Strongsville Chalet Toboggan giveaway!

This giveaway is now over.  Congrats to Amanda who was randomly selected.  Please stay tuned for more “Winter Family Fun” giveaways!

Hey locals!  As part of my “Winter Family Fun” series, I’m bringing you another awesome giveaway!

As a child my adventure-loving father would take us to The Cleveland Metroparks, Chalet in Strongsville, Ohio just about every winter.  I just loved to zoom down that chute with the wind in my hair!  Back then we my dad would have to carry the toboggan up the steps but new this year is a toboggan lift, so no heavy lifting is necessary.  Of course there are still a lot of steps to climb, but think of all the exercise you’ll get!

The Chalet in Mill Stream Run Reservation, which was the first refrigerated toboggan slide IN THE WORLD,  is conveniently located between Routes 42 and 82 in Strongsville, Ohio.   The two 1,000-foot refrigerated ice chutes operate with or without snow through mid-March, weather permitting.

Hours of operation:
Open through March 9, 2014 (Weather permitting)

• Thursdays (January [excluding January 2, 2014], February and March): 6 – 10 p.m.
• Fridays: 6 p.m.–10:30 p.m.
• Saturdays: Noon–10:30 p.m.
