Snowcat Ridge Alpine Snow Park, billed as Florida's only snow park, has opened for its 2026-27 winter season in Dade City, welcoming guests from today, 15 November 2026 through to 28 February 2027. The attraction offers Floridians a taste of winter sports and snow-based fun despite the state's subtropical climate.

The park's headline attraction is its Snowy Slopes snow-tubing hill, where visitors can ride single, tandem or larger group tubes down manufactured snow-covered lanes. Other attractions include the Arctic Igloo, a temperature-controlled snow dome featuring real snow, snow play areas and a beginner tubing slope for younger children, as well as the Crystal Ribbon outdoor ice-skating rink.

Seasonal attractions such as Santa's Christmas Lane and the Peppermint Play Zone add to the festive atmosphere during the holiday period.

Guests can also visit the park's Alpine Village for food, drinks and shopping, while larger groups can book private heated igloos overlooking the snow park. General admission includes a two-hour snow tubing session alongside all-day access to the Arctic Igloo and Crystal Ribbon attractions. Tickets for opening weekend started from $27.95 when purchased online.

Snowcat Ridge first opened in 2020, meaning the 2026-27 season marks its seventh winter of operation. The attraction has become a unique winter-themed destination in the Sunshine State, bringing snow play, tubing and ice skating to a region better known for warm-weather holidays.
