Wheaton Miniature Train
The Wheaton Miniature Train is a third-scale replica of the 1863 C.P. Huntington engine, with passenger cars. The train takes riders on a two-mile trek through Wheaton Regional Park, with the highlights being a miniature trestle bridge, plenty of wildlife (turtles are known to make multiple appearances in season), and of course the tunnel!
In total, the Miniature Train can hold up to 75 people! So climb aboard, get comfortable, and let us roll you through the Park!
** For safety and mechanical reasons, the miniature train cannot operate when there is any rain/condensation on the tracks**
