Just in Time for Winter Break: Expanded Hours at Toboggan Chutes

Cleveland Metroparks'  have expanded hours through Jan. 1.

Here's the schedule:

Dec. 21, 22, 23 -- Noon to 10:30 p.m.

Dec. 24 -- Noon to 4 p.m.

Riders climb aboard a traditional wooden toboggan, but that's where the tradition ends. The twin refrigerated ice chutes are approximately 700 feet long with an initial vertical drop of 70 feet for a fast, thrill-producing ride. 

The chutes operate with or without snow. Riders must wear mittens or gloves.

After the holidays, tobogganing hours return to:

Thursdays - 6 to 10 p.m.                  

Fridays - 6 to 10:30 p.m.                       

Saturdays - noon to 10:30 p.m.                       

Sundays - noon to 5 p.m.                                   

Daily admission is $8 for adults and $6 for children ages 11 and under, which inlcudes unlimited rides. One-time ride tickets are also available for $3.       

The season runs through March 11, weather permitting. Call 440-572-9990 for more details.
