Children's Museum hosts train ride fundraiser Sunday at Carson City's Mills Park
The Children's Museum of Northern Nevada and the Carson City Railroad Association present Mills Park Train Rides happening Sunday, Sept. 26 at Mills Park from noon to 4 p.m. There will be train rides running every half an hour. The train stops twice per ride for a quick scavenger hunt.
The train runs twice per hour, and about 40 people can fit per ride. $5 per ticket per train ride (tickets sold at the Children's Museum or at the train station in Mills Park the day of the event).
All proceeds go back to the Children's Museum of Northern Nevada. Help support a local business that lives in the heart of Carson City. Bring the whole family for a good time!
The Carson & Mills Park Railroad is a two-foot (narrow gauge) railroad. Participants can ride behind a replica of a diesel switcher engine and choose an open gondola or a covered passenger car. The 1-1/4 mile trip takes you through beautiful Mills Park and lasts approximately 15 minutes.
The Carson & Mills Park Railroad entrance is located on Saliman Street 1/8 of a mile south of Highway 50 East in Carson City. The Station is located next to the Marv Teixeira Pavilion. There is plenty of free parking next to the station in Mills Park.
