Murder Mysteries

Join the fun as we unravel a comical mystery before your eyes. It is up to you to decide just who the killer is and why they would do such a dastardly deed. Make sure to write down all the clues you discover. Clue sheets will be collected before the final act, when everyone will discover why the perfect murder just can’t be pulled off… or can it? A prize will be awarded to the one super sleuth in each dining car. Price includes a scrumptious five (5) course dinner, murder mystery show and train ride. All Murder Mystery Dinner Trains depart promptly at 6:30 pm (5:30 pm on Sundays).

Year round Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday $66.00*, plus tax and gratuity

Saturday $74.00*, plus tax and gratuity
