There are many ways to view the beautiful city of Cincinnati, and all of them should really be experienced at least once. You can take a walking tour, climb to the top of Carew Tower, or walk along one of our bridges to witness spectacular views of the city - all of them equally eye-catching. However, if you're looking for a new and unique way to take in the Queen City, check out the Ohio Rail Experience and its Oasis by Daylight trip in May. This daytime train ride route is typically only crossed in the evening, so this particular ride gives you a rare view of Cincinnati before the sun goes down.
The Ohio Rail Experience offers a number of fun rides throughout the Buckeye State all year long, but this spring, they are offering a rare opportunity to ride the rails through an urban stretch of Cincinnati.
Most locals have heard of the Cincinnati Dinner Train, and perhaps even enjoyed a meal and a ride aboard it. The route it takes is typically done in the evening and after dark, but this Oasis by Daylight Tour takes you along the same route in the middle of the day.
This particular ride takes place on May 26th, 2019 at 10 a.m. and is four hours long. During that time, you'll travel from Bond Hill, through Evendale, and into downtown Cincinnati before heading back to the station.
This unique excursion includes a combination of urban areas, neighborhoods, and scenic views, but the entire ride is worth sitting near the window.
You can choose between a Deluxe Class seat, shown below, or a Coach seat, both of which are comfortable and historic. If you want a touch of luxury, choose the Deluxe option for its reclining seats and large picture windows.
Don't worry about being hungry or thirsty while aboard the train, as a variety of food and drinks will be available for purchase. You'll want to visit the bar car for a change in scenery and to grab a drink and a snack.
The Cincinnati Dinner Train is a must-try experience for all Cincinnatians, but this unique daytime ride is worthy of a spot on your weekend schedule. Tickets are available now via the website linked below, so check it out and get ready to climb aboard an exciting train excursion in Cincinnati.
