For a rip-roaring good time, goblin up tickets to the Halloween Express, a family-friendly event for ages 2-92. Narrated Day and Evening Trains. The Halloween Express will have vignettes along the railroad track featuring “The Twisted Woods”. You will ride through the woods aboard a gas-powered antique narrow-gauge train, listening to the story-teller in this 40-minute trip excursion. You may see a ghostly spirit or monster emerge from the swamplands of East Texas. While there may be a startle or two, this is not a scary train ride. $15 plus tax, lap children free.

Make this a Christmas to remember aboard the Christmas Express Train, narrated day tours. Passengers will enjoy vignettes along the beautiful Big Cypress Bayou River as they hear the story of Christmas. Evening train will include lighted vignettes. This is NOT the Rail of Lights Train – there will NOT be lights all along the track. The trains are a nice ride along the Bayou to enjoy the wetlands, river views, vignettes and story-telling.
