*** NOTE FOR 2026 RENTALS***
The Chalet renovation and expansion is happening in 2026. We will host rentals again in 2027. Applications may be submitted now for 2027.
*** END UPDATE***
The Thom Storm Chalet at Chester Bowl Park is a fantastic location for birthday parties, graduation parties, weddings, and other group activities. The expanded and renovated Chalet is now fully accessible with an elevator going to all levels.
Chalet rentals cost $100 per hour for the time of your event. You will also have one hour before your event for setup and one hour after your event for cleanup at no cost. There are additional charges and restrictions for events with alcohol.
The main chalet space seats about 80 comfortably. With the renovation still in progress, we are still finalizing the furniture plan, but tables and chairs will be available. The rentable space also includes the concessions stand, which functions as a small kitchen prep area (fridge, freezer, sink, microwave, and counters, but no stove or oven), and a meeting room on the main level. Lower Level restrooms are available to your group. The area outside of the chalet will also be reserved for your group, with access to power, water, and picnic tables (seasonally). Park space in Chester Park beyond the area immediately around the Chalet must be coordinated with the City of Duluth. Rental and contact information is found at this link.
Are you a non-profit looking for a space for meetings or retreats? Non-profit meeting use is only $25 per hour.
Also, we offer private ski hill rentals! Rates start at $600 for a two hour private rental of the entire hill, with lift operation included! Some restrictions apply, so please contact us to learn more about this unique opportunity. Alcohol is not allowed during private ski hill rentals.
For information about any of these options, and to check availability, please contact Joel at joel@chesterbowl.org or the office at (218) 260-7200. After connecting with Joel, an application and payment is required to reserve your date, and you can download the form here.
