A West Michigan Family Fall Tradition! Always a hit with both children and adults, the PUMPKIN TRAIN sells out quickly so get your tickets early. We encourage the kids (and parents) to wear their Halloween costumes for some extra fun. The Famous Pumpkin and goofy sidekicks will entertain you with their crazy antics as our train travels from Coopersville to Marne and then back. At the end of your ride, children will get a fun gift and candy from The Pumpkin and her sidekicks!
We do not stop and visit a pumpkin patch nor do we have a pumpkin patch.
