5 stars because of the mineshaft coaster. That was a blast! Totally worth the $20 a person to ride. It was the perfect weather too during the summer because it was cloudy and rained a little. The staff are very friendly and parking lot is spacious. Perfect location on the way into Big Bear too. There's mini golf, go karts, water slides, soaring eagle ride, alpine slide, and a mineshaft coaster. You sign the waivers first then head on the rides. The coaster goes really fast especially on the second half of the ride. You can ride with 2 if total weight is under 370 too. Solo ride is the way to go though. It started raining on the chair life to the alpine slide which was nice actually. They cautioned to go slower since it was wet which I think took from the experience for me. It was cool to say I did it but the coaster is where it's at. Didn't try the other activities but I had a wonderful time. Will definitely come back! read more

The coaster is a lot more fun than the alpine slide but the coaster is a bit pricey. My only concern is the experience I had with the person who explains how to navigate the coaster. My daughter was in front of me, solo While I was with my son in a separate coaster behind her. I saw she leaned out to ask a question and that the guy explaining everything didn't see her so I let him know she had a question. He didn't even look back at her he just told me she could read the signs. Considering they make you sign a release to ride it - my 11 year old deserved better than to be ignored. I didn't have time to call him out on his rude and dismissive tone or negligence before our coaster moved forward. His job is literally to explain safety - especially to kids. He needs to be reprimanded and reminded what his job is. read more

So fun! Pretty expensive but for a Big Bear trip, it kept our kids having fun & wiped out at the end of the day!

Organized. Costly if you put together all the activities. But, it's worth it! You can just select what suits your family. Tubing was great and good for all ages. 3-2-2025 read more

. The lady at the kiosk waivers was very nice , no issue there. But as soon as we got to the payment section . The lady was incredibly rude and angry . She definitely put a dampened our experience especially since she did not have any people skills . There many signs everywhere but it still didn't really point to the correct area . The coaster was ok . Not worth the price for one ride but our kids still enjoyed themselves . read more

Alpine Slide At Magic Mountain - Go Karts Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

I've been coming to Big Bear for a couple years now and I finally was able to stop and try the slide! The line can get pretty long but it was a cute little ride. They have a lot of different things to do there (arcade games, food, tobogan slide, zipline, ropes course) so you can easily spend a lot of time and money there. My slide stopped a few times without me pressing the brake so I couldn't go as fast as I wanted but it is probably a safety thing. Be patient, expect a lot of people, and you'll have a good time. The slide was $20 per ride for adults and $10 for small passengers. read more

tried the Mine Shaft Coaster--my first time on a coaster like that. Imagine a rollercoaster and a go-kart had a baby,Pure fun. Also did the alpine slide, which is basically the mountain's version of a waterslide... minus the water, plus a lot more, I should've braked sooner moments. Both were a blast, both had me grinning like a kid with a churro. The best part, Doesn't matter if it's winter and you're waddling around in snow gear, or summer when everyone's rocking board shorts and flip-flops, there's always something here to make you feel like you're on vacation from being an adult. Fun for the whole family, unless your family is boring... then you should probably rent a new one just for the day. read more

The first staff I interacted was a ticket booth lady for the Alpine Slide, who was impatient and was kinda insulting towards me. My apple pay didn't go through and the POS system reset somehow. She told me to "press the second button" and when I asked for clarification, she just repeated "the second button," while there are multiple apps/options I could choose from the system. At this point I could sense her impatience. I pressed an incorrect app and she repeated "oh my god, my god" and "you broke my machine" at least THREE times while we waited for manager to help --- She said we'd have to wait for help because "you broke my machine" and when she moved us to another POS system, she stated again because "you broke my machine." Whole time I apologized at beginning and stayed quiet until someone else could come fix it, lady was just rambling from frustration in front of my face. Manager resolved the system in literally seconds. Anyways, although admission to the park is free, be prepared to spend $12-$20 for a single ride that lasts 1-5 minutes which doesn't include a video/photo you can download after, which would be an additional $12!!! The Alpine Slide and Soaring Eagle were definitely fun but so short-lived! Between the two, Alpine Slide was my favorite. Overall, I don't recommend coming here. I've been here before and had negative experiences, including a huge scar on my left arm from slipping off the board on the Mineshaft Coaster as a kid :( Second time as an adult was sucky too. Be aware! read more

The lines were very long and very expensive to go tubing, but once we got through all of that, my kids had fun. It just appeared that the tubes were kind of rundown and I wish they would update that a little bit better. If I could recommend to go very early or very late, but definitely not in between. read more

This was a fun experience for a group of girls! We loved the Alpine Slide and the little ski lift up to it was my favorite part! Listen: it is not an organized park like Disneyland, but it also was not very expensive. The rides are all separate charges and you do have to sign a waiver first. But if you know what you're getting into, it's awesome. read more

The lady who works the front area where you pay for the slide is so rude. She's literally miserable. Gave us the dirtiest look when we walked up to pay than tried to play games with us when we wanted to use apple pay. Sad. If you don't like your job then find another one. read more

this place is so much fun !! We had a blast !! The prices are totally worth paying for. The views are amazing. The place is clean. Lots to do , very well organized and very informative staff.

