Peter Cottontail Express
All Aboard for the Peter Cottontail Express!
Get ready for a fun-filled spring event for Easter as Peter Cottontail will be onboard. Take the train for a 3-hour round trip through Oil Creek Valley, including the Easter Egg Hunt at the halfway point. Advanced reservations are strongly recommended since this event usually sells out. Perry Street Station Museum, Gift Shop, and Concessions opens at 10 am; train departs at 1 pm.
- Small gifts for children 12 and under.
- 3-hour Train Ride through Oil Creek Valley with the bunny himself!
- Peter Cottontail will go from car to car during the ride to see the kids and allow you to snap pictures of him with your family.
- Easter Egg Hunt – two age groups: ages 6 & under and ages 7 to 12. Be sure to bring a bag or basket for your child to use to collect eggs.
Please Note: Limit of 10 eggs per child. We appreciate your assistance in keeping each child to this limit so another child does not end up without any eggs.
If weather does not permit the egg hunt, eggs will be distributed to the children on the train. - Jellybean counting contest – guess how many jellybeans are in the container and the one closest without going over will win a prize!
