Pumpkin Train

A West Michigan Family Fall Tradition! Always a hit with both children and adults, the PUMPKIN TRAIN sells out quickly so get your tickets early. We encourage the kids (and parents) to wear their Halloween costumes for some extra fun. The Famous Pumpkin and goofy sidekicks will entertain you with their crazy antics as our train travels from Coopersville to Marne and then back. At the end of your ride, children will get a fun gift and candy from The Pumpkin and her sidekicks!

We do not stop and visit a pumpkin patch nor do we have a pumpkin patch.

Choose Premium Class for Table Seating with Locally sourced cider (Hill Brother’s Orchard) and a Coopersville’s famous “Delly Belly” pumpkin theme donut included!

All ages. 90 minutes

Santa Train

All aboard the Santa Train!  Our vintage train has a special seat reserved just for Santa and his elves and all the kids get to meet him and receive a special gift from him. Elves and sometimes even Mrs. Claus may show up to read stories aboard the train! This is one of our most popular rides and you won’t want to miss this opportunity to meet Santa and take pictures!  Trains sell out quickly on this one, so buy your tickets in advance!

Choose Premium Class for Table Seating that includes Hot Cocoa and a Cookie from our local Delly Belly bakery!
