SILVER SPRING, MD—Both Montgomery County Department of Parks trains—at Wheaton and Cabin John regional parks—are set to delight ghosts and goblins of all ages this Halloween.
“The Halloween train is new for Cabin John,” said Cabin John Regional Park Manager Ginny Moxley. “But, we are sure we have just enough boo-power to delight our younger passengers.”
Cabin John Regional Park’s NEW not-so-scary “Eye Spy” Halloween train ride is geared for children 8 years and younger. The holiday train at Cabin John will run from 6:00 – 9:00 pm Thursday through Saturday, October 18, 19, 20, 25, 26 and 27. The park will also show Halloween movies and offer prizes and giveaways. Admission is $5 or $4 dollars with a can of food.
The Haunted Train at Wheaton Regional Park rides again this year too. “This is our third year, creeping out our guests and each year more keep coming out for the thrill,” said Michael Tchou, Wheaton Train and Carousel manager.
At Wheaton, older county ghouls will enjoy Creepy Carousel rides, Haunted Hayrides and new this year the Hall of Jack-O’-Lanterns, in addition to the Haunted Train. Admission at Wheaton is $6 or $5 with a can of food and covers all the attractions. The train at Wheaton rides from 6:00 – 9:00 pm as well, October 13 and 14, 18-21 and 25-30.
