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.

🦖 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. 🦖❤️

The food was AMAZING! I’m still dreaming about it! The food was AMAZING! I’m still dreaming about it! 🤤 What a steal too!  If you’re looking for the perfect date night, this is it 💕
The @interconcle is celebrating their 80th anniversary and for just $80 per couple, you can enjoy a full multi-course tasting menu every Friday, Saturday & Sunday evening. 🙌  My husband and I spent the evening at @tbl45 inside the InterContinental Hotel Cleveland… and it did NOT disappoint.  We each ordered different items so we could sample everything (highly recommend doing this 👏). We tried both the salmon tostadas and the elote corn ribs, both were delicious, but that corn?! WOW. The grilled corn ribs are topped with cotija cheese, chipotle aioli, tajín, and cilantro… and you can taste every single flavor. Seriously… drool-worthy!  For entrées, my husband had the skirt steak, tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. I stole a few bites and it was melt-in-your-mouth good. I ordered the arroz con pollo and the grilled chicken thighs were so flavorful and juicy.  And dessert? We both loved it! I still can’t believe this also includes two perfectly crafted cocktails (you can choose from two options!).  Two drinks, two appetizers, two entrées, and two desserts… for $80 total 🤯 YES PLEASE.  Right now it’s a Latin American menu, and the themes rotate throughout the year, so you can come back again and again for a brand new experience every time.  Go ahead and reserve your table… and make it a date night to remember 💕  📍 Table 45 at the InterContinental Hotel Cleveland
📅 Every Fri, Sat & Sun evening
💰 $80 per couple  📞 Reserve at 216-707-4045 or OpenTable  #intercontinental #clevelandfoodie #clevelanddatenight #clevelandcontentcreator #hosted
Still thinking about last night at @playhousesquar Still thinking about last night at @playhousesquare … and honestly, I don’t think I’m over it yet.  @outsidersmusical is not your typical musical. It’s gritty, emotional, and pulls you right into the story of Ponyboy and the Greasers, fighting for belonging, identity, and survival. Based on the iconic novel and the classic film, this production brings a whole new layer of life to a story so many of us already love.  And it absolutely earns its hype! This show is the winner of FOUR Tony Awards in 2024, including Best Musical 👏  The rumble scene in the rain? It’s intense, powerful, and one of those moments where the entire theater just leans in. So well done!  But what really stayed with me was the emotion behind it all, the friendships, the struggles, and that deep need to belong.  There’s something special about nights like this that remind me how lucky we are to have Broadway performances right here in Cleveland ❤️  If you’re thinking about going… GO.
This one sticks with you.  #broadwaycleveland #bwycle #OutsidersTour
