I-Spy Halloween Train Ride and Festival
Passengers take an 8- to 10-minute train ride along a mile-long track crossing a bridge, traveling through a tunnel, and passing an Old Frontier town while spotting hidden pumpkins and seasonal decor. Each rider receives a special I-Spy map, a small treat, and entrance to the activity area featuring nostalgic carnival games and photo opportunities. Guests can also browse Halloween toys at the depot or visit a separate photo area with El Catrin or La Catrina.
