About this adventure
For an authentic, budget-friendly winter thrill in DuPage County, head to Mount Hoy at Blackwell Forest Preserve in Warrenville. Rising 150 feet above the surrounding prairie and woodlands, Mount Hoy features an exhilarating 800-foot snow tubing run with scenic vistas across Silver Lake and the snow-dusted forest canopy. Unlike commercial ski resorts with strict height minimums, Mount Hoy is exceptionally family-friendly: there is no minimum height, and adults are permitted to ride in the same tube with children under age 6! Tube rentals are just $10 per tube for the entire day (cash or credit handled at the base). The hill opens on weekends and school holidays whenever there are at least 3 inches of packed snow.
