Pumpkin Patch Train — Grand Canyon Railway

The Grand Canyon Railway, based in Williams, Arizona, runs its Pumpkin Patch Train in October. Families board a historic train at the Williams Depot and ride to what the operator calls a secret pumpkin patch that can only be reached by rail. The ticket includes the ride to and from the patch, one pumpkin for every ticketed guest and time to explore and choose a pumpkin.

The operator also lists haunted train cars for those who dare, access to seasonal activities at the Williams Depot including a harvest maze and other family entertainment, and photo opportunities. It encourages costumes. The ride time is described as short and family friendly.

The railway warns that space is limited on each departure and that weekends are expected to sell out, and it recommends booking early. Its booking page lists the departures on weekends in October.
