Winter Family Fun: Strongsville Chalet Toboggan Giveaway!

January 27, 2014 by racheljk 46 Comments

Strongsville Chalet toboggan giveaway

 

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.
  • Sundays: Noon–5 p.m.

Ticket prices:

  • Adult (all-day ticket): $10
  • Child 11 and Younger (all-day ticket): $8
  • One-Ride Ticket: $4
  • School and College ID Night – Thursdays, $7 with school ID

Rules and Regulations:

  • Children 11 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.
  • All children must be at least 42 inches tall to ride.
  • All riders must wear gloves or mittens. (Heavy gloves recommended)
  • Cleveland Metroparks is not responsible for injuries or personal property.
  • No outside food or beverage permitted inside Chalet building
  • Ticket sales end one hour before closing
  • Riders must carry toboggans to the top of the hill, in the event the toboggan lift is not operation

Even on cold days, The Chalet is a great place to visit as there is a large indoor area complete with seats and concession area.  This area is perfect for warming up in between your rides or for those in your group who would rather watch.

One winner will receive a 4 pack of tickets to use this season at The Chalet Toboggan in Strongsville, Ohio!  You can enter once per day!  Good luck!

Sled Riding Hills in Northeast Ohio!

January 7, 2013 by racheljk 1 Comment

One fun and frugal idea to do in the winter is to head to a nearby sled hill!  Whether you are looking for a bunny hill or a death defying ride you’ll sure to find many different hills in northeast Ohio.

One of my favorites in Lorain County is Cascade Park.  Since this hill was within walking distance to my home growing up we were there often during the snowy months.  While flying down the hill was always such a thrill I clearly remember the all the steps going back up.   I’m betting now as an adult the stairs would seem even longer 🙂

Another favorite was the Chalet Toboganning Chutes in Strongsville. While there is a fee to ride down one of the two chutes, their prices are reasonable.  You can even warm up in their indoor area with a cup of cocoa.  This is definitely a must see activity in Northeast Ohio.

To find a complete list of Northeast Ohio sled hills hop over to Find Time for Fun.

The city was buzzing last night! Not only was @shu The city was buzzing last night! Not only was @shuckedmusical at @playhousesquare but there was a @cleguardians game and a @cavs playoff game! What a gorgeous evening to enjoy our vibrant city!  🌽 After dinner, we saw @shuckedmusical musical and y’all… it was a-maize-ing!  From the moment the curtain rose, I was all ears. The jokes were corny in the best way, the cast was pop-pin’, and the music? Straight up buttery smooth.  Big shoutout to the writers for not husking around with the humor—this show shucks in all the right ways. I laughed, I teared up (maybe from the laughter), and I left the theater feeling like one happy kernel.  Whether you're a theater buff or just stalk-ing a good time, go see Shucked. It’s a-maize-ing and I’m not ear-itating when I say that.  It's at Playhouse Square through May 11th!  #hosted #BroadwayCleveland  #ShuckYeah #psqdistrict #ShuckedTour
[ad] Last night, we flew to Neverland! 🧚‍♀️🌟
My sister and I had the BEST time seeing @peterpanthemusical at @playhousesquare and it was pure magic from start to finish! The sets were stunning, the flying scenes were jaw-dropping, and the cast brought all the nostalgia and wonder to life in the most heartwarming way. 💫  From the moment Peter soared onto the stage, we were hooked (pun intended 😂). Captain Hook was delightfully dramatic, the Lost Boys were hilarious, and Tinker Bell? Totally stole the show. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, laughs, and just enough fairy dust to make you believe in magic again. 🏴‍☠️✨  🎭 If you’re in Cleveland, don’t miss it — Peter Pan is only in town through April 13th at Playhouse Square! Grab your tickets and take the whole fam (or just treat yourself). You’ll leave with a smile on your face and a little more belief in “never growing up.” 💚  #PeterPan #PlayhouseSquare #broadwaycleveland #NeverGrowUp #PlayhouseSquare #PeterPanOnTour
🗽 I had the BEST weekend in NYC with my son, wh 🗽 I had the BEST weekend in NYC with my son, who’s all grown up and living the college life!  He chose everything we did!  We stayed at the @aurahoteltimessquare which is literally steps from Times Square, so we kicked things off with the bright lights and hustle of the city. First stop: the American Museum of Natural History @amnh. We spent HOURS there and STILL didn’t see everything – definitely need to go back! 🦖✨  We took a stroll through @centralparknyc on a chilly but sunny day and climbed to the top of the Belvedere Castle. 🏰 Then, we went to an incredible concert at @townhallnyc where the orchestra played music from one of my son’s favorite video games. 🎶 Bonus: He got to meet the Grammy award winning artist @crosenmusic who arranged the music.  After the concert we grabbed dinner at a local Irish pub @thelongroomnyc and listened to live music. We even met some new friends from Brazil! We stayed out ‘til the wee hours chatting and having way too much fun!. I can’t wait to visit them soon in their part of the world. 🌍  Our last day included some sightseeing, delicious food, and a little shopping spree. The Nintendo and Lego stores are two must visit destinations if you have kids!  One-on-one time with my boys is always the best. It's so fun seeing him as an adult and sharing in his interests. From exploring the city to sharing laughs and new experiences, these moments will last a lifetime! Can’t wait for our next adventure! ❤️  #NYCWeekend #MotherSonAdventures #TimesSquare #CentralPark #MuseumDays #ConcertVibes #IrishPub #NYCFun
