On April 24 at 6:30 PM, the adventure begins as our Western Locomotive adventure departs from Akron Northside Depot for one grand evening on the rails. For two lively hours, you’ll ride in comfort as the spirit of the Old West rolls through the train—no dusty trail required.

Each ticketed event offers its own style of fun, so you can choose the experience that suits your group best. Planning a bold night out with friends? We’ve got just the thing. Bringing along family for games and thrill as you ride through the frontier? There’s an option for that, too. Same train. Same night. Same departure. Entirely different ways to enjoy the journey.

Expect laughter, a touch of frontier charm, and maybe even a bit of wild-west mischief along the way. Whether you’re raising a glass, enjoying great food, or simply taking in a memorable night on the rails, this two-hour ride is sure to leave you smiling long after the final whistle.

Seats won’t last long—so round up your crew, choose your preferred experience, and secure your spot before it rides off into the sunset. Join us for an incredible evening on the rails! 

 

Ales on Rails: Locomotive Brews

Pair hearty rail-inspired appetizers with a curated selection of craft beers from local favorite McArthurs Brewhouse. Sip and sample a lineup of brews that celebrate bold flavors and small-batch craftsmanship while enjoying the scenic ride. Whether you’re a seasoned beer enthusiast or just here for the lively onboard atmosphere, this experience blends delicious bites, great beer, and a classic rail adventure.

 

Perfect Pairings: Frontier Flavor Pairings

Perfect Pairings is a flavorful evening where handcrafted cocktails and creative cuisine come together on the rails. Enjoy a three-course small-plate tasting—appetizer, main course, and dessert, each thoughtfully paired with a signature cocktail. Sit back, savor each pairing, and enjoy a relaxing culinary journey as the train rolls through the countryside.

 

Murder Mystery: Outlaws & Alibis on the Rails

Step aboard for two hours of intrigue, suspense, and interactive fun in this Old West–inspired mystery adventure. As the train rolls through the countryside, professional actors bring a tale of secrets, rivalries, and unexpected twists to life. Work with fellow passengers to gather clues and uncover the truth before the final whistle blows. Snack boxes are included for this thrilling onboard experience

 

Game Night: Wild West Roundup

Looking for a family night or date night that’s more exciting than the usual dinner and a movie? Step aboard for Game Night on the Rails, where friendly competition meets a classic Western locomotive adventure. Pick a board game from our collection, gather your crew, and play as the train rolls through the scenic Cuyahoga Valley. Team up with family, challenge your partner, or make a few new friends along the way—bragging rights included. No screens. No stress. Just two hours of games, laughs, and frontier-style fun on the rails.
