We’ve visited here a couple times... specifically, the tubing park. It’s fun for both kids and adults, and your admission includes the tube rental. When we went, it was unseasonably warm; almost 50 degrees in February. This meant that the only snow was made by their snow-making machines... it was soft and slushy, but the tubing was still a good time. They have a tow-rope/ski lift to pull you back up the hill each time which was fantastic. There’s a concession stand at the top which sells hot chocolate, coffee, snacks, etc.We’ll go back again, it’s fun.

Love this little place! Yawgoo is amazing for beginner skiers who are looking to either learn the ropes or practice their basics for the season! I personally start off every season here for my warm up! The prices are pretty affordable too!

All the staff I encountered tonight was very friendly. I was in Faiths lane and she explained the safety procedures of going down the hill. The place seems very organized. Will share my experience with my friends.

Small town ski area with a snow tubing section as well as a water park in the summer = awesome.

Not much of a water park i paid 70$ for 3 people to get in. One of them was a toddler. And there was 2 pools and 2 water slides lol thats it .

It’s pretty cool to see this kind of place in RI. The only thing that they should add is a terrain park to help people learn how to do cool things.

Oh what a blast! At first I didnt think Id have that much fun snow tubing, but I did. I actually love how well organized they are. I appreciate the time slots and limited tickets. It was not over crowded. No incidences. Theres a small lodge to watch, and it was inexpensive. Definitely coming back.

Nice place to take the kids for water sliding and use of the pool for a short time. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely will be back with friends.

As long as youre aware that this is in RI hence there are no really big mountains, this place is great!

OK, everyone. This one is hard to rank. If you are deciding between Yawgoo or Loon, go to Loon. Having said that, this is a great place to spend time. Learning to ski or board, spending time one morning or evening with friends or family, this is a great place. They try hard to make snow and usually do a great job if the weather cooperates. The food is good and the bar produces reasonably priced drinks. I have not spent time there in the summer but plan to this year.

Great slides and atmosphere Yawgoo is a great facility it is very clean and professional the list goes on amazing staff and a well kept clean swimming pool( which is rare nowadays) If I could give 10 stars I would. Overall just a great place! And there snow tubing is also very organized and fun for the whole family I would recommend this place to anyone!

Wonderful day with old friends at one of my favorite places. Yawgoo 2019 ski patrol refresher !!

Me and my friends have so many good memories here at the water park. I’ve never skiied here but the water park is great. There’s two slides, a long one, and a shorter one. The lines could be big depending on what time you go at. The food is okay but I recommend that you bring some lunch from home. Also, there is a pool near the seating area. Great place and fun to spend a day during the summer.

My 5 and 3 year old are learning to snowboard. This place is perfect. Its close by and small enough for them to navigate. The lodge and amenities are great for such a small place.

I reviewed their website before I went with my son which was very helpful. All the information I needed was on the site and they put the schedule up when they have big parties. I founded little pricey for 2 hrs of swimming but if adults taking their kids and they are not going in the water didnt have to pay made up for it. People who were working there were also polite and attentive as we were coming in and leaving.

Went to order tickets for tubing and they were sold out 3 days ahead? I guess the whole state went that day , this was going to be my first visit sad to see the very limited availability i guess looking for another park is a better option wont be recommending this place to anybody at all.

Love love this place. A great location to go with the family and have a lot of fun. Lots of rules but definitely safe for all ages. They have a lift for the sleds that you can ride in. And a ski lift for the ski and snowboard area.

As a ski resort, it is small, best for kids and beginners. The kids love it!!!As a lifelong(above average) skier, it is boring. Drop the kids and go tubing!!The water park is also small, but its fun!! The smaller tube is perfect for smaller kids!! The larger tube is perfect for those looking for a little more speed!! Its the perfect detination for a couple hours of summer fun. The prices are reasonable, and they have hourly rates.Overall, it is a nice place all around, dont expect too much, and you will enjoy yourself.

Love this place for the kids.. though, sometimes the lines can be a little wait..It has little snacks, food, drinks which are perfect if you plan to spend a few hours.. Good for babies even with the large kiddie pool.. May not go as much this year, as, the prices are steep once your child is past age 4.

