The Chalet at Mill Stream Run Reservation Toboggan Chutes

About this adventure

The Chalet in Mill Stream Run Reservation is home to Ohio's only refrigerated twin toboggan chutes, delivering heart-pounding winter excitement regardless of natural snowfall. Measuring 700 feet in length with a thrilling 70-foot vertical drop, riders reach speeds up to 50 miles per hour on specialized heavy wooden sleds pulled up via automated lift systems. The refrigerated ice surface operates from late November through early March with advanced cooling pipes preserving the icy surface in temperatures up to 50°F. Families with children meeting the 42-inch height requirement can experience tandem runs together down parallel tracks. After exhilarating runs, visitors retreat inside the cozy heated Chalet lodge, featuring a roaring stone hearth, video arcade games, hot cocoa, hot dogs, and warm pretzels. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Paved parking lots connect via ramped walkways to the main Chalet lodge; strollers can navigate the viewing deck and lodge interior, though the chute launch tower requires climbing stairs. • Nursing & Rest Spots: The multi-level heated timber chalet offers warm fireplace seating, indoor picnic tables, and clean family restrooms with diaper-changing stations. • Age Suitability: All ages are welcome to visit the Chalet lodge and grounds; toboggan chute riders must be at least 42 inches tall and wear required gloves. • Sensory Tips: Energetic, adrenaline-filled winter outdoor activity with whooshing wind and cheering crowds; warm up inside the quiet stone-fireplace lounge for sensory decompression.