Have been coming here since 2020 when we bought a home nearby. We have made it a trend to bring all of our guests to try the Coaster or Bob Sled. Our kids had season passes to the water slides 2 years in a row and it was totally worth it. Sometimes we would go for 30 mins or two hours just depended on how the kids felt :) Customer Service isn't the best .. (only reason I don't give a 5) Pros & Cons Bob Sled, (very fun! Beautiful views on the chair going up) Snow Tubing + magic carpet (very fun for kids, friends and large groups of people) Water Slide (fun! Season pass if you can go 2-3+ times) Soaring Eagle (very fast experience & pricey) Arcade + Snack Bar (regular snack bar food) Take Cash they don't except card but do have an ATM machine They sometimes close early without notice which sucks if you're planning or kids are aware and they Disappointed when you get there and they close early for no reason Gets crowded especially during the winter season Parking lot is fairly small Customer service is probably a 5/10 Expensive read more

The way they run the check in and tickets is ridiculous. Enormous lines for no reason. You wait in a huge line to sign a waiver which is done on an iPad. So that could easily be done on people's phones instead. Then you wait in another huge line for tickets. Over an hour of lines just for waiver and tickets. Ticket purchases should also be pushed online and can be done via QR code. This whole thing would take a junior programmer/developer 1 hour to figure out and make more efficient. The whole wait should be less than 5 minutes. Also there is zero entertainment for kids under 36". They cannot ride any of the rides and there is no alternative entertainment for them (no playground, snow patch, literally anything). They're just standing around in a cement lot waiting for their siblings to ride. Also really expensive and misleading pricing. Kids over 42" get charged the "adult" price. So a 42" five year old gets charged as an "adult." It's a monopoly so they can do as they please. The rides are fun. They just need to get into the 21st century. read more

Visited to ride the mountain coaster on a busy Saturday. The young lady running the kiosk was very efficient and kept the line moving. The ill-mannered older blonde lady running the register ruined our ride. She screamed at us for not pushing a crowd of kids out of the way so we could get to her window. Alpine Slide, you are doing your customers a disservice by employing this person. She should not be consumer-facing, but I'm guessing you already are aware of the havoc she is wreaking on your paying public visitors. Strongly recommend the mountain coaster, but good luck when you get to the window to pay. read more

Employees were so rude, we said hi and before we could even finish our sentence the employee automatically was like "go to iPads". Im like okay maybe shes having a bad day, NO. We go on the lift and the employee didn't say hi and only said "two yellow boxes" before I know it I got slammed by the lift and he doesn't say anything except to get out of the way. He then doesn't even ask if Im okay but then just says two yellow boxes again. Ride was nice but dang are people in big bear just this rude? read more

Ok so, I had never been to Big Bear before. Got here in early February...snow only in the way of north east five week ago plowed to the side of the road dirt ice. Still a chill little town, but I didn't know what there was gonna be to do. Totally surprised by this place and it was just really fun. They had...idk 6 or 7 fun rides and it's just like, a small town theme park that was really chill. The staff was incredibly chill right from the beginning. And since there was no entry fee, the prices for the rides were solid. But what really stood out, were two of the employees running the mine shaft coaster. I think their names were...Angie and Destiny. They were truly good natured people that made my wife and I feel safe. Look, for a small town theme park you're not going to find many better than this. The rides weren't adrenaline insanity, but they weren't boring and slow either. I also can't emphasize enough that in general, in my experience, the employees at local theme parks are not the friendliest folks. The staff was very cool, all good sense of humors!! Oh!! And the photos/videos from the rides are actually reasonably priced!! Take that disney (I didn't try this here but did you know that if I was on a 20 person disney ride with you, and during the picture decided to show my man ripple, no one would be able to buy that picture? Yeah, I've ruined a lot of people's vacations). So, I can't speak on the nipple picture policy here (I kinda think it might be ripple neutral...like, not encouraged but not shamed either) but either way it is definitely a fun place to check out.

Terrible experience. This place is a mess. No clear signs on where to buy tickets for which ride. Took us 10 minutes to figure out the right place to buy the tickets and they sold us the wrong ticket set (sold us two adults tickets instead of one adult+one child) after waiting in the line for 15 minutes. Took another 10 minutes to get the refund. 35 minutes passed, just lots of standing, waiting, and confused staffs who didn't know anything we were asking. The main lodge is atrocious and gross. Worst place to be with young children. They sold us the slide tickets, saying it will open around 11am, and then they kept pushing the time. Then they said won't open until 12:30pm?! We gave up and got out the line we've been standing for 40min. 10 minutes later they open the slide?! WTF? I believe this happens every single year. They have no desire improving anything. They just want to squeeze the money out of poor parents. Fuck this place. We will never come back. read more

