Join Cleveland Metroparks for a touching tale of a dolphin named Winter at Cleveland Metroparks Dive-In Movie, featuring the movie �Dolphin Tale� on the big screen.
Learn more about Winter and the boy who befriends her on Friday, July 19 at 8 p.m. at Ledge Pool & Recreation Area in Hinckley Reservation in Hinckley Twp.
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 5. Advance registration to rent the tubes is required, with a limit of 4 inner tube rentals per family.
Doors open at 8 p.m., with the �Dolphin Tale� movie beginning approximately 8:45 p.m.
�Dolphin Tale�
- This movie is inspired by the amazing true story of a brave dolphin and the compassionate strangers who banded together to save her life. After catching her tale in crab trap, Winter severely damages her tail. Without a tail, Winter's prognosis is dire. It will take the expertise of a dedicated marine biologist, the ingenuity of a brilliant prosthetics doctor, and the unwavering devotion of a young boy to bring about a groundbreaking miracle--a miracle that might not only save Winter but could also help scores of people around the world.
Space in the pool is limited, so be sure to reserve an inner tube. Reserved inner tubes must be picked up by 8:30 p.m. that evening, or they will be released for rental.
Visitors, 8 and under, must be accompanied by an adult in the pool at all times. No outside flotation devices are permitted.
Refreshments are available through the on-site Ledge Rock Caf� concession stand.
Ledge Pool & Recreation Area is located at 1151 Ledge Road, between State and Kellogg roads in Hinckley Reservation in Hinckley Township.
