First and last time coming here! Party of 4. 2 adults and 2 kids. We were charged $57 per person since we were all above the 44inches. Tried to see if we could pay the child price for our youngest (tall parents=tall kids) she was against snow and definitely rather be at home but they would let us. That's ok. The lady ended up charging us for 5 people and while waiting to get a refund (because they just sold out/shut the windows) we had two people fighting over whom we should sell our extra ticket to. Parking was a mess, just one guy telling you where to go and to make sure to park close to the car next to you. We went down the two hills once. It was at least 25 min to go down the smaller hill and about 45min to go down the tall mountain. There's no signs that says no double riding so I felt bad a family couldn't go down after waiting 45 min. They had to be escorted down. Lines at the top is a joke, everyone just squeezing through and not waiting their turn. Finally I went down, that was the worst hill ever! So bumpy and I felt like I was going to fly out. There's no one at the bottom telling people to get up and get out to get out of the way. I ended up hitting an older gentlemen that was just sitting there and I was faced backwards I felt so bad. I sat up in the tube but because of how bumpy it was I did slam myself to the ground in the tube and really hurt my bottom/back. I think this place needs to charge less and make it less crowded. $57 to go down to mountains and play with very limited snow, not to mention 20 minute wait for the women's bathroom and no place to eat because people put their stuff on the tables to hold their spot. We brought our own food since we knew the lines for food would be long and not appealing. Would not recommend this spot.

Great experience! The staff is Amazing! Keep it up Franky, Terry and Amanda!!! They can get really busy but they do their best to accommodate everyone!

Decided to bring the kids to the snow for ski week. The resort opens at 10am and everyone had the same idea of arriving early. There was no one directing parking. The parking lot was a mess and was filled up rather quick. People were making their own parking spots making lanes dead ends and difficult to navigate through unless backing up from the way you came in and hoping no one is behind you. If you are lucky enough to get parking you survived the first obstacle. Second, you have to be sure tickets aren't sold out. We were able to get tickets during their second session at 2pm and killed time by eating in their cafeteria. The lunch rush is at 12pm so either come before or after to avoid the crowd. Not only are you trying to hunt down a table; people will be putting their belongings on the table taking up space. Everyone is out on their own here, definitely no consideration. Food isn't the greatest. They had soup, chicken tenders, fries, chili cheese fries, burgers and a few more options. You order from the counter and are handed a pager for pickup. Condiments are self served. More people left by the second session. There were 2 lines to go tubing. Lines moves quickly. One line was for the thrill seekers above 44" and one was for little ones below 44". Different pricing depending on height. They had a bunch of tubes available to grab and use and a conveyor belt for the convenience of us not needing to drag the tube up the hill. They also had the option of all day play. Staff were all friendly.

Ask the Community - Leland High Sierra Snowplay

Does the venue provide helmets for kids, or do we need to bring our own?

Bring your own gear

What is it like on a super rainy day? The forecast says lots of rain and not sure what to expect but website says they're always open.

They are typically still open. If you don't mind getting a little wet, it's still a fun time. However, if you are not wearing the proper attire, it can be miserable.

Planning to go this Friday. Is someone able to confirm there's snow?

Yes. Dodge Ridge, which is a little lower than LeLands, reported 11" of snowfall last weekend. See report/email I just got the is afternoon.… 

If the tickets are sold out on line is there still a way we can still buy tickets there?

You have to come back at 3 pm for 2 hour pass. They do not let you hang out in the parking lot. I would recommend making sure you have tickets if you are coming from a distance.

Hi, does anyone know if they have snowsuit rentals onsite or nearby?

Only sell shoes, hats and gloves onsite. Not sure of places for rental. Might want to Google that.

Driving up from SF, do u need to put snow chains or use an AWD?

