PRINCESS EXPRESS

Join us aboard our Princess Express as five royal characters ride the train and join our guests for a regal experience through the Red Clay Valley!

On the June 25 excursions, the Island Princess, Archer Princess, Beauty, the Little Mermaid, and the Sailor Prince will ride the train.

On the August 13 excursions, Cinderella, Prince Charming and the Fairy Godmother, as well as Aurora and Rapunzel will ride the train.

Be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the departure time for pictures with the characters and to catch our live platform performance, complete with a sing-along and dancing. Prince and princess attire is encouraged! The princesses will visit everyone aboard the train during the 1½-hour round-trip to Ashland. This train will not stop or layover at the Mt. Cuba Picnic Grove.

We are thrilled to be partnering with Sew Classy Royal Events to bring you this popular event once again.

This event is powered by either our historic first-generation diesel locomotive or by one of our antique steam locomotives.
