PUMPKIN PATCH TRAINS

October 12-27

For directions, please see our Historic 1870 Train Depot page, our Halloween trains depart from there.

Halloween. It’s spooky season once more! Time to find that perfect pumpkin to light the dark. A pumpkin filled to the brim with monsters and creatures of the night. With such a heavy task, why not leave it to ones that are already experienced?

Come on down to the Virginia & Truckee in Virginia City, the most haunted city in all of Nevada, to find that perfect pumpkin! You’ll depart from the haunted 1870 Depot and Gift Shop on a Halloween train ride. You’ll travel in time down a 150 year old rail line aboard a hay ride of steel pulled by an iron horse bound for a pumpkin patch. Surrounded by the ghostly remains of Comstock Lode Mines and picture-perfect views of Nevada’s spectacular mountains and basins, you’ll have a great time.

All the way, you’ll hear factual tales of the once-living men and women of Virginia City during its heyday, some of whom still cling to the city in the afterlife. There, your kid can find that perfect Halloween pumpkin and take his new orange friend home.
