At Newmilns Snow & Sports Complex a birthday becomes kinetic: families and groups take exclusive control of a tubing track for a focused, 50‑minute block of guided sliding, then decamp to a party hut for an hour of food and conversation.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE PARTY

Group‑first celebration

The Tubing Party is built around groups — you can bring up to 20 people (the operator recommends at least 11) and the session gives your party exclusive use of the tubing track so your group has uninterrupted runs.

THE RIDE

Fifty minutes of instructor‑led sliding

Your booking includes 50 minutes on the slope with a friendly instructor on hand for a safety briefing and to help everyone get the most from their runs.

THE HUT

An hour to regroup and celebrate

After tubing you have an hour in the party hut — there’s a kettle and microwave and you’re welcome to bring food or a cake to personalize the event (regular candles are allowed).

What the day feels like

What the session actually feels like

The session moves in two clear parts: a focused, instructor‑led 50‑minute run on the tubing track where the group has exclusive access to slide together, followed by an hour of relaxed, private use of the party hut where you can warm up, eat and celebrate.

Frequently asked questions

Planning Your Outing

Do you provide food or a birthday cake?

No — the operator does not provide food or cake, but you are welcome to bring food on the day or deliver it the day before; use of regular candles is fine.

How many people can I invite?

The operator recommends a minimum of 11 and a maximum of 20. Your party will have exclusive use of the tubing track, but inviting more than 20 will reduce run opportunities per person.

Is there a deposit to pay?

The operator requires the full amount to be paid at the time of booking.

What is the minimum age for tubing?

The minimum age is 3; anyone 5 years old or younger must slide with their supervising adult. Due to insurance changes, children under 3 are not permitted.

Do adults need to stay for the party?

Yes — at least one adult must remain at the party per 10 children. More adults may be required to help carry tubes for very young children. The instructor supervises the slope but does not remain in the party hut, so an adult must supervise children there.

Can spectators access the tubing surface?

No — spectators are not permitted on any white ski or tubing surface and must follow site signage and use the spectator areas identified by staff.
