Warm sweaters, cozy socks, crisp air and fresh apple cider. The
only thing missing is an idyllic ride in Cleveland Metroparks on a
haywagon! Every Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon in October,
see the changing leaves while riding in an old-fashioned haywagon
at the Chalet Recreation Area in Strongsville.
Tractor-Drawn Hayrides
The tractor-drawn hayrides are offered October Saturday nights
(October 6, 13, 20 and 27) from 6 to 10 p.m. and Sunday afternoons
(October 7, 14, 21 and 28) from 1 to 4 p.m. Don't hurry home after
the ride is over. A hay maze is also available, as well as
additional family entertainment. Plus, Saturday nights, enjoy
do-si-do-ing at square dancing for all ages! And on Sundays, enjoy
other traditional fall activities such as pumpkin painting (for a
nominal fee) and crafts and coloring stations will also be
available. Rides are offered on a first-come, first-served basis,
and leave approximately every half hour. The hayrides cost $8 for
adults, $6 for children, ages 3 to 11, and free for children 2 and
under (must sit on adult lap).
Private Hayrides
Private hayrides are also available before, during and after the
public rides for $150 per wagon and can fit 20 to 25 people.
Private �dayrides� are also available at $95 per wagon and are
perfect for outings such as preschool trips, senior and family
picnics or business getaways.
Horse-Drawn Wagon Rides
On Sunday, October 21 from 4 to 7 p.m., listen to the clip-clop
of horses' hooves on special Horse-Drawn Hayrides. The special
horse-drawn hayrides are $12.50 per person for a half-hour ride.
Gather friends and family together for a leisurely ride through the
park. Sip on hot cider or hot chocolate and enjoy a snack while a
horse-drawn wagon trots through the idyllic scenery of autumn.
Horse-drawn rides are by reservation only and space is limited.
The Chalet Recreation Area is located on Valley Parkway in Mill
Stream Run Reservation, between Routes 42 and 82 in
Strongsville.
