Firsthand View

We drove up from Louisville for a weekend trip and really enjoyed Cuyahoga Valley National Park. It’s an easy, relaxing park to visit scenic without feeling like you have to do a big hike to appreciate it. The highlight for us was the scenic train ride. It was the best part of the trip and a really nice way to take in the views without rushing around. If you’re going on a weekend, expect some crowds, but overall it’s a great quick getaway. # Independence # Ohio

Love coming to multiple different themed events at CVSR and always leave with more knowledge about their historic train cars from their amazing volunteers! Love the community it brings together and all the different cars, we especially enjoyed the Mardi Gras event.

Joshua T

Took a ride this week from Peninsula, totally worth it if you get the chance! Great experience for kids and any train lovers!

Jeanne G

It's an interesting way to view the National Park. You can bring your bike, take the train into the park, then ride your bike back to your car via the Towpath Trail.

We had a fun time with our kids and grandkids. Highly recommended.

Great experience on the train hopping on different parts of the trains for different views. The dome cars were my favorite. The workers are friendly and very informative
