All aboard for an egg-citing Easter train ride on the Nickel Plate Express! This family experience will allow kids of all ages to enjoy a springtime adventure on April 1, 2, and 8.

Passengers will ride historic railroad cars as they help the farmer find his missing eggs. This interactive on-board story with a farmer and the Easter Bunny is sure to entertain all ages. In addition, passengers will enjoy a springtime cookie, a special drink, and an opportunity to meet the Easter Bunny. New to the 2023 Easter ride will be Poppins Balloon Creations.
