2026 Haunted Train at Ardenwood Historic Farm

Tickets on Sale Now for the Haunted Train!

Climb aboard the Haunted Train at Ardenwood Historic Farm for a delightful evening ride filled with glowing pumpkins, towering Halloween decorations, and other Halloween delights. This is not a scary haunt, but a playful Halloween tale designed especially for kids and families, with low intensity and low sensory stimulation compared to other Halloween events. As the train chugs through the decorated Haunted Forest, you’ll discover cheerful characters, spooky \(not scary\) scenes, and plenty of magical Halloween fun. Perfect for little ones, parents, and anyone who loves the spirit of the season.

The Haunted Train will operate the two weekends before Halloween: October 16, 17, 18; and October 23, 24, 25. On Friday and Saturday nights the train will run every 30 minutes from 7pm-9:30pm; and on Sundays it will operate between 7pm and 9pm.

All children must be accompanied by an adult. Because the ride is at night, for safety reasons every child 6 years and under must sit on an adult's lap. The ticket price is $19.50 for passengers age 3 and older \(2 and under are free\). For general information call 510-544-2797.

The Haunted Train is a once-a-year event benefitting the all-volunteer Railroad Museum at Ardenwood operated by SPCRR, a 501\(c\)\(3\) nonprofit. Check out our social media for more event news.
