Easter Bunny Train Rides

ALL Tickets SOLD OUT!

“Easter Train was Terrific!”

“I was a guest along with my 3 yr old granddaughter for the first time on Saturday on the first train and we had a great time. By all my observations all the folks around me were very pleased as well.”

“You folks put on a first class program and the hard preparation work shows in the results. If there were going to be any hiccups it would have been the first train first day and none was apparent to the passengers.”

“Thanks again for a terrific experience and all your dedicated efforts.”

“Curt S”

During the ride the Easter Bunny will hop through the train & visits each child, giving them a special gift from his basket. So why not gather up the kids & join us? Site mobile-friendly for 2012!
