Tips & Advice
- Bring a valid photo ID for everyone in your party, because every guest must prove they are 21 or older to ride.
- Arrive 15 to 20 minutes before departure to leave time for check-in and getting seated at your assigned table aboard Car 202.
- Reserve early, because seating is limited, and parties of five or more need to book more than one table.
- Ask for the alcohol-free versions of the festive drinks if anyone in your group prefers not to drink alcohol.
- Contact TVRM before booking if anyone in your party has mobility needs, since the historic railcars have limited accessibility.
