FATHER'S DAY SPECIAL

Dads love trains, so why not treat your dad or granddad to a ride behind our steam train on Father's Day? You'll enjoy a leisurely 1½-hour round-trip train ride to our Mt. Cuba Picnic Grove, which includes a ½-hour layover at the picnic grove, so be sure to pack a picnic lunch for you and dad to enjoy. Plus, all fathers get to ride for half-fare!

This event is powered by one of our antique steam locomotives.
