All aboard the Teddy Bear Picnic Express!

Gather your favorite teddy bear, dress them up as a beloved TV, movie, or book character, and hop aboard our one-day-only Teddy Bear Picnic Express train. 

Enjoy enchanting stories and fascinating tidbits from our onboard commentator as you travel through stunning scenery. During a stop at Hindon, families are welcome to enjoy a picnic on the lawn while kids (and their teddies!) are invited to join a Teddy Bear Parade—with fabulous prizes for the best-dressed bears. Whether your bear is a wizard, a superhero, or a princess, they’ll have their moment to shine!

Don’t miss this exclusive school holiday train. Pack your teddys, imagination, and a sense of adventure—we’ll take care of the rest!
