Train rides in Grapevine, Texas
All aboard!
Grapevine is a railroad town — the Grapevine Vintage Railroad runs out of Main Street — so a vintage trackless train fits the city's identity perfectly. Great for holiday events in a city that markets itself as the Christmas Capital of Texas.
Most of what we do in Grapevine is holiday events and festivals. 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.
