Located in Dade City, the alpine park is home to a massive 60-foot-tall, 400-foot-long snow tubing mountain like never seen before in Florida. 

Floridians can now experience a true snow day and go racing down the slippery slopes again and again.

Don't worry about the trek back up the hill — A “magic carpet” lift carries snow tubers back to the summit.

There's also a 10,000-square-foot play dome filled with real snow where you can build snowmen or get in a snowball fight.

The park has an Alpine Village where you can escape from the snow and warm up with a cup of hot cocoa.
