Ride & Dine®: Ohio

You will climb aboard one of our themed cars and travel in style as your driver takes a path back in time to unique destinations in and around Northeastern Ohio.  What child, or adult, wouldn't want to ride in a real rocket ship, or an old fashion wooden roller coaster! 

This company is the one whose family started it all the way back in 1901!  The Humphrey Company operated Euclid Beach Park® from 1901 until the parks closing in 1969.  Even though the park closed, Humphrey popcorn is an icon, and is a treat still being made today.  From growing their own popping corn on their farm in Wakeman Ohio, right down to the ingredients, and equipment still used to this day, Humphrey Popcorn products is still keeping the taste of the old park alive.  Come and see how it was done back then and how the tradition has continued for over 3 generations. 

Let us take you back in time to the great smells of fresh popcorn and candy kisses being made.  We will take you via the original roller coaster car - "The Thriller"® (now motorized), or one of the original Rocket Ship Cars (motorized)  to the Humphrey Popcorn Factory for a 35 minute tour and back again.  Your ticket entitles you up to $5.00 of their world famous popcorn products!  Visit their website at www.humphreycompany.com for a behind the scene look on how Euclid Beach Park's famous popcorn products are made with this Ride & Dine® from "The Euclid Beach Boys®"!     

Fee: $35.00 per person and includes $5.00 voucher to be used toward the purchase of any popcorn product of your choice.

Package Ohio #4: Brandt's Chocolate Factory Tours!!!

I can't begin to describe how delicious this tour is!  Especially if you are a confirmed "Chocoholic"! 

Brandt's Candies was started by George and Agnes Brandt in Willoughby, Ohio, and has been in business since 1948. Customers are able to watch the delectable confections being made in  an open kitchen behind the showroom, just as it has been for the past 61 years. Brandt's is known throughout northeastern Ohio for the highest quality chocolates around, produced on site. 

Still doing business the same way today-as a family owned, family run store.  This generation of the Brandt's family is proud to carry on the tradition at the very same location their ancestor's started years before, in order to provide you with the same timeless treats you remember from your childhood.

Their candy is homemade, following original recipes, using only the finest and purest ingredients.  This gives their products the fresh and delicious taste that makes their chocolates so unique.  They hand-dip their creams, jellies, gooey caramels, and marshmallows in fine milk & dark chocolate along with hand-dipped coconut, nuts, dried fruit, and of course mouth-watering cherry cordials!  How can you forget the cherry cordials!  The candy is then displayed in the original showcases ready for you to take home and enjoy!

Brandt's will also custom make chocolate creations for any occasions, and also have a wide selection of sugar free  chocolates too!  Take a look at some of them here.

After satisfying your sweet tooth you will re-board your vehicle and be returned to your point of origin. Visit their website at www.brandtscandies.com for a first hand look at this new and delicious Ride & Dine® from "The Euclid Beach Boys®"!

Well it has finally arrived, and it is our sweetest and deadliest Ride & Dine yet! Titled as "Death by Dessert" this Ride & Dine will definitely send shivers down your spine, and tantalize your taste buds! As usual one of our themed vehicles will pick you up at a predetermined location and escort your party to Cleveland’s hidden treasure of a cemetery, and tourist destination, Lakeview Cemetery.

Founded in 1869, Lake View Cemetery sits on 285 acres of land and was modeled after the great garden cemeteries of Victorian England and France. There are over 102,000 people buried at Lake View, with more than 700 burials each year. There are 70 acres remaining for future development. Anyone can be buried at Lake View, without regard to race, creed, religion or walk of life. Offering the beauty, serenity, selection, history, horticulture and architecture rarely found in other cemeteries.

Your tour will include the Garfield Monument, built in memory of the 20th President of the United States, James A. Garfield.  In the crypt directly below the Memorial Hall are the bronze caskets of President Garfield (draped with an American Flag) and his wife Lucretia.

Along with these two stops you will also visit the resting places of John D. Rockefeller organized the Standard Oil Company, Law enforcement agent, Eliot Ness is probably most famous for helping to bring down gangster Al Capone, in Chicago, the Lakeview Damn, built in 1978 by the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District at a cost of $7 million. The dam is 500 feet across, 60 feet above grade and 30 feet below grade, and at the time of dedication, was the largest concrete filled dam east of the Rocky Mountains. The dam can hold back 80 million gallons of water, and more!

If the Godfather had a certain bakery in mind when he gave this advice, he must have been referring to Corbo’s Bakery.   Corbo’s is a small family-owned establishment that has won the hearts of many foodies in its home city. Reminiscent of stepping into any old-country grandmother’s dream kitchen, the pastries are displayed with a pride that only hints at their extraordinary taste. Corbo’s Bakery is a vital addition to the Little Italy area and a must visit attraction for the city of Cleveland. The pastries, bread, and other desserts are all hand made fresh by skilled bakers. Although there are many different kinds of foods from this bakery, any first-timer should try one thing- their delicious cannolis. It is apparent that not only the finest ingredients, but a tangible love of baking, goes into everything Corbo’s makes.

For those who have never experienced cassata cake, it is definitely worth trying. A white cake filled with creamy vanilla pudding, and strawberries, topped with their homemade whipped cream, it is one of the best cakes you will ever taste. Corbo’s cassata cakes are a popular choice for Cleveland weddings, celebrations, and business functions, and has been hailed by many as "the best Cassata Cake in the Midwest"…..and the closest one can get to an Italian grandmother’s cooking. Once your sweet tooth has been more than amply satisfied, we will transport you back to your starting point to complete this spectacular Ride & Dine package.

This all inclusive package is only $45.00/person, and includes an $8.00 voucher for your choice of dessert and beverage.  It is available Tuesday’s through Sunday’s 9:00 am to 4:00 pm from May 1^st to October 31st.

If inclement weather threatens we do have a backup plan. Feel free to ask us about your options.
