HOT CHOCOLATE FESTIVAL
THE EXPERIENCE
Step aboard a wintertime escape and beat the seasonal blues where every traveler is greeted with complimentary hot chocolate — creamy, steamy, and crafted in partnership with local chocolatiers.
These festive round-trip journeys wind through the countryside, turning Valentine’s Day Weekend into a warm memory for families, friends, and anyone looking to sip something delightful while the rails sing beneath them.
First Class tickets include chocolate fondue and a selection of desserts for your enjoyment.
Trains depart several times daily from downtown Angola and offer seating for every age and occasion — from traditional coach accommodations to tables perfect for sharing treats and classic comfort in Pullman class.
THE OFFERINGS
Deluxe Coach, Family Table, and Pullman seating accommodations are available. Each Family Table accommodates four guests. Children three and under who do not occupy a seat ride free in Deluxe Coach only.
Family Table Tickets are limited to 4 guests per table, and single add-on tickets cannot be added to those reservations. Additional guests will need to purchase another table.
All tickets are priced individually unless otherwise noted. ADA-specific seating is available in Deluxe Coach only.
Passengers are welcome to bring personal food and non-alcoholic beverages. Pets are not permitted, though service animals are always welcome.
THE FINE PRINT
Tickets are delivered automatically by email upon checkout. They are not mailed separately, so guests should confirm their email address before purchasing and check spam or junk folders if the message doesn’t appear.
Parking, boarding, and safety details accompany every receipt. Reviewing them ensures the smoothest possible experience for you and your party.
Guests wishing to sit together must book under the same reservation and name. Refunds or exchanges are offered only 30 days or more before travel; otherwise, credits for future trips may be issued. Due to the historic nature of our passenger cars, only select equipment is ADA accessible, and locomotives or rolling stock may be substituted if necessary. All trains operate snow or shine — hot chocolate tastes better that way.
