The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad will be celebrating Easter with the Peanuts gang. April 4 & 5th hop aboard the Easter Beagle Express. The train departs from the depot in Bryson City at 11am and follows along the Tuckasegee River into Dillsboro for a 1.5 hour layover on Friday and a 2 hour layover on Saturday. The longer layover on Saturday gives train guests a chance to hang out for Dillsboro’s famous Easter hat parade.  Activities on this ride include an on-going Easter egg hunt, crafts, temporary tattoos, coloring sheets, snacks with Snoopy, and more. Don’t forget your camera, as there will be lots of great photo-ops. And remember to call ahead for reservations as seats are limited and tickets go fast.

Call 1-800-872-4681 for reservations.
