Upgrade your visit with a leisurely 25-minute train ride experience aboard our specially decorated Easter-themed train! While riding the rails through our 60-acre museum site, you’ll be greeted by the Easter Bunny who will be passing out treats to the kids. Your ticket also allows you to visit the museum grounds and exhibit buildings. Before or after your ride, you’ll be able to enjoy a visit with the Easter Bunny and all the other activities!
*New* Meals with the Easter Bunny
Hop onboard to join the Easter Bunny for a meet and greet meal on a railroad dining car! These limited-seating options are available each day for an additional fee. The dining car will be on the train, allowing you to enjoy your meal while you ride. The Easter Bunny will visit with you as the train rolls through our 60-acre site.
We encourage being in line to board for your breakfast, lunch, or snack experience with the Easter Bunny 15 minutes before your ride time. We will begin serving as passengers board the train. Trains depart at the time shown on your ticket, so please be ready for trains to leave on time. Train rides last about 25 minutes each. Seating is limited so we cannot guarantee availability on later trains if you miss your ride and meal time.
Ticket prices for meals with the Easter Bunny include Easter Bunny Express event admission, train ride, and breakfast, lunch, or a snack (one per passenger at the designated ride time) with the Easter Bunny onboard the moving train. All riders ages 3 and up must purchase a ticket to ride the dining car. Members enjoy free or reduced pricing for admission and train ride depending on membership level, but meal prices are at full price.

Bunny-shaped pancakes, sausage, fruit, and juice.
Lunch (11AM, 12PM, and 1PM on March 23, 29, and 30):
