Murder Mystery Train

This year, the “ERA” for our exclusive Murder Mystery will be the 1980’s, so dust off those outfits with huge shoulder pads, big white collars and your BIG hair do’s!  Once again, Lionheart Productions (a community theatre group) is preparing an all new story line for us.  Loyal riders will remember prior eras from the 1920’s 1940’s, 1950’s and the Hippie 1960’s.  Of course, costumes are still optional, but get in the mood and join the fun as you immerse yourself in the story by dressing for the era and participating in the costume contest.   Come ride for a 90 minute exercise of your deductive reasoning powers and enjoy an evening of mystery and fun.  A light snack and beverage is included.  This event is recommended for passengers over the age of 13.  Ages 13 – 18 requires parent supervision.

Seating is very limited and only 6 departures are available, so be sure to get your reservations early as this is one of our most popular events and tends to sell out quickly.
