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 two delivery options:

You can print the gift certificate at home by emailing it to yourself, or you can email it directly to its recipient (sends right away).

All certificates are good for any of our standard excursions as well as the gift shop. Pricing is subject to change from what is below, but it will likely be pretty close to the same. Here is 2026 Pricing for Train Excursions offered:
