Our main boarding stations include the Akron Northside Station, Peninsula Depot, and Independence Station, offering convenient access points throughout the Valley. Complimentary parking is available near these boarding locations for guest convenience.
Guests traveling in Coach seating are also permitted to hop off the train at these depots, as well as at the Brecksville, Boston Mill, and Indigo Lake Depots, to explore the surrounding area and enjoy the park at their own pace before reboarding. If you plan to step off during your ride, we strongly encourage you to pay close attention to the train schedule to ensure you return in time for reboarding.
