Train Rides

Take a ride on the Kingsville Express to tour the light displays, and sip hot chocolate. The Kingsville Express is run by volunteers and requires good weather conditions to operate.

To help offset the cost of the event, Kingsville Express train rides cost $2 per person, $5 per family of four, or by donation.
