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 food was AMAZING! I’m still dreaming about it! The food was AMAZING! I’m still dreaming about it! 🤤 What a steal too!  If you’re looking for the perfect date night, this is it 💕
The @interconcle is celebrating their 80th anniversary and for just $80 per couple, you can enjoy a full multi-course tasting menu every Friday, Saturday & Sunday evening. 🙌  My husband and I spent the evening at @tbl45 inside the InterContinental Hotel Cleveland… and it did NOT disappoint.  We each ordered different items so we could sample everything (highly recommend doing this 👏). We tried both the salmon tostadas and the elote corn ribs, both were delicious, but that corn?! WOW. The grilled corn ribs are topped with cotija cheese, chipotle aioli, tajín, and cilantro… and you can taste every single flavor. Seriously… drool-worthy!  For entrées, my husband had the skirt steak, tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. I stole a few bites and it was melt-in-your-mouth good. I ordered the arroz con pollo and the grilled chicken thighs were so flavorful and juicy.  And dessert? We both loved it! I still can’t believe this also includes two perfectly crafted cocktails (you can choose from two options!).  Two drinks, two appetizers, two entrées, and two desserts… for $80 total 🤯 YES PLEASE.  Right now it’s a Latin American menu, and the themes rotate throughout the year, so you can come back again and again for a brand new experience every time.  Go ahead and reserve your table… and make it a date night to remember 💕  📍 Table 45 at the InterContinental Hotel Cleveland
📅 Every Fri, Sat & Sun evening
💰 $80 per couple  📞 Reserve at 216-707-4045 or OpenTable  #intercontinental #clevelandfoodie #clevelanddatenight #clevelandcontentcreator #hosted
Still thinking about last night at @playhousesquar Still thinking about last night at @playhousesquare … and honestly, I don’t think I’m over it yet.  @outsidersmusical is not your typical musical. It’s gritty, emotional, and pulls you right into the story of Ponyboy and the Greasers, fighting for belonging, identity, and survival. Based on the iconic novel and the classic film, this production brings a whole new layer of life to a story so many of us already love.  And it absolutely earns its hype! This show is the winner of FOUR Tony Awards in 2024, including Best Musical 👏  The rumble scene in the rain? It’s intense, powerful, and one of those moments where the entire theater just leans in. So well done!  But what really stayed with me was the emotion behind it all, the friendships, the struggles, and that deep need to belong.  There’s something special about nights like this that remind me how lucky we are to have Broadway performances right here in Cleveland ❤️  If you’re thinking about going… GO.
This one sticks with you.  #broadwaycleveland #bwycle #OutsidersTour
