What to Expect on the Sullivans Express to PumpkinTown
Your journey starts at Central Station where you’ll board one of the five Sullivans Express trains operating on the PumpkinTown rail. Once aboard you’ll enjoy a Halloween train ride as it makes its way through the Enchanted Forest, filled with not-so-scary creatures doing some pretty unusual things.
Once the train clears the woods, you’ll head around the south side of Pumpkin Town making your way toward the train station. Before you reach the station, you’ll get a glimpse of some of the circus fun along with a couple of other surprises before you reach PumpkinTown.

Hi Samantha, please click through to the ticket link and purchase your timed ticket there. It is in this space that you will select your time.
Has anyone been to this that can send me a review? I’m curious if it’s worth the money. We are from Greenwood & I’ve never heard of this event. I have a 5yr old that says Halloween is his favorite, but mostly for trick-or-treating. I’ve been wanting to do some fun fall activities, but as I mentioned, we are from southside & it’s a 40 minute drive one way. I also have a 4 month old, so I just want to make sure it’s worth our time.
