Tips & Advice

  • Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure, as boarding lines are outside and can be lengthy.
  • Dress in layers and be prepared for potentially unpredictable weather, as much of the experience involves outdoor elements.
  • Consider bringing a stroller if you have young children, as you'll be spending time at the Railway History Campus.
  • While costumes are encouraged, ensure they do not obstruct safe boarding of the train or include prop weapons.
  • Due to potential construction, confirm your boarding location is the Snoqualmie Depot, as North Bend departures may be suspended.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Costumes encouraged for all ages.
  • All children receive a small gift.
