Every little engineer dreams of a party on a Real Train! The New Hope Railroad offers unique birthday party packages available during most excursions.
We do not recommend more than 45 guests maximum, because the designated party car is most comfortable at this capacity. This will allow ample space to move about the vintage railcar without having to restrict the guests to seats for the duration of the party.
We allow you to bring a cake from an outside vendor, as long as it is from a licensed facility. No cakes baked at home are permitted. Outside alcoholic beverages are not permitted on the premise. New Hope Railroad has a liquor license and will be happy to discuss your options.
If you or a guest arrives late for a party, it will continue as scheduled. We will hold the train for five minutes past the scheduled departure time. If the waiting times exceeds five minutes, the train will depart. If a guest arrives late, they will have the opportunity to ride on the second departure.
