If you love donuts and love trains, there’s a one-of-a-kind event for you at Monticello Railway
Time slots are going quickly for the 2022 version of the donut train
Donut Train — too good to be true? Not in 2022! The popular Donut Train is returning to Monticello Railway this summer after selling out last year’s events. We have the scoop on what it is and how you can get your tickets now to make memories as a family with this part-sweet, part-nostalgic experience.
What is the Donut Train?
Ride in Monticello Railway’s restored dining-car train at a table that seats up to four people. You’ll enjoy a dozen Industrial Donuts — yes, you can take extras home — along with fruit, yogurt and drinks.
When will the Donut Train be running?
Dates for 2022 include the following Saturday mornings: April 30, June 11, July 16, Aug. 13, and Sept. 3. There are two departure times each day. The train ride is about an hour.
Do I get to pick which donuts will be at my table?
No, the donuts will be an assortment of Industrial Donuts — but they’re all guaranteed to be awesome because they’re made by Industrial.
I have an infant or toddler that can sit on my lap; can I bring them as a fifth passenger?
This was answered on the Monticello Railway Museum Facebook page, where it stated, “If one of your children is comfortable sitting on someone’s lap for the duration of the trip you are welcome to purchase one table of four.”
I only want to purchase tickets for two of us. Can I purchase single seats?
No, the price is per table for this event. No single tickets available.
I love donuts and all, but when do Polar Express tickets go on sale?
No word yet. Last year they went on sale in September.
OK, I’m ready to buy tickets!
Find the link to purchase your Donut Train tickets here. Tickets are $90 for a table for up to four.
