The Bluegrass Scenic Railroad and Museum in Kentucky is a travel experience groups will not want to miss
The Bluegrass Scenic Railroad and Museum offers a picturesque 11-mile, a 90-minute train excursion through the rolling central Kentucky countryside past thoroughbred horse farms to the Kentucky River. Air-conditioned first-class cars and exciting open-air cars are available. In addition to train rides every Saturday, the museum maintains an outdoor collection of historic railroad locomotives and railcars and an indoor museum of railroad artifacts. The museum, model train layouts, and gift shop are open noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays.
In addition to the regular Saturday train ride, Bluegrass also offers special train rides including the Easter Bunny Train. The Saturday before Easter the Easter Bunny is invited to ride the train. Everyone takes turn getting bunny hugs and handshakes as the train ride down the tracks in early spring, allowing guests to savor the fresh green leaves and lovely flowers blooming. This ride is a treat for children and adults.

Bluegrass also helps families celebrate Mothers’ and Father’s Day by running a special train the Saturday before mom and dad’s holiday. On their respective Saturday, the Parent of the Day receives half off the price of a regular ticket when accompanied by one or more of their children. Bring your mom (or mom-to-be) in May and your dad in June and treat them to a special afternoon filled with incredible early summer scenery including horses grazing in fields.

There are multiple ways to enjoy the train, including first-class seating, where guests can ride in air-conditioned comfort on plush reclining seats and the new hobo class, which allows guests to ride in the open air on a World War II vintage flat car directly behind the locomotive. This gives a new way and exciting way to see and hear how the train engine operates.
