Ride the rails: These themed train rides are a magical way to see central Alberta

Who doesn’t love a good ‘ol train ride? In Wild Rose Country, the answer is very few people.

Whether you’re looking to entertain out-of-town guests, your kids, or are just looking for something exciting to do over the weekend, consider Battle River Train Excursions in Alberta.

Showcasing local communities and scenic views, this charming railway offers several themed rides including seasonal celebrations, murder mysteries and – for the adults, the occasional ‘sip ‘n ride’ where you can enjoy a boozy beverage aboard the passenger car.

“Each unique theme is carefully tailored to provide a fun-filled and memorable experience for those with a hankering to ride the rails,” they explain.

“We are always working to create an exciting line-up of exciting excursions.”
