Pull Up an Inner Tube for a Dive-In Movie

Celebrate the halfway point to the holidays with a showing of Elf on the big screen at Ledge Pool in the Cleveland Metroparks Hinckley Reservation July 20 at the first Dive-In Movie of the season.

Doors open at 8 p.m., and the show will start about 8:45.

Visitors can bring something to sit on and enjoy the movie for free from a spot on the lawn, or view the movie while relaxing in rented inner tubes in the heated Ledge Pool.

Inner tubes are available to rent at $5 for a single tube and $7 for a double tube.

Reservations for the inner tubes begin July 6. Advance registration to rent the tubes is required, with a limit of four inner tube rentals per family.

Guests 8 and younger must be accompanied by an adult in the pool at all times. No outside flotation devices are permitted.

Refreshments are available at the on-site Ledge Rock Café concession stand.
