Tucked away near the century-old Carpentersville Lime Kilns, the pumpkin patch is a gorgeous place to breathe in the crisp fall air while the little ones pick out a pumpkin.
The lime kilns on site happen to be the oldest and largest of their kind remaining in New Jersey. In fact, they date back to before the Revolutionary War.
For just $5 more, passengers can opt to experience the Susquehanna Mine and Corn Maze.
Under the shelter of the pine trees, you can enjoy your packed picnic lunch while discussing the day's adventures. You'll then return on the train ride back approximately 1.5 hours later.
Whether it's your first time on a Delaware River Train Excursion or you happen to be a seasoned passenger, you'll love celebrating fall on the Great Pumpkin Train.
