Groups at the North Carolina Railway Museum

Groups of 12 or more receive a $1 per ticket discount on non-special event rides. Please note that discounts do not apply to the following events: Hop Into Spring, Track or Treat, and Santa’s Train.

How to Reserve Group Tickets:

  • Select the date and time you wish to book.

  • Email us at groupsales@triangletrain.com with your group’s headcount, any special needs, and your preferred ride date and time. We will provide you with an Offer Code to access the discounted tickets.

  • Enter your group’s name in the Company/Group field during checkout. This helps us organize your group on the day of the ride.

Seating and Boarding Information:

  • We will make every effort to seat groups together. Each train car accommodates approximately 60 passengers. Smaller groups may share a car with other riders if the train is full.

  • Please arrive at least 45 minutes prior to departure to allow time for organized boarding.

  • Groups that arranged in advance will be offered early boarding (no less than 30 minutes before departure). At 15 minutes before departure, boarding opens to all passengers, and seating becomes first-come, first-served.

  • Reserved seating is not available.

         

Charter Rides

Charter opportunities are available for larger groups interested in reserving an entire train. Charters may be scheduled on a regular ride day or on a preferred date with adequate notice. Our train can accommodate approximately 250 passengers across four cars. To inquire about available dates, pricing, or additional details, please contact groupsales@triangletrain.com.

Organizations and groups that often enjoy our trains together include:

  • Summer camps
  • Daycare programs
  • Churches
  • Schools (rides may also serve as an educational experience)
  • Homeschool groups
  • Senior centers
  • Alumni associations
  • Tour groups
  • Businesses
  • Clubs, associations, and societies

Guests are welcome to bring their own food to enjoy at picnic tables near the G-Scale model railway or in the infield adjacent to the loading area. Food and beverages are also permitted on board the train. On days when food trucks are featured (as listed in the ride description), we encourage you to support our local vendors. If you have something unique in mind for your group experience, please reach out to us—we’ll do our best to accommodate.

For all questions and inquiries regarding group rides or charters, please email groupsales@triangletrain.com. Our all-volunteer staff typically replies within two business days. We appreciate your patience and courtesy.
