    Now is the perfect time of year to enjoy fall colors in Cleveland
    Metroparks on a leisurely hayride.




                   
    The Fall Hayrides continue on Saturday nights, October 16, 23 and
    30 from 6 to 10 p.m., and Sunday afternoons, October 17, 24 and 31
    from noon to 4 p.m.  Visitors climb aboard haywagons at
    the Chalet Recreation Area for leisurely rides through the
    beautiful fall colors of Mill Stream Run Reservation in
    Strongsville. 



    The public, tractor-drawn hayrides are offered on a first-come,
    first-served basis, and leave approximately every
    half-hour. 



    In addition to the hayrides, everyone can enjoy other free
    activities, including square dancing fun for all ages, scavenger
    hunts, a hay maze, and a face-painting and balloon-twisting
    clown.



    On Sundays, free bonus activities include Pumpkin Carving 101
    with Professor Patty Pumpkin, a pumpkin painting station, live
    animals, Ranger demonstrations, NatureTracks outreach vehicle, and
    free treat bags for kids, 11 and under, dressed in Halloween
    costumes (with a paid ticket).



    And, on Sundays, October 17 and 24, enjoy free entertainment
    with "Haystack the Scarecrow," and on Sundays, October 24
    & 31, enjoy free special Halloween games and
    activities. 



    Plus, ClevelandStateUniversity's Street Team and mascot
    "Magnus" will be at the Chalet Hayrides on Sunday,
    October 24 with games and activities for kids to play, too!



    The public hayrides are just $7.50 per adult and $5.50 for kids,
    ages 3 to 11. Kids, ages 2 and under, ride free on an adult
    lap.




                   
    A limited number of private hayrides for group outings are also
    available on October weekends.  Wagons can be rented for
    outings like school trips, senior outings, family get-togethers, or
    informal business gatherings.  Advance reservations are
    required for all private hayrides.  Each wagon accommodates
    approximately 20 people.  The private hayrides are held
    before, during and after the public outings on Saturdays and
    Sundays.    The cost for private rides is $145 per
    haywagon.  Visitors can also enjoy "dayrides" on
    Fridays, October 15 and 29 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.  The
    "dayrides" cost $85 per haywagon.  Private rental of
    the Chalet Recreation Area, including hayrides, is also available
    throughout October during non-public hours.




                   
    The Chalet Recreation Area is located at 16200 Valley Parkway in
    Mill Stream Run Reservation, between Routes 42 and 82 in
    Strongsville - just a short distance from I-71 and the Ohio
    Turnpike.



    For more information and to make group reservations, call
    440-572-9990.




                   
    Experience a fall tradition enjoying fall colors on "Fall
    Hayrides" in Cleveland Metroparks - part of your
    life, naturally!
