Experience Beautiful Fall Colors on a Train Ride Through Western Wisconsin

Just across the Minnesota border in Wisconsin you can hop on a beautiful train ride through stunning fall colors. This would be quite the unique way to go leaf peeping this year!

Of course, fall doesn't last super long in the Midwest, so you'll want to consider reserving a spot soon. Rides on the Fall Colors Train end at the end of October.

The train drops off and picks up from the same location, at the Osceola and St. Croix Valley Railway depot. The ride is an hour and a half and there are drinks and snacks available for purchase on board (including craft beer if that's your jam).

This would be such a fun and unique way to see the fall colors this year. Oh, and if your kids are into trains at all, the one you'd ride on for the Fall Colors Train ride is a restored vintage train.

Tickets are $42.80 for adults (16+), $26.75 for kids 6-15, and $17.12 for kids 3-5.

If you're thinking about checking this out, get those tickets sooner rather than later because the fall colors will be gone before we know it. They have train rides scheduled every Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday through Sunday, October 25th this year. Some of them are already sold out, though.