My friends and I came here for the snow tubing. We went on a Saturday night it was super nice since there wasn't a lot of people. The process to complete the waiver and pay was easy and fast. Since there was no actual snow it was all man made which was still super fun but the snow was getting very slippery as the night continued. Overall I would definitely come back and recommend you to experience this at least once in your life! read more

I wish i could give 0 stars. We went and purchased the snow play tickets since my 3 and 5 year old wanted to play in the snow, but big bear was still pretty dry. Unfortunately, unbeknown to us, there was no snow play area! We payed $50 per person, plus kids ($300+ for the fam) only to find out that there was no snow play area. Our kids werent going to enjoy the tubing, and when we tried to explain this to the cashier, we were told no refunds regardless. This was completely a misrepresentation of what they advertise (again, main attraction that is sold is the snow play area), and did not handle this professionally! read more

Its a rip off. 50$ just for tubing? Seriously. How can kids have fun. Plus the slope was so bumpy there were couple of kids who fell on their faces and ended up crying. read more

This place kind is just sooooo expensive and not worth it. We only came here because neighboring parks were packed and couldn't find parking.

I want to thank Destiny for her professionalism and give her a positive review. Today I went to Alpine slide at Magic Mountain and was in line for the sled coaster and a friend that was with me had a purse. One of the guys that work there was extremely rude and was yelling at her to get out of the line without explaining anything. Destiny was very professional and explained to my friend that she had to go put her bag in a locker and then she could come back. It might not seem like a big ordeal but that was uncalled for so I appreciate her kindness and patience. read more

It's a bit pricey and you can do it all in a couple of hours but my family always has a good time.

A cool spot to visit, their process is to pay for the ride you wanna go on which is pretty cool, until you realize you wanna go again. Staff are okay, not the nicest but not the worst. The food/ snacks didn't seem appetizing but overall a good experience to go on two - three rides and be able to leave within an hour or so. read more

Alpine Slide At Magic Mountain - Parking lot view - Go Karts Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

We just tried the coaster and man what a scam. My kids had been waiting to go in this for months. Please save your money because for a family of 4 you'll spend almost $100 on just 2 coaster rides. They charged us $41 for a double ride for adult & child, it said it should have been $30. Half the ride you're told to slow or stop so we didn't even get a fun experience of a fast coaster. My kid was so disappointed, I wish they did refunds because that definitely wasn't even worth half of what we paid. If you want to go on a lame over priced slow ride with constant stops when advertised as a full fast coaster while overlooking beautiful construction scenery then go for it. Also workers are crap, we weren't given instructions on where to purchase tickets after our bands, they just all stood outside talking to each other while we walked all the way inside looking where to buy the tickets, it's well hidden by the exit of the coaster. My other kid didn't even get to ride as planned because why would I pay $80 for shit experience. So disappointing because we were really looking forward to this during our trip. read more

Avoid. Terrible value to cost ratio. You're required to buy an all-day tubing pass even if you only plan to go a few times, which isn't realistic given the long lines. We've spent about $200, have been here over two hours, and have only managed one run. Our five-year-old was charged full price for being just one inch over the cutoff (while wearing snow boots). Writing this while sitting on the café floor because there are no chairs. Doesn't really matter how this review is answered--no one showed interest in helping while we were actually here. read more

The place is beautiful. Every one working is super friendly. They were very patient and pleasant with my 2 autistic boys to keep them in rides safe and enjoying every moment here. Lindi and Destiny whom I asked their names were amazing. As well as even the ladies on the tickets windows were pleasant and nice. We will repeat the experience and recommend it to our friends with no doubt . Thanks to all staff there read more

Great fun but pricey!!! It's one of the coolest things to do in big bear but it is also one of the costliest as well. Especially for a family of 4. $20 per person for one ride is a bit much.. I think it should be $10 but I dont run the business. Definitely a spot to check out when you are in big bear read more

I had a blast here! This is a must when you visit Big Bear! They have limited rides, $20 per person, but the attractions are unforgettable.

I visited this place on a Saturday morning with a friend, and we had a great time riding the roller coaster twice after signing a digital waiver and buying $20 tickets. The coaster was manually operated at certain points and there was a lift to take us to the top. Since this coaster seats 1 to 2 people (the weight limit is a combined total of 300 plus lbs.) you feel the speed more than a coaster at an amusement park. Also, I thought I was going to fly off at the turns but I wasn't even close to flying off at all so it's ok to go full throttle. It's a great place to take kids for a few fun hours, but there are also plenty of attractions for adults. I highly recommend it! read more

Online says minimum 36" to ride the alpine slide. You arrive and it's actually 38". Thankfully my child is 38", so okay fine we can still ride. Get to the front of the 50 person line for tickets and they ask me how old my child is. I tell them he's 3 next month and he meets the height requirement. They tell me nope, can't go if they're not 3. I tell them it says nothing about an age minimum on their website, and sure enough I go back and check and there's nothing about being at least 3. They say too, bad it says it right here. Perfect, at the very front of the 30 min line that you can't see from the entrance. Came, wasted my time, child was in tears that he couldn't ride. Do better and make the requirements clear. read more
