Green Acres Recreational

The streak is broken.After 48 years of living in the upper Midwest, I finally went snow tubing for the first time ever this winter at Green Acres.True to the song, Green Acres is the place to be.I don't have anything to compare it to, but I had a blast! (Provisionally, I'm giving it 4 stars, in case there is a 5-star tubing place out there.)It's a bit of a free-for-all: grab your own tube (of various sizes), grab the rope (wear gloves!), let go, find a clear spot (no lanes!) and fly down the hill and look back up to avoid other tubers as you head back to the tow rope.Not quite a free-for all: they separate single riders and chained riders, for safety. I appreciate this. Also, you'll need to pick a predetermined two-hour block of time before you go.Two hours of tubing was more than enough, by the way, even with a warming break and a bathroom break, you'll go up and down the hill many times and be wet and tired by the time you're done."Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside!" Well played, Oliver Wendell Douglas!

This was an awesome experience I loved it so much and the contraption going up was so cool except it is a little hard for me to get off the rope pulling you up cause when I went I fell off and slammed my head into the ice but otherwise it is my favorite thing to do in the winter I definitely recommend it

Fun family owned tubing hill, a toe rope makes getting up easy for kids, prices are reasonable, but no kid rates. The only down side is they have two hour windows, which means the most you can intertube is two hours. Still a fantastic time!

They have an awesome giant hill, no lanes, no strict rules! Love it here. There's a rope that automatically brings you up as long as you hold tight & are laying belly down in your tube. There's also a more kid-friendly hill. Great warming house with several food options to choose from.

If you're looking to go snow tubing please DO NOT go to Green Acres in lake Elmo. My family had fun but I had to force myself to have fun so I don't ruin everyone else's mood. We initially reserved for 20 people, 12 ended up showing up because of other circumstances. I inquired to only pay for 12 but they said we have to pay for all 20 because that was their policy. I inquired if they can just resell the 8 tickets because it's going to waste. They even called me at 11:08am saying that if I don't confirm their text then they're going to resell ALL our tickets...why couldn't they resell those 8? The manager says it's in the policy. I could not find the policy anywhere and asked if they could show me and I'll close my mouth and walk away. They had a waiver which says nothing about it. I again inquired as to where I can find the policy that says I have to pay the remainder. The supervisor responded with " the policy is the text I sent you and I'm not going to argue with you about this, you can either leave or go out there and have fun." Supervisor couldn't even confirm to me that it was an actual policy and got defensive when I kept inquiring about it. I simply crumpled a piece of paper and walked away. What was supposed to be only $80 for me my wife and two kids stacked up to $240. Not professional and left very bad first impressions that they only care about your money. Clerks were younger and good sports. Not wasting another cent on Green Acres. First and last time.

Being new to Minnesota, going snow tubing was on my list of things to do in the winter. With a friend in town we went here and had an absolute blast. I'm 35 and felt like a kid again! Great facilities, friendly staff, and a good value. What else can I say except I can't wait to go back.
