There can be a whole lot of negatives about winter in Wisconsin, but one of the best things about all the snow is how much it invites you to act like a kid again. Tucked just west of Milwaukee in Lowell Park, there's an old-school toboggan run that's just waiting to help you have an incredibly fun day. This thrilling spot may just be the best toboggan ride in Wisconsin.
Though anyone can buy a plastic sled or tube and hit any local snow-covered hill, tobogganing is not only nostalgic, but rather rare. There's something about climbing those steps and cozying up with your friends on that narrow run that make it well worth the affordable cost to try it. And if you go during Waukesha Janboree you can toboggan for free! Learn more about this favorite local event on its website.
Located in Lowell Park in Waukesha, this toboggan run is 350 feet long and is illuminated with lights when the sun goes down.
There are two runs and lines move quickly. If you need to rent a toboggan, the price is only $10 for an hour. If you happen to have your own, then you can purchase a daily pass for $9.
Sleds can be rented or brought from home and multiple folks pack on them to make the experience more fun.
Kids and adults alike love this winter slide in Wisconsin, as it allows everyone to feel a bit like they're flying.
The lights on the track mean those early onset winter evenings don't have to mean an end to the fun.
The runs can be rented for private parties and I'm starting to wish I had a winter birthday just so I could have celebrated here.
The long tobaggan makes this a great family activity and helps solve the problem of having enough sleds and kids fighting over the "best" one. At this toboggan park in Wisconsin, every ride is the best.
There are other hills in the park for regular sledding, so mix up your visit with a few climbs up the toboggan run before hitting the other slopes.
Hours vary with the holidays and snow fall, so make sure you check in with the Waukesha Parks Department before trekking out there. Generally, this winter slide in Wisconsin is open Saturdays and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. All the toboggan run information can be found here.
