Annual Easter train runs March 24, 25 and 31
Get ready for family fun on the East Troy Electric Railroad’s Bunny Train. Kids of all ages can have their face painted and fun coloring at the East Troy depot before departure. Then enjoy Easter-themed activities aboard a 10-mile round trip to the Elegant Farmer, where kids will see live bunnies and chicks on display by local 4-H students.
Kids can visit with the Easter Bunny for pictures and have a treat before returning to East Troy. Children will receive a small gift upon the return to East Troy.
The historic railroad cars are heated and rest rooms are available at the East Troy depot. Tickets can be purchased online anytime at www.easttroyrr.org.
The railroad has updated it pricing to incorporate the convenience fees, so riders will no longer be charged a per-ticket fee as in the past. New prices are: $17 for adults, $14 for kids age 3 to 17, and $8 for kids 2 and younger. Sales taxes are still extra.
Advance reservations are required and can be made on the railroad’s website.
Trains depart at 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m., noon, 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. on March 24, 25 and 31.
The East Troy Railroad Museum operates 14-mile round trip train rides from its historic East Troy depot and museum to Indianhead Park in Mukwonago, with a stop at the popular Elegant Farmer store and deli. The railroad is celebrating more than 110 years of riding the rails through Southeast Wisconsin’s Kettle Moraine countryside.
The not-for-profit museum is operated, maintained and managed by more than 130 volunteers committed to preservation rail history in Wisconsin and America.
