Ride the
ONLY Easter Bunny train ride where you get off the train and have an Easter Egg
Hunt!
While on the train visit with Mr.
E. Bunny. Give him a hug and take a picture!
Your ride will wind along the
scenic Delaware River leaving from the Historic District of Phillipsburg, New
Jersey. The train will travel along the river to Carpentersville and our
destination will be the site of the historic Lime Kilns. In front of the 150
year old Lime kilns is a beautiful little glade filled with Easter Eggs! Once we
arrive you can get off the train, take a picture with Mr. Bunny and
gather 4 Easter eggs filled with little toys ( similar
to what you find in cracker jack).
Enjoy the cute Easter music on
the train, the gift shop, the snack bar, our banjo playing Hobo and a
Juggler, its fun for the whole family!

passenger receives a bag of mine tiling's , a brief history of the mine and use
of the sluice to prospect for their very
own gem stones they can bring home!
You may also purchase tickets the day of the event for all
trains although we advise that you purchase your tickets in advance.
Trains to and from
the mine depart every hour. Stay at the
mine as little as an hour or as long as you like!
