This season marks the 29th year of this unhallowed event, open now and runs weekends through Halloween.
This year, you can look forward to more activity outside of the ship on Harbor Drive—picture strewn lights, bonfires, drinks and food available for purchase, and more.

Other Good Stuff to Know
Trains operate rain or shine and in snow. Restrooms are available on the train, and coaches are heated/cooled as needed (except in open air car areas). Passengers in coach are boarded in the order they have arrived for checkin. First people to checkin are able to board first. This also allows for extra time to tour the museum beforehand. Any First-Class seats are boarded by reserved seat assignment with no need to checkin extra early. There is ramp parking on both sides of the Depot building, which is sometimes free on weekends (Sat/Sun). Follow signs accordingly, if the machine does not accept payment, then it is free.
