Ride the Rails

WEB header NEOLS 2021

 

COME RIDE THE RAILS!

New Date:  Saturday, September 24 • 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm
3654 Lester Road, Medina

RESCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 24 DUE TO WEATHER

 

YES! We will be visiting the Northeastern Ohio Live Steamers train yard again. We are excited to see you!

Kids (and adults) of all ages love trains. Register today and reserve your time to enjoy a unique train riding experience with us at the Lester Rail Trail in Medina. Each miniature train section holds 3-4 people and the ride is approximately 15 minutes. It winds through the meadow, woods and by various miniature buildings, small bridges, and a station house. There are even railroad crossing signs at the various intersections.


At this time, there are no COVID restrictions planned for this event; however, each family should do what is comfortable for them when interacting with groups of 50 people outdoors.


Is there a cost for the event?
Cost is $25 per family and each family member enjoys:

  • 1 Hour Session with...
  • Train Rides
  • Hot dog, chips and a drink
  • Train related crafts

 

Do I need to reserve a time?

To create an autism-friendly atmosphere with small crowds and low wait times, we ask families to reserve a time slot for train rides. Families are able to ride multiple times during that hour. Not open to the general public.

Time slots available at 12:00pm, 1:00pm, 2:00pm and 3:00pm with the event closing at 4:00pm. Availability in each slot is limited to 15 families, so reserve yours today!

 

Things to Consider:

  • Dress for the weather and bring sunscreen
  • Bathroom is Portapotty located near parking
  • Food sensitivities? Not a fan of hotdogs? Feel free to pack your own snack
  • Picnic tables available - bring blanket to sit on the ground if desired

 

Questions?
If you have questions, concerns or need financial assistance, please email Jane Fitz. Limited scholarships are available.