Amazing!!! Goes so fast! I highly recommend it to adults & children. The only thing I dont agree with is having 50 minutes. At least make it an hour.

Kids love this

Great place to bring your family. Snow board and ski rentals are easy to use. No long lift lines.

Not too much for a water park. A large pool and a couple slides. I remember as a kid, though, having a BLAST with my cousins going up and down those slides all day. It is all enclosed into 1 smaller area with only 1 main exit, so it is easy to keep an eye on the kids. They have a lot of lifeguards keeping a look out and they are very watchful.Never been skiing here so I cannot comment on that part of this business. But I have gone tubing in the winter and it was a WHOLE lot of fun. I am a 29 year old adult and would totally do it again.

Eat there weekly, always good and fair prices!!!Even for the veggie burger!!!!

Went to Yawgoo water park on a rainy day. There were only a few of us there but the staff was really nice and stayed open so my son and a friend could use the park for an hour. They had a good time and enjoyed there was no lines

So, weve spent a winter getting acquainted with Yawgoo via lessons for the kids and some recreational outings, and I have to say I am impressed. Now, its not a huge mountain (and Ive skied mountains all over N.E. and out west), so anyone expecting something comparable and then complaining about it needs to get realistic. I think Yawgoo has done an exceptional job carving out interesting trails on what essentially is sloping terrain into a valley. The trails are varied and enjoyable .. and they are great for beginners to intermediates to work on technique. In fact, I am actually surprised at how many trails they offer. Now their black diamonds are not comparable to bigger resorts, but for beginners, theyre challenging enough and a great confidence booster. I am also impressed with how the staff keeps the place open. This winter - 2018 - has been mild with lots of rain and 40F days, but Yawgoo continues to keep most of trails open, and in good shape. Whoever is in charge of trail maintenance is doing a great job. Lastly, the lesson program. The lessons are fantastic for any level, especially newbies. Theyre well organized, the right size as far as student to teacher ratio, the instructors are great, and the facility really caters to families. We plan on sticking with Yawgoo for some time with lessons and season passes. Its really a great place to ski in Southern RI ... remember that, youre skiing in Southern Rhode Island. If you live in the area, its pretty special that you get to drive a short distance and get some skiing in at an enjoyable and affordable place.

We love snow tubing here every year. The staff have a fun attitude and its a great value. There are 5 slides usually open and very little wait because they limit the number of people who can go at one time. Havent skied here yet, but thats next.

We had fun its kind of pricey but not really I mean its pricey for us because theres five of us and $20 a piece for 2 hours is $100 but we had fun I mean I wish there was a few more slides and less people or maybe if there was a few slides more they wouldnt be such long lines like we waited in line the first time for 20 minutes just to go down the slide one time because they had the camp there so I would suggest a day that maybe call before and make sure the camps not there but we still enjoyed the day we packed a lunch for a cooler but we just wait until our two hours was up and then we sat at the picnic areas in ate

Went with grandkids and we all had a great time!

I took my daughter and her friends and they had a blast

Loved it! Clean, cool water, slides are great for kids. Please be advised though that adults close to 200 pounds will be traveling approx. 4000 mph at the bottom of the slide, especially the longer slide. Catches you off guard the first time.

Fun place to tube a lot

Great place to teach young ones

I checked this place out back in the 90sas an experienced skier I found it to be very much a beginner hill and not much more.This hill claims to have 280 ft of vertical but it skis more like a (flat) 150 ft vertical and the proud Mary chairlift was very old and slow so unless you are snowplowing your way down,you will spend most of your day on this chair as most of the short trails of this terrain can be descended with just a few turns.The only great thing is,its a ski area in Rhode Island!

Very cold went to winter special Olympics great time dinner &dance afterwards wonderful

Ive loved coming here since a child at summer camp!!!! Lots of parking!! Clean pools & two fun watersides!! Clean bathrooms and friendly staff!! They have food and area in the shade to eat!!! Highly recommend it!!

The tubing park is great and only $13. Its a great way to spend and hour with your friends. Staff are fun and happy to allow groups of three or four tubes go down at once ! Especially on icy days, they can spin your tube really fast if youd like. They do great private groups too.

