The Pumpkin Train Ride In Utah Is Scenic And Fun For The Whole Family

Autumn’s return means a jam-packed calendar of fun seasonal events – from escaping a variety of corn mazes to riding along on an old-fashioned hayride. Most of us also add a trip to the pumpkin patch to our itineraries. But, for an unforgettable autumn adventure, climb aboard the pumpkin train ride in Utah that includes a full menu of fun and a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch.

October’s about to get a whole lot more fun with the Pumpkin Train Ride at the Heber Valley Railroad in Heber City. Trains will run on selected days throughout the month of October.

A trip aboard the Pumpkin Train is perfect for kids and adults of all ages, and it might just trigger the start of a new annual family tradition.

The 40-minute train ride, which will take you aboard a historic standard coach, promises a ton of fun for the entire family with costume characters providing entertainment as the train chugs along the tracks.

Bring your sweet tooth with you, too, because all passengers will be treated to a scrumptious pumpkin cookie, perfect for enjoying as you watch the scenery roll by.

Don’t worry if you’re hungry. Once you return to the depot, you’ll be able to purchase other delicious goodies and drinks.

A trip on a pumpkin train wouldn’t be complete without a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch either. Passengers will get to meander through the pumpkin patch and pick a pumpkin.

Trains leave the station on select days through October with various departure times throughout the day. All passengers must purchase a ticket. However, all tickets include a pumpkin cookie and a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch.

If you’re bringing along a toddler two and younger, they must sit on an adult's lap during the train ride. Their tickets have a small fee but also include a cookie and pumpkin.
