The Easter Bunny will once again pay a visit to the Danbury Railway Museum and you can take a ride in a vintage train through the historic rail yard to visit him. This popular annual family event will take place on Saturday and Sunday, April 13-14, as well as Friday and Saturday, April 19 - 20.
Hours
Trains leave every 30 minutes from 10:30 to 2:30. No train at 12 or 12:30 on Saturdays.
Admission
$12 (age 2 and over); each child will receive a small gift from the Bunny. Reservations are suggested and may be made online here.
The short train ride in a fully-restored 1953 New Haven RR Rail Diesel Car (Budd RDC), will take visitors past the fully operational turntable, over 70 vintage railroad cars and locomotives, and many unique pieces of railroad history, including a Boston & Maine steam locomotive built in 1907. The train ride will stop at the Easter Bunny’s special railroad car. Of course, the exhibits inside the restored 1903 Danbury station will be open, along with a coloring station, temporary tattoos, Thomas® play table, and the operating model train layouts. A fully-stocked gift shop will also be open.
