Tubing & Water Park Overview

At Helen Tubing & Water Park, you’ve got plenty of options for how to spend your day on a budget you can afford. For those who are running a bit short on time, you might want to just go with a single tubing pass for just $3. The cost of admission gets you a tube, a life vest, a shuttle ride, and the tubing adventure of your choice. You can pick from the short run, which will take about 1 – 1.5 hours to complete, or the long run which takes about 2 – 3 hours. If you and your family really love tubing and have the time, you might consider picking up an all day tubing pass for $8. The best value is to purchase admission to the water park for $15 which will provide you with access to all of the park’s attractions, as well as tubing on the ‘Hooch. Free shuttles pick up visitors at the water park every 15 minutes, so when you’re done enjoying the water slides, you can head out to the river for a spell.

Tubing in Helen, GA is a one-of-a-kind experience that everyone will love. No matter how old or young you are, you can enjoy the relaxing sensation of floating peacefully along the river as you pass through trees and are able to observe the gorgeous northern Georgia scenery. When you’re done with your ride, you’ll feel refreshed and renewed.   The water park is worth the visit, as well. For those who aren’t crazy about the idea of getting into the real river, a 1000 foot lazy river is available inside the park. There are 4 different water slides for you to check out, all of which are over 50 feet tall for extra thrills. Brand new to the park is a 25 foot rock wall, and your kids will be crazy about the park’s airbrush tattoos. If you’re feeling hungry, concessions are available so that you can fill up before getting back in the water.

Family Friendliness

Helen Tubing & Water Park is great fun for kids (and adults) of all ages! That makes it a perfect choice for spending the day playing and bonding with your whole family. Children must be at least 42 inches tall in order to race down the park’s slides, but toddlers will have

fun playing in the lazy river (it’s only 2 feet deep), tubing with Mom & Dad on the ‘Hooch, or playing on the dry playground. Lifeguards are always on duty at the park during hours of operation, so you can rest assured that you and your kids will be safe throughout the day. Even those who don’t want to get wet can enjoy watching the rest of the family in the water. Rocking chairs are set up under a shaded pavilion so that you can relax, enjoy the breeze, and take in the sights and sounds of the park. There’s something for everyone to love!

Planning Ahead

Whenever you’re planning on spending a day in the sun and water, it’s important to take the time to make sure that everyone in your group is protected with a waterproof sunscreen for safety. If you’re coming to the water park with kids who aren’t potty trained, you’ll need to show the park that the little one is equipped with a “swimmie” diaper that’s specifically designed for the water and a waterproof plastic cover for the diaper. Both of these items can be purchased in the water park’s store once you arrive. Be advised that dogs are not allowed in the water park, so if you’re traveling with your pooch, you’ll need to arrange to have him stay behind at the cabin or send him to doggy daycare. Water shoes aren’t required, but are recommended to protect feet in the river, and as the concrete around the pool can get hot during the day.
