Snow Tubing in Ohio December 26, 2022 Sarah M. What are some other fun winter activities in Ohio? An addition to snow tubing at the largest resort in Ohio, here are some fun ways to embrace the cold-weather season in the Buckeye State:

Tobogganing at The Chalet in Mill Stream Run Reservation. Take a toboggan ride this winter at The Chalet in Mill Stream Run Reservation in Cleveland, Ohio. The twin, 700-foot refrigerated ice chutes operate with or without snow through late February, weather permitting, and are a seasonal rite of passage for all Ohio kids – young and old. Medina Ice Fest. Every winter, the streets of downtown Medina are transformed into Ohio’s very own winter wonderland for the Medina Ice Festival. For four glorious days, the streets of downtown Medina become a veritable winter wonderland worth bundling up and braving the cold to experience.

Chasing Frozen Waterfalls at Ohio’s National Park. Tucked away in northeast Ohio between Akron and Cleveland, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is home to some incredible hiking trails, natural wonders, and even a scenic railroad. It’s arguably the crown jewel of the Buckeye State and a place worth exploring every season of the year. Spanning 33,000 acres, this park is a vision when blanketed with a fresh flurry of snow, its natural features and wildlife all the more beguiling within this real-life winter wonderland.

Cincinnati Zoo Penguin Parade. Going to the Cincinnati Zoo when it’s cold is magical — you see lots of animals that you wouldn’t normally get to see. Bears! Big cats! And penguins. Lots of penguins. During the Zoo’s annual “Penguin Days,” these little tuxedo-clad creatures are the stars of the show. Special encounters and reduced admission are all well and good, but nothing compares to the penguin parades that happen from January through March. Stargazing. The cold, clear skies of winter make the stars shine all the brighter, and there’s no better place to marvel in the infinite universe than Ohio’s Observatory Park. This Ohio destination has the rare distinction from the International Dark-Sky Association as being a Silver Tier Dark Sky Park – one of just 77 in the entire world!
