PRICING:

Touring Class: $10 (all ages)
- Touring class coaches have vintage wooden-backed bench style seats. During spring and summer months the coaches are open air and provide a great experience with the breeze blowing in. There are ceiling fans, but no air-conditioning in touring class. During winter months window coverings are installed and the coach is heated.
First Class: $12 (all ages)
- First class coaches have upholstered seating with air conditioning (or heating in the winter months). The windows in First Class do not open, so while it provides a comfortable ride, riders do get slightly less of the sights and sounds that the open-air touring class coaches get.
NOTE: due to federal regulations, children 13 months and older require a ticket and their own seat. Children 12 months and younger may ride for free, however, they must ride in the lap or arms of a parent or guardian. Children may not ride in a car seat or stroller while the train is in motion.
