Give the gift of TRAINS!
Every train excursion offers a unique opportunity for experiences and memories that last a lifetime. Gift Certificates can be purchased here, and are applicable for a dollar amount to put towards an excursion. Certificates are valid for 3 years from the point of purchase. If you have a specific excursion in mind you want to gift (such as a dinner train), generally you can purchase it for the amount that the ride is with the sample pricing listed below. Surplus funds not used towards an excursion can be used for concessions on the train, or items in our giftshop.
Choose from 3 delivery options: You can print the gift certificate at home, you can email it directly to a recipient, or we can print it for you and mail it to you.
Mail option: Gift Certificates are usually processed within 2-3 days of purchase. They mail first-class mail, and usually arrive within a week, but can sometimes take up to two weeks. Below are some photos, folders, and other items that can optionally be printed on your own to accompany a gift certificate.
