On Saturday we woke up early to try the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.

After Several Weekends of Sick kids and Rain, We really didn’t feel like hanging around the house waiting for the weather to clear up. So On Thursday we went to the CVSR Website and ordered tickets. We wanted to see the whole route so we purchased the Scenic Explorer, starting from Rockside station at 9:00. Couple of Points:

  • This was early. So early there were few people on the train. Since the cars were comfortably air-conditioned and each had their own bathroom, It was really comfortable and pleasant
  • The Northside Akron Station is a lot closer and the train leaves at 10:30. However, the train did fill up quickly here and with bikers along the trail. We overheard the Conductor’s talking about the ticket agents overselling tickets for later in the day. Get there early.
  • The Bikers: CVSR is running a special this year. The train will stop at any station along the trail and you and your Bike can get on for $2. We saw lots of families taking advantage of this.
