Halloween Express Train Rides / St. Marys
Kids will love this “spooky” (more comical than spooky) open air train ride on the St. Marys Express. Follow the story as you ride of monsters gathering at the Hotel Transylvania to induct a young werewolf into their Monster Club. As passengers ride the rails through woodlands and marshlands on the way to meet the monsters, there will be Halloween-themed entertainment. Then at the midway, the real show comes alive when Dracula and his friends try to educate the little werewolf on the skills needed to be a monster. In the mix is a funny confrontation between the good witch and the bad witch. You’ll also see Frankenstein, the Skeleton, and the Mummy grooming the werewolf. Making a non-appearance will be the Invisible Man. Train passengers can also enjoy free admission to the St. Marys Railroad Museum at the train station. The Halloween Express departs from Theatre by the Trax, 1000 Osborne Street in St. Marys, at 10am, noon, 2 pm, and 4 pm on October 26. Tickets are $20 for adults and $14 for children 3 to 12.
