      Hop aboard the Essex Steam Train Saturday April 1 & Sunday April 2 and Friday April 7 & Saturday April 8 of Easter Weekend for Bunny Breakfast and Bunny Brunches aboard our vintage Pullman dining cars, pulled by our antique diesel locomotive.

      Families will delight in a spring train ride through the beautiful Connecticut River Valley as they enjoy a family style platter of breakfast or brunch items suitable for all ages. An abundant family style platter for the whole table will include coffee cakes, scones and pastries, fresh fruits, hard boiled eggs and breakfast sandwiches. The Easter Bunny will say hello as he passes through the train cars along the route. Photo opportunities will be available on the platform after the train ride.

      Kids receive their honorary bunny ears as they board and will receive a gift from the Easter Bunny as they depart Essex Station.

      You won’t want to miss this family fun experience back for 2023!
