Scenic Train Rides

Our Scenic Train Ride experiences offer you a wonderful journey into the past! Take your seat on a gorgeous old train and get swept away by the romance and the rhythm of the rails!

Scenic train rides let you step back in time and experience an authentic taste of the golden age of railroad travel. There are few more pleasant ways to get around than aboard a chugging train, and with these scenic train rides you can sit back and watch the world go by from the comfort and style of an old-fashioned train car, as you are served a delicious brunch, lunch or dinner. Enjoy the fine food and wine and the beautiful scenery on scenic train rides throughout the US!

If you’re looking for a wonderfully unique and relaxing gift for someone special, or you want a dining experience with a difference, try an unforgettable scenic train ride!

Scenic Train Rides Xperience Days Reviews

Everything was awesome.


East Haven CT

It was such an enjoyable experience to have a 5-course meal in an elegant setting, winding through the CT river area. The staff were friendly, efficient and professional. Loved the servers and the MC/narrator was so charming!


Norwalk, CT

Although it took a year and a half to be able to reserve our date, my husband loved driving a steam engine! Staff was wonderful and all went very smoothly.


Inman, SC

It was a great experience all around. The crew was outstanding! The best part was blowing the whistle :-)

  • I recently attended a cooking class with Karen Lee, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Karen took the time to connect with me beforehand, asking about my preferences and thoughtfully customizing the menu. The quality of the ingredients was top-notch, and I picked up so many valuable cooking tips. Everything we made turned out absolutely delicious! The next day, Karen sent beautiful photos of our dishes, adding a special touch to the whole experience. I highly recommend her classes to anyone looking for a fun and memorable cooking experience.

  • I bought a flying lesson for my 17 year old grandson who is very interested in flying. He had a great time with Andrew, his instructor. He couldn’t quit smiling and talking about it all day!
