Winter Wonder Cleveland

Based on similar concepts in New York, Los Angeles and other major cities, Winter Wonder Cleveland houses 10 larger-than-life installations all designed as photo backdrops for groups of families and friends. Open daily, the attraction at the Hamilton Collaborative Building features a replica set from a holiday movie, a giant swing that projects you out on a pendulum over the Cleveland skyline, three Olympic-style curling tracks where you can try your hand at the quirky Canadian sport, an enormous ship that sways and rocks as if it is in the middle of the ocean, a mirrored holiday tree room and other displays that combine appealing winter imagery, great lighting, group challenges and subtle nods to some favorite holiday movies and traditions. The event is priced variably for peak and non-peak times, and kids are always discounted. Groups seeking a private event such as a holiday party or team-building event can always be accommodated and are encouraged to inquire on the website. The pop-up opens today.
