Train rides in Garland, Texas

All aboard!

Garland runs on community events — downtown square celebrations, large church festivals and Garland school fundraisers. Ticketed by the ride pricing is popular here because it lets the event earn while the train runs.

Most of what we do in Garland is church and school fundraisers. Wherever the party is — a driveway, a church lot, a school drive loop or a park pavilion — we haul the locomotive and five cars in, run rides for your window, and pack out. You supply the crowd; we supply the bell, the horn and the line of grinning kids.