This place is great for winter and summer fun!

It easy to get too. Always making snow. Survives the rain well...and great for kids. Staff that work there know how to have fun.

Fun little local mountain. Prices are good, staff is always excellent! The trails right now are better than they were mid season last year!

The place is an amazing place . The instructors are amazing ,They have lots of patience. We went with a group and everything went well.

So fun we go every winter

Not a large mountain, but an awesome Ski Area, with several trails and an awesome staff. If you want to learn how to ski, Yawgoo is one of the best places to learn. If you live in the Rhode Island are and want to enjoy some fun in the snow visit Yawgoo

Great family place. Not a mountain by any stretch but perfect for beginner skiers and kids.

The runs are fine... but some of the staff were extremely unprofessional. One of the employees that was unhooking tubes simply screamed at little kids to get out of tubes. Another employee brought a couple of his friends directly to the front of the lines. Very disappointing.

Totally ripped me off. They let me buy a $26 ticket without once warning me about there only being 2 slopes open and how bad the terrain was. I was appalled that they would even open on a day where the slopes were so bad let alone sell tickets at $26 so I went to the ticket booth and asked for my money back. The ticket woman just laughed at me and told me the best she could do was give me a voucher to return for free on a later date. This sounded fair to me but once I got home I read the voucher and it said it was only viable until the end of the season... which was 2 days away. And wouldnt you believe it rained the next two days? So I pretty much gave them $26 and got nothing back but a laugh in the face and a useless piece of paper. I never plan on returning and I highly encourage anyone reading this to venture to other places such as Wachusett or Powder Ridge as an alternative for skiing/snowboarding because Yawgoo is nothing but a headache.

TERRIBLE!!! You cant get in. Poorly managed and all youll get is a sorry. Dont waste your time. Tubing is the worst! You would think with the amount of good days they have they would be more pleasant and accommodating to their patrons. Buy yourself a tube and find a good hill.

A family run resort that is a great resource for RI. It is small, so you probably dont want to drive a long distance to get here. But if you live in RI and want to get out on the sloops this is the spot to be!

Its hard to rate this place. Its almost silly-small. For advanced skiers and riders, it feels like one turn between the top and bottom. Still, when I was first learning advanced snowboarding, there was a feature here I practiced on. It prepared me for some of what I then did at Breckenridge. For beginners, its good and bad. There were nice instructors. The rope tow, though, is your baptism. Right after a good 10-inch storm, I head down there just to get on the snow and feel freshies. The do make some snow and have a tubing park.

I, personally, havent skied here since I was a kid. However, my 7 year old daughter loves it. The staff is very helpful and friendly, its an excellent place for starters and those who want to knock some rust off. Also, lets not forget the AMAZING tubing hill they have. We try to go all the time, unfortunately they are only open weekends.

Fun times and close to home! It was a warm day but there was still plenty of snow on the tubing hill

Prices at decent lines are a little long at times but not terrible! Overall good experience. Needs a dressing/locker room!

Yawgoo is a great little place where you can go to as a beginner or a pro. Although small, the trails are fun and the lodge feels very homey.

I took my nephew to Yawgoo after growing up on going to the water-slides and having a blast.Positives-Good in-ground pool-Not a bad priceNegatives-A bit dated- hasnt changed since I went 15 years ago.-The lifeguards and slide supervisors didnt seem to care too much about anything.**Important**- The kids had a good time on the water-slides but one of the main reasons I am writing is because of my experience on the larger of the 2 slides. I laid down on the slide (per sign direction) and after taking a second to get going, I started flying down the slide. Long story short, I was going so fast that I got turned around and hit my head on the slide before entering the pool. Luckily I am okay, but after I got out of the pool neither life guard came over to check on me. In addition, I watched several adults come down the slide and look as though they were going to fly off the slide coming around the corner. If you weigh more than 150 pounds I would HIGHLY suggest sitting up while going down either slide to prevent possible injury.I am not one who usually writes reviews, especially ones that are negative but I feel obligated to warn people about how potentially dangerous these water-slides can be and the general lack of care by the guards.

Very fun-Small ski place

Tubing is tons of fun!!!

