Celebrate Christmas in July

The spirit of Christmas lasts all year round at Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad! We invite you to celebrate the season early with our Christmas in July excursions! CVSR is hosting new Christmas in July experiences to enjoy an afternoon of holiday fun with the family!

Celebrate the spirit of the season with a sunny adventure aboard the train with Santa! Our family-friendly Christmas in July excursions run July 21 – 22 and July 28 – 29. On this hour and a half long train ride, families will play summer bingolimbo, and the hula hoop freeze dance! Kids will have an opportunity to write Santa a letter, because even though Santa may be on vacation, he still checks his list! Santa will even pay a visit to families! Each passenger receives a cookie and one non-alcoholic beverage. Tickets are available for seating in our table car or in the St. Lucie Lounge car. The train departs at 3:40 p.m. from Peninsula Depot. The train will return to Peninsula by 5:30 p.m. Tickets and more information here.

Looking for a special date night dinner? Ring in the season a little early this year on July 27 with our special Christmas in July Dinner Train. Enjoy a delicious Christmas themed dinner, catered by Creekside, as you take in the sunset over Cuyahoga Valley National Park! The train departs at 5:40 p.m. from Peninsula Depot. Tickets and more information hereRecommended for ages 14 and up. No children’s meal available.
