Next Public Ride Day :
The SCLS Halloween Train Ride is coming Soon We have two special events coming up at SCLS. October 25-26 is The Halloween train ride from 6 pm to 9 pm tickets are $ 7.00 at the depot on each night. The first train will start running at around 5:30pm so if you have little ones that are a little scared of the dark come early. Each year the SCLS crew learns a little more and we work at making this event a little bigger and better. In the past, the line has gotten long as well as the waiting time. We have more and longer trains this year so that should help. It seems every one comes out for a train ride all at the same time so it may get a little backed up. Please be aware your group will be seated on the train as you are lined up so if you have a large group you may end up on two different trains. The displays are all family friendly and it will be a fun ride. If you are in line by 9:00 pm you will be able to buy a ticket and get a ride. The end of the line will close off at 9:00 pm. On December 21, 2019 we will be having The Holidays lights Train ride from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Tickets are $7.00 at the depot on the night of the event only. In order to ride on the trains all riders must be able to sit on the car seat unassisted. Come out and see all the beautiful lights and displays from the seat of one of the trains.