Very good going again

Fun to go with friends for an hour or two

Has a nice skiing and snowboarding area, and a fun place to tube, and then you can come inside, buy a cheaply priced hot chocolate, and hang out by the fire! And in the summer, you can go on one of the cool water tubes!

Small but well worth the money!

According to my grandsons it was awesome!

We loved the tubing hill!

Its a really cute layout - cozy little lodge - but the skiing is terrible! maybe for snowboarders its ok. the green trails are too steep and interrupted with harder trails - the rope tow operates poorly. I would be terrified to go on the chairlift....sorry, nice idea, but doesnt feel safe.

Great place for people interested in winter sports but need practice.

Its a good place to meet up with ur friends and ski and snow board with them

Went there with a large group of about 10 people. It was a nice idea, but it is not worth $13 for a 50 minute session that you spend about 40-45 minutes waiting in line and climbing the mountain. The conveyor they have makes it so that you dont have to climb up, but if you are fit enough to walk up a hill, you can easily outpace the towing line. If you live close to Exeter, then it may be worth it. However, the 40 minute drive from Cranston tipped the scales unfavorably.

Snow tubing is amazing. Everyone had a blast

Only ski park in RI so it does the trick . However small hill and high prices . overall enjoyable

Good place to learn to ski. However it is pricey on weekends and vacations. It is too small a facility to charge that much.

Dont underestimate yawgoo for its size. It can be just as fun as any old mountain up north as long as youre with the right people. I can stay from 8:30 in the morning to 9:00 at night and still want to ride more. Also, management is very reasonable and friendly there. Usually you can spot Clay, Steve-o, or Jack (some of the operations managers) greeting people or taking care of things around the slope. I took lessons here about 6 years ago, not knowing how to even ride down a small hill. Now I am very cabable on the various features that are put out and switched around every week or so. Most of my good friends I met at yawgoo over the years.

So much fun

Fun day with the grandkids, will visit again

A very easily accessible mountain to use and everyone was very friendly

I ski here and its great for new skiers its little but it has great training services

CLOSE, FRIENDLY, INEXPENSIVE, FUN, FUN, FUN!

Son fell staff was great with him and it was much appreciated!

Did snow tubing at the tubing park. Great fun !

Great place for kids, they really had a blast on the water slides

Great little local ski area, perfect for beginners or a day out with family

Sooo much fun!

Had a great time

BEWARE AND CAUTION. Lax, careless staff fails to properly watch pool area right below the water slide -- a kid sliding down could easily crash into swimmers who should be exiting right away; rather, staff lazily look on -- paying more attention to the Liquor Bar (which oddly serves as the main entrance) as children continue waterplay in the retention pool with watersliders zipping down feet first. Asked if staff and lifeguard could find our child because he hadnt come down the slide for a long time; staff replied with Go find him yourself because we cant find him. Plus its not like they can go far or that anything can happen to them. The lifeguard even admitted that staff at top of slides should be watching children and properly look for a missing child; then next thing I know the lifeguard simply departs, leaving an unguarded pool/slide area. Saw this reckless hell within 15-20 minutes of arriving here. Spoke with one Katie (Agianis?) and requested the manager: She replied, Well shes not here . . . Shes kind of here and there. Last time we ever subject a child to this risky nightmare of an operation run by a fellow named Max Dewardener.

Tons of fun

There are better options for skiing and snowboarding

Tons of fun, great for kids, very friendly staff.

Not the best place to ski. The black levels are more of a blue level easy rating and there are only 4 paths.

Great local place, small, but fun.

What a great local ski hill for the family!

Superb experience. Must go to place.

Great for family and young kids great place to learn to ski

Horrible costumer service, went snow tubing and got kicked out 10 minutes before our time ended

Snowboarded for the first time here, slopes seem ideal for a beginner.

Lots of fun, my family goes every year.

Iam So pissed. we got there and realized we had to buy tickets onlinewhich is so stupid!

Good place to learn how to ski!

Lots of fun. Can be very busy.

Nice place to go without long lines. Prices are a little steep

Had a good time staff friendly

Enjoyable day with grandkids

Fun skiing but water park is ok
