Three tubing lanes open this year, with additional COVID-19 protocols in place

With weather conditions allowing for ample snow making at Titletown, Ariens Hill is set to officially begin this winter’s tubing season at 4 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 18.This year’s tubing hours and admission prices are available at titletown.com/events/recreation/tubing. For the first time this year, Ariens Hill will include three tubing lanes, along with social distancing markers in place for guests waiting in line. Visitors should note that Titletown has enhanced its COVID-19 protocols to help guests and visitors stay safe. Including the required wearing of masks for every person over the age of 2 at all times throughout the park unless actively eating or drinking, including while skating and tubing.Other new procedures aimed at limiting spread of the virus include reduced ice rink capacity to maintain physical distancing, frequent sanitation of rental skates and tubing equipment, and no lockable storage lockers available this season.To avoid having large groups inside the Admissions building, guests are also now asked to complete their tubing and skating waivers at home or before visiting at Titletown.com/waivers from their computer or smartphone. Each adult (18+) must complete their own waiver, with every adult able to add up to 10 minors per waiver. A new waiver must be completed for every visit, unless the visitor has a season pass. Following completion of the waiver, guests will receive a QR code for them to scan upon check-in and payment at the Admissions building. To minimize wait times, an Express Entry tent north of the ice rink will now be offered for tubing and skating admissions on weekends for those who do not need skate rentals. Season passes are now available in person at Admissions and require a one-time waiver, which can be completed online in advance at titletown.com/waivers and one-time payment for each pass-holder.For info about planning your visit to Titletown and what to “Know Before You Snow,” please visit titletown.com/events/recreation/know-before-you-snow.
