HoursWINTER ONLY — the Snow Fort is built from snow each winter and does not exist in summer. It stands at the Dercum Mountain summit next to Adventure Point during lift operating hours in the ski season (2026-27 season opened Oct 30, 2026; the fort is a mid-winter build — exact 2026-27 fort opening date Not confirmed on official pages fetched 2026-11-05). Kidtopia village activities run through the winter season; summer has a separate village programme.

PricesFree to explore; reaching the summit requires lift, season-pass or scenic-gondola access.

Price notesVail Resorts' own Kidtopia announcement states the Snow Fort 'is free to guests with lift access' — the fort itself carries no admission charge, but it is NOT reachable without paid mountain access, so priceVal is null rather than 0.

Age notesOfficial family page: Kidtopia is Keystone's free family-fun programme — daily free activities including the Giant Snowball Launch, Bigfoot Adventure Walk, Village Parade and the world's largest Snow Fort (tunnels, slides and mazes, per the official teens guide). No numeric age band is published; bands reflect the child-focused programme design. The fort sits at 11,640 ft — altitude note for very young children.

BookingNo reservation for the fort itself; the gondola/lift access used to reach it is ticketed.

Suggested timeAbout 1 hours

AccessibilityNot confirmed on official pages fetched.

ParkingFree parking in the River Run Parking Lot (official tubing confirmation page); ride the River Run Gondola up.

Seasonal notesStanding flags from collection (resort family pages): Kidtopia is billed by the resort as 'Free Family Fun' with daily free activities (Giant Snowball Launch, Bigfoot Adventure Walk, Village Parade, and the Snow Fort). The Snow Fort is a mid-winter build and its 2026-27 opening date is NOT confirmed. Access caveat families miss: the summit Snow Fort requires paid lift/gondola access to reach, even though the fort itself is free.
