Day Out with Thomas at Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad – Tickets Still Available

May 22, 2014 by racheljk Leave a Comment

Day Out With Thomas Cleveland

**Want more deals?  Find me on Facebook and Twitter!***

Last weekend my family headed out to  Day Out with Thomas™: The Thrill of the Ride Tour 2014 at The Cuyahoga Valley Railroad in Peninsula, Ohio. Our family visited Day Out With Thomas last year so we knew we were in for a real treat.

My three year old Jackson is enamored with all things train related, especially Thomas the Train so he was beyond excited for the day to finally arrive.  Or course he had to wear his Thomas the Train hat and shirt for this special occasion.

Our Train ride was scheduled for 1:30 and since we arrived an hour early (as the ticket suggests) we were able to enjoy some of the festivities before our train took off.  My oldest son, Noah remembered the magic show from last year and wanted to head straight to that tent while my other boys were most interested in the three jump houses.

On top of memorable train ride with Thomas, Day Out with Thomas offers an area where kids can play with train tables, color pictures, get temporary tattoos, hear a story, and grab a snack.   There is even live kids music and a HUGE electric train table complete with a Thomas the Train car.  Don’t forget your camera as there are so may picture taking opportunities throughout the day.

When it was our turn to hop on the train, by boys were brimming with excitement.  They loved getting their tickets punched by train worker and receiving their train certificates on board.  With the about 30 minute train ride, you have more than enough time to enjoy the scenery, listen to Thomas music and spend time chatting about your favorite Thomas characters.

Champagne dreams, flapper dresses, and a night for Champagne dreams, flapper dresses, and a night for Broadway in Cleveland? Count me in! ✨🥂  Last night we stepped back into the Roaring Twenties for media night at @bwaygatsby at @playhousesquare!  My sister and I snagged our 1920s-inspired outfits and made a whole evening of it. We started with happy hour at @encorepsq, the stylish bar right across the street from Playhouse Square, which had the perfect swanky Gatsby vibes. I love their happy hours specials too! Then we grabbed a quick dinner at Sushi En before heading into the theater.  And wow... this show is BIG Broadway. Think stunning costumes, gorgeous sets, incredible choreography, and all the glitz and glamour you'd expect from Gatsby. The production is visually spectacular and brings the lavish world of Jay Gatsby to life in a way that feels larger than life. If you love classic stories, dazzling performances, and a little Jazz Age sparkle, add this one to your summer theater list. ✨🎭  The Great Gatsby is playing at Playhouse Square through June 28 as part of the KeyBank Broadway Series. Tickets are currently still available and can be purchased by calling 216-241-6000 or online at playhousesquare.org.  Who else loves a themed night out? 🍾  #thegreatgatsby #BroadwayCleveland #BWYCLE #BwayGatsbyTour
🎭 Did you know you can take a FREE behind-the-scen 🎭 Did you know you can take a FREE behind-the-scenes tour of @playhousesquare? 🎭 Everyone needs to add this to their Cleveland bucket list!  Free public tours of Playhouse Square are offered on the third Saturday of every month, and they're packed with fascinating history, hidden details, and stories you probably never knew. You'll learn how this incredible theater district went from nearly being demolished in the 1970s to becoming the largest theater restoration project in the world.  Did you know that Playhouse Square is the second-largest performing arts district in the United States, behind only Broadway in New York City, with 12 performance venues throughout the district?  One of my favorite parts was getting to see everything up close and in detail without the usual crowds. From the stunning architecture to the behind-the-scenes stories, there were so many things I've walked past for years without realizing their significance.  If you've ever attended a show, or even if you haven't, I highly recommend taking this tour. It's a whole new way to experience one of Cleveland's most iconic treasures. ❤️  Have you ever taken a Playhouse Square tour? Be sure to tell a friend! 🎟️👇  #PlayhouseSquare #ClevelandOhio #thisiscleveland #CLE #clevelandevents
Another Put-In-Bay giveaway coming soon! ☀️ Summe Another Put-In-Bay giveaway coming soon!  ☀️ Summer is officially here, and what better way to celebrate than a girls' day at Put-in-Bay! 🚢💙  We hopped aboard the @millerboatline for a scenic ride to the island and rented golf carts from @esputinbay to explore all the fun spots around the @visitputinbay island. Did you know you can save money when you book them together? Check out the E's Golf Cart & Miller Ferry Put-in-Bay Discount Package when you reserve at least one day in advance!  One of the reasons we love Miller Ferry is that it's the most affordable way to get to the island, and it's the only ferry that lets you bring your car. Plus, E's Golf Carts is conveniently located just around the corner from the Miller Ferry drop-off.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous! We spent the day shopping, cruising around the island by golf cart, enjoying lunch at The Keys, relaxing at the little beach on the tip of the island, and taking a short hike to soak in the views.  Put-in-Bay is such a fun destination for both groups and families. If you're bringing kids, be sure to check out the highly rated caves on the islands, play a round of putt-putt, visit the Lake Erie Islands Nature & Wildlife Center, and stop by the Butterfly House for a colorful, family-friendly experience. (I usually just avoid the downtown area on weekend evenings if I'm visiting with kids.)  Who's ready for an island day trip?  #putinbay #MillerFerry #GirlsTrip #OhioAdventures #LakeErieIslands
🦖 My niece, brother, and I had a ROARing good time 🦖 My niece, brother, and I had a ROARing good time at  @gocmnh on Sunday for DINO DAY! 🦕✨  A big thank you to @realgoodfoods for inviting us to this fun family event! We explored the museum, checked out life-sized dinosaurs, enjoyed hands-on activities, crafts, face painting, and interactive exhibits throughout the day. They even gave away COUPONS!!  Of course, one of the highlights was sampling Realgood Foods' dino chicken nuggets! I personally eat Realgood chicken - there is always a bag in my freezer. It is high protein and low carb! I eat a lot of chicken and I'm picky with my brands, but I enjoy this treat when I need something fast and tasty!  It was such a fun day filled with dinosaurs, learning, and making memories together. 🦖❤️