Depends on the day, usually not

Tube Tahoe was an absolute hit for my family. What really made the experience stand out was the…read morestaff. This place has a genuine mom-and-pop feel, the kind where people actually care about the families coming through the door. Bekah at the front desk was the first person who really set the tone. My day had already been a bit hectic trying to coordinate everything, and she calmly helped straighten things out and get us settled in. Lindsay was fantastic out on the hill--super attentive and very protective of my boy's safety, which any parent immediately appreciates. Erik went above and beyond helping my 4-year-old son Sebastian when he was unsure about getting on the tube. That moment meant a lot to me as a parent. The kids working at the top of the hill kept the energy up and made it exciting for my boys every run. Back at the lodge, Bekah and Dee were everywhere helping people out and keeping things running smoothly. Dee in particular seemed to be all over the place making sure everyone had what they needed. Another big plus: they have all the gear you might need right there at the lodge, and the prices are very fair. If you forget something, don't turn around or stress about it--just settle in at the lodge and they'll get you taken care of. Honestly I could keep going, because everyone there contributed to making the day great. I was trying to divide my mind and body managing the kids, but the staff ended up being the glue that held the whole experience together. If you're bringing kids to Tahoe and want something fun, welcoming, and run by people who genuinely care, Tube Tahoe is the spot.

I did not know that I would enjoy tubing this much. Definitely check it out. If you go with your…read morefriends do trains - best is 4 people. Kenzia was amazing helped us a lot. They have discount at and after 3 pm. We were lucky to arrive late and used the discount

First off, be warned... Getting camping reservations here are EXTREMELY HARD to get and very…read morecompetitive too!! Each campsite is for six people and two vehicles only!! I've been camping/fishing/hiking at Pinecrest lake virtually my whole life. It's has always been our family favorite place to camp including swimming, boat rentals, snack shack, lakeside movies, store, restaurant, etc. for five generations, so far. Be warned... EVERY evening, people will shout out "ALBERT" at the top of their lungs for several hours throughout all the campsites. It generally ends between 9-10 pm. So if you have little children that go to bed early, this may be a sleeping problem for them. My ratings for this year's family camping trip (as follows): Everything listed above "5 STARS "; EXCEPT for our campsite bathrooms "1 STAR " located in "Loop B" had absolutely NO POWER (Lights, etc.) at all, especially at night. Potential serious falling injuries may occur. I consider that to be a safety hazard and a potential liability issue. Overall, we generally have a great time camping there with our families. We'll still return again and carryon with our family tradition in the future.

I have been coming here for over 60 years, the last 5-6 years it has changed a lot…read more Most of the below is way worse on the weekend. 1. No dogs allowed on beach, there are dogs all over the beach. 2. You cannot leave pop/ups chairs at the beach unattended, there are pop ups/chairs on the beach at sunrise, some are not occupied until mid or late in the day. 3. People line their pop ups right up to the water side by side, not thinking that anyone on the beach behind them has to walk completely around. 4. It's nearly impossible to reserve a camp site, if you then are lucky to get one, you walk around and you see empty sites everywhere. 5. It's time to replace the bathrooms with the same as the day use, it's been too long. A great family campground, outdoor theater, great hike around the lake, plenty of things to rent at the marina for the lake, store, Serene Bean coffee and the steam donkey restaurant. Don't go on the weekends!

We had a gala of time over 3 days. First day was Snow tubing…read more(they were not open for sledding)... while it was crowded being the 2nd day after the first snowfall of hte season, it was fine. The kicker was that they gave a 50% off Learn to Ski package (cross-country skiing) which saved us several $$$ the next few days. Not only did cross-country skiing was fun (first time for us), the instructors were very patient and effective. The 2nd day I went (on a Monday morning), my group lesson became Private lesson as I was the only on in the class. Even more savings :-) The Warming Hut cafe is a great touch after doing some trails. The food was great here. The tracks for cross-country skiing was kept up. Our entire group (multiple kids and adults) had a great time. Weather was good as well as a bonus.

