WIZARDS EXPRESS

Join your fellow wizards and witches for the first Wizard School field trip of the year! Enjoy a live platform show by your favorite characters 15 minutes prior to departure and play broomstick games before your train departs. Wear your favorite robe if you wish - but be sure to keep wands hidden away from our ornery professors, or you’ll run the risk of losing points from your house! Our wizards and witches will join everyone aboard for a 1½-hour round-trip ride 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 NEW event in 2023!

This event is powered by one of our antique steam locomotives.
