🎃 TONIGHT, SCARY DOG CENTRAL OPENS! 👻

Last night, we got a sneak peek at what’s in store during our exclusive preview night, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience it for themselves!

We’re kicking things off tonight with our SOLD OUT Train of Terror and we’re so excited to finally share what we’ve been working on behind the scenes.

From the scares to the atmosphere, we’ve been working hard to bring a one-of-a-kind Halloween experience to Manitoba, and tonight it all comes to life!

The countdown is over… Scary Dog Central starts TONIGHT! 🖤🎃

Yesterday, our passengers got a front-row seat to the action as the cowboys joined us aboard the train for our classic Great Train Robbery!

From the bad guys to the guests who showed up dressed for the occasion, you all helped bring the Wild West to life.

Once we rolled into Warren, Sweet Alibi took the stage and treated our passengers to an amazing performance!

It was the perfect way to close out our regular-season rides. A big thank you to everyone who came along for the adventure and made this season so special!

Now, who’s ready for Scary Dog Central? 👻🎃

That’s a wrap on our final regular-season ride of the year! 🚂🤠

We went out with a bang with our classic Great Train Robbery — and another SOLD OUT train! By the end of the ride, we had turned our passengers into bandits themselves.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us today and braved a very brisk fall day for an adventure out to Warren! We loved having you aboard and making more memories with you.

Thanks for an incredible regular season, folks! ❤️

Up next? Scary Dog Central! 🎃👻

🚂 Fall Supper on the Prairie Dog Central Railway 🍂

This past Saturday, we attended the final Fall Supper on Winnipeg’s iconic Prairie Dog Central. Kyle and I had never been before, but our two friends that joined us had. I really loved the novelty of the whole experience!

The ride to Grosse Isle was pretty slow, but the staff made sure we had fun. The conductor visited our coach several times, and was definitely jealous of J’s tie! There was a trivia competition to see which car would get to detrain and eat first, and we won :)

✨A few things I learned while on the ride:
The Prairie Dog Central train was built in Glasgow!
This was the first year they hosted a Fall Supper.
It travels to Grosse Isle and Warren, Manitoba.

I won’t give it all away in case you take a ride and play the trivia too ;)

You can still sneak in a visit this fall with upcoming rides like Hoop & Circus Themed Ride, Great Train Robbery, Train of Terror, The Rocky Horror Train of Terror, and Family Fun Halloween Adventure.

🎟️ Definitely a Winnipeg attraction worth the ticket to ride!
