If you love trains and Halloween, we’ve got an attraction you don’t want to miss. There’s a museum in Northern Indiana that is all about steam locomotives, and this October, it will host several ghost train rides that you don’t want to miss.
Fun for the whole family, this budget-friendly fall adventure is the creepy Halloween experience you’ve been looking for. Check it out:
Hesston Steam Museum is one of most unique museums in the state. Instead of ancient images and artifacts, this La Porte, Indiana attraction allows you to check out actual steam engines from a time long past.
Each fall, the museum puts on an extra special event that is perfect for anyone who loves Halloween. Board the ghost train for an eerie ride unlike anything you've ever experienced.
Guests enjoy the Flying Dutchman Railroad. Chugging through the forest, you'll get to enjoy lovely fall foliage views of Northern Indiana and witness spooky sights along the way.
Though the trip begins at noon, guests are encouraged to arrive early for breakfast at Doc's Soda Fountain and to watch the crew fire up the train. The cost is $7 for adults and $5 for children between the ages of 5 and 12. Rides are available on weekends October 13-28, 2018.
Enjoy a trip on a real steam engine when you ride the ghost train. This family-friendly experience is the perfect adventure to get you in the mood for Halloween.
Hesston Steam Museum is located at 1201 E 1000 N, La Porte, IN 46350, and you can get more information about other rides and make reservations through its website or Facebook page.
