I seriously had so much fun!!! So worth it. I wish I had more layers than I did on, and warmer socks. Because its outside, was twenty degrees, snowing, its helpful if you have clothing for snow. There was a wait to go down the chutes, but worth it! Total rush and with the snow, was so smooth and not a rough ride at all. Tons of people there with their kids enjoying the ride together. Loved it!

Amazing fun at a great price. The long line moves quickly. All day pass is a great bargain. Moms can sit upstairs and take pictures while staying toasty.

SO much fun! Highly recommend a winter visit here - while we were in line we met a family who drove from Pittsburgh just to check out out. They LOVED it. If you came here years ago and its been awhile - come back! You dont have to carry the toboggans yourselves anymore; theres a conveyor belt that does all the work for you. All you have to do is climb the steps!

My husband, myself and my young son were there on a 45 degree Saturday in December. Re: tobogganing - Before dark, the lines are LONG. Like an hour and a half wait to ride, sometimes two hours. There are only two chutes, and basically one party of up to five people can go at a time. Then you have to wait for those people to slide to the bottom and exit the chute before the next toboggan can go. You quickly realize why the process takes so long. The ride itself is fast, I think you go up to 50 mph or something similar! The chutes are 700 feet tall. Oh yeah, get ready for a glutes workout, there is no lift to the top - you are walking up several flights of stairs! There arent many safety precautions, but I never felt unsafe, even with my small son. Prices were $12/adult and about half that for kids for all-day rides or $6 for one ride. There is a small indoor area for snacks, a cup of hot chocolate, sit down and rest, etc. Nothing fancy, just tables and chairs. There is a bathroom inside and at the bottom of the hill, but there is nothing at the top. I saw they host parties and events, I can see this being a fun kiddie birthday party. Not sure about prices. I didnt give it 5 stars because i feel they could do with some modernizing. Especially, theres no way for physically disabled folks to participate, unless I missed a giant ramp to the top...

This place is an awesome time for the kids and grown ups....be prepared for a little workout though the stairs you have to climb seems endless, however once you reach the top it is soo worth the climb getting to the bottom. At just $12 for unlimited ride for adults is a great price

The Chalet is a very nice place. It is a good place to have food and sit down while there are other activities in the area.

Omg this place is awesome!!!!!! The ride is very fast and the hill is so high. I just wish they had an escalator or an elevator instead of walking up 108 steps. Overall I would definitely go back here and it is amazing.

Really needs a chalet update. Chutes are fun. But food, drink, and atmosphere need much improvement if they want us there more than once per year.

Unique opportunity that all seem to enjoy! I like it even better since they made it so that we don’t have to carry our own toboggan up the stairs anymore several years back. And the free action shot pictures are a great addition!!!

Ive been to this location dozens of times and its always nice. Whether its a tobbagin bday party or a company picnic, its always on point. Its a great outdoor venue Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall. Only thing it could maybe use is a playground for younger kids. Highly recommended.

Review №32

Its a nice venue and parking is free and close to the chalet. The restrooms are clean. A very relaxed atmosphere. Cleveland Metroparks are beautiful. We are incredibly lucky. I would recommend this place but I strongly recommend getting specific location names in order to get accurate directions. The Cleveland Metroparks covers a large area.

Visited with my family on a Friday night the place was clean well lit and the chalet was warm the DJ was doing great playing something for everyone the girls at the snack stand were quick and friendly. By far the best part were the guys working the chute they were doing a great job making sure everyone was safe and riding correctly but you could tell they enjoyed their jobs they all had smiles on their faces (some with face paint too ) and were dancing along too. Our family raced and had hot cocoa and dollar dogs and hung out in the chalet thanks for contrubting to a great family night!!!

The steps are brutal after about 10 runs, but other than me being out of shape, it was a great first time! My 7 year loved it! Luckily, they have a lift for the tobaggons to go back up the hill.

A good way to tire out your kids. When its cold out, you might as well try to find a way to enjoy it. Be prepared to walk up a lot of stairs.

Lots of happy memories. Its nice to see it will maintain and have new attractions to offer the younger generation. I enjoyed the go ape zip line and Adventure Course. In the winter time they have amazing toboggans. Inside the shell way theres concession stand plenty of seating in the summertime theres plenty of picnic benches outside in the winter time one can go inside and warm up.

This place gets busy on nice days. Thus limiting the time you spend riding compared to the time spent standing in line. But it definitely is fun.

This is a real nice adventure. Kind of like a roller coaster for the winter. It goes very fast and my little kids (age four and five) loved it. Only thing I could see to complain about would be the amount of steps and the cold, but I didnt mind it and what do you expect from sled riding?

Good toboggan chutes. There are two wood burning fireplaces, one inside and one out. They sell food inside the chalet and there is a game/lounge room upstairs. Its available to rent the entire place out during certain hours. Its well worth it if you have a large enough group.

Beautiful natural area with a refrigerated toboggan chute. Clearly everyone who rode loved the ride. The biggest complaint was that it was approximately a 2 hour wait. We hope to go back on a less busy day.

Review №77

Extremely screwed up system. Got here at 220 on a Sunday and they use at 5. With the employees knowing it was over an hour wait to go down the hill. They still gladly took the money without informing us how long the weight would be and that we would most likely only be able to go 2xs at the most. They need to inform guest how long the wait will be before taking the money. 2xs for 12$ a head is not worth the wait at all. I recommend the polar blast snow tubing @ brandywine. I will be calling and speaking to the highest up metro parks I can reach in regards to this issue. If you arent here at open DO NOT COME.

Toboggan was rigged, scratched my finger, needs to make Toboggans more safer, 1 star, needs to lower the stairs, get rid of the rock, scary, breath taking, I suggest build walls on to the toboggans.