It was a toss up between BV or Leland's...after reading the reviews for Leland's, I opted for BV…read more It was my kids first time in the snow and I didn't want them to have a horrible crowded first experience. We had to leave early because I wanted to be there close to opening time if 9am, we got there around 10am and there were plenty of parking spots and tubes for the kids to ride. For 6 people, 4 tube rentals for 2hrs it cost me $160. At Leland's I would've paid $240. It was a pleasant experience. The staff was very friendly and seemed genuinely happy doing their job. We had so much fun, the kids were whooped after the two hrs. At first I don't think that two hrs would be enough, but it was perfect. It's an honor system for the amount of time you use the tubes, don't be the one who tries to use them all day. There are a lot of people coming into the park at all times of the mid morning. 2 1/2hes is more than plenty to wear the little ones out. We will definitely be back and would recommend Bear Valley Adventure Co to anyone who has kids.

She never gave us…read moreher name (because she never deigned to speak to us), so I'm going to give you a physical descriptor so others can avoid her, or if you've had a similar experience with this person, I encourage you to leave reviews as well so Yosemite can reconsider having her as a staff member: she appears to be a light-skinned Black woman in her 20s, with locs that are about shoulder-length. She wears dark sunglasses most of the time, and she is overweight, maybe about 5'4 or 5'5. We had several encounters with her both together and separately, and each time she was extremely rude to us for no apparent reason. In one instance, I approached the bike rental and waited politely for her to finish a conversation with a colleague. She never once acknowledged me except to yell at me "EMPLOYEES ONLY" at which point it was her colleague who talked to me and answered my question. She continued to ignore me, not making any eye contact and just standing there while her colleague spoke with me. It was awkward and off-putting, but I put it out of my mind. But then it became a sustained pattern of behavior. In one instance, my cousin went to the bike pick up area to ask bike rental questions. . The rude staff member in question rolled her eyes at my cousin and huffed and puffed under her breath, unprovoked, at my cousin's polite question. She again did not try to answer or talk with my cousin; instead another staff member tried to answer my cousin's questions but also said she wasn't usual bike staff so she didn't know. The rude staff member was there the whole time, and never tried to answer my cousin's questions, even though the rude staff member IS a member of bike rentals because I saw her manning the rentals EVERY DAY. We had a few more encounters with this staff member and she NEVER directly made eye contact with us or spoke to us directly. She would ignore us outright and the only time ever directly spoke to us was to yell at us for trying to ask questions (god forbid I ask a staff member a question). I did notice she answered questions politely and joked around with a group of White guests. I don't know if she has something against Asian folks but I honestly can't figure out why else she would have such an automatic and sustained hostile attitude towards us except for that. If she feels annoyed by doing her customer service job, if polite questions annoy her, she should reconsider her job and go be a ranger on an isolated station or something, and save the rest of us from having to interact with her grouchy ahh.

Only one person at cash register, so the line looks like it could take about an hour to pay. If you get a bike, only one person there too, so you wait another 30 minutes or so to get a bike. If you raft, you need to go 30 minutes early for safety briefing that lasts maybe 5 minutes. They tell you to stop and enjoy the beaches, but get to the raft shuttle back in two hours. We got in the water around 12:05pm and finished around 1:49pm. Then, no shuttle came to take us back until around 3:17pm. That was almost 90 minutes waiting around with kids and no water. Better bring sneakers with you and be prepared to walk back 2.5 to 3 miles to Curry Village. Don't believe Aramark if they say you can also take the free shuttle. The families left stranded by the raft shuttle waited 90 minutes for those too. Most of those were so full, they only took two of the 30 people waiting at the four mile stop, or drove past without stopping. The shuttle driver didn't have a phone or radio. Customer service from the contact us page was no help. They called back after 30 minutes, then put me on hold for another 15 minutes. The manager Skye wouldn't talk to the families who were left stranded. She sent four other people (two at the shuttle area and two in Curry Village) to talk to us, but not help us. They wrote down her email address and told us to email her.
