Ohio’s Friendliest Train Robbery Adventure

Just discovered this hidden gem near Columbus—a theatrical train ride where you get "robbed" by bandits (with fake gold & blanks fired!). Perfect for families or anyone craving quirky Midwest charm! 🚞 The Experience 2-hour scenic roundtrip through Hocking Hills (sit on the left side for best honeysuckle-scented views!) Gold transport plot: Outlaws "hold up" the train with comedy skits & photo ops with their horses 🐎 Super wholesome: Staff/actors are hilarious, animals are sweethearts (very kid-friendly!) 📍 Logistics 📌 Hocking Valley Scenic Railway | 33 W Canal St, Nelsonville (1hr from Columbus) 🎟️ $25/adult | Book online, arrive 30min early to collect tickets & "robbery cash" 🚂 Seats: First-come-first-serve (back cars = less crowded) 🌙 Bonus: Stop by John Glenn Astronomy Park on the way back for stargazing! 🔭 ⏳ When to Go Runs twice monthly with seasonal themes (fall = ghost stories 🎃) #OhioAdventures #UniqueDateIdeas #ColumbusWeekend #TrainRide #MidwestTravel 🤠🌄
