Spring is coming, which means the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum Easter Trains are running through the Northwest Indiana countryside.
Enjoy the sights and smells of the season with a popular holiday favorite for adults and children of all ages.
The events will feature an Easter Egg Hunt after each train ride. More than 6,000 eggs will be distributed this year and gathered by children in three age categories during the hunts. Parents are encouraged to bring their cameras and take photos of their children with the Easter Bunny during these events.
Diesel Easter Trains depart from the station in North Judson, IN, on Saturdays, March 21st, March 28th, and April 4th at 9:30 am, 11:30 am, 1:30 pm, and 3:30 pm Central Time. Each trip takes passengers on a 45-minute countryside excursion, crossing the Kankakee River at English Lake before returning.
Ticket prices are $20 for adults and $14 for children, ages 3 to 15, for coach seating. First class seating options, in a former business car, include suites for up to three people for $80 or $25 general lounge seats. Infants and toddlers under 3 are free, when riding on a parent’s or guardian’s lap. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online at hoosiervalley.org.
