All aboard for a fall adventure like no other — the Great Pumpkin Train! Once a year, a magical pumpkin field appears along the tracks, and the only way to reach it is by train. Everyone gets a pumpkin! Admission to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum is included, so when you’re done pumpkin-picking, you can explore trains, history, and plenty of indoor fun at the Depot like balloon twisting, ventriloquist, magic, and more. It’s a Duluth tradition that’s equal parts festive, cozy, and a little bit quirky — just like autumn itself. When your train pulls into the pumpkin patch, every ticketed passenger gets to claim their very own pumpkin to haul home. The ride lasts about 90 minutes round trip, giving you just enough time to soak in the fall colors, snap too many photos, and debate which pumpkin has the best “front porch face.” Back at the Depot,…

The Christmas City Express is a storybook experience recommended for families with children and the young at heart. The performance begins in the Lake Superior Railroad Museum, where you’ll be treated to a classic book reading of the new Christmas City Express story, enjoy carolers, and a visit from a special guest! Then it’s time to hop on the train for a cheerful 30-minute ride out to Lake Superior’s shore — complete with holiday music, singalongs, some narration, twinkling lights, and all the warm fuzzy feelings. Onboard, you’ll be treated to complimentary hot chocolate and cookies to keep the magic going. This event is created with shorter attention spans in mind, making it a great fit for kids under 10 (though every year, we see grown-ups grinning just as much as the little ones). It’s sweet, simple, and pure holiday joy. About 90-minutes in total from arrival to finish. The museum…
