Enjoy a complete day on a steam train!
Alberta Prairie offers an exciting one day adventure on board a real steam or diesel-powered train. Different themes are enacted throughout the season, including murder mysteries, family, dinner theatre, seniors and teddy bear specials. For a day full of activities which is truly different and interesting, read on!
At some point during your excursion the train may be brought to a screeching halt. Look out! It's the dreaded outlaw "Bolton Gang". They are known to frequent these parts and on occasion hold up the train. But fear not the Canadian Metis hero, Gabriel Dumont, is there to stop them. After a short but furious gun battle, the money the outlaws took from passengers is retrieved. Since it's impossible to tell who the money belongs to, it is donated to a number of children's charities.
The train leaves Stettler, Alberta, and returns five to six hours later. Stettler is located in the Heart of Central Alberta and is a leisurely three hour drive from Calgary; Alberta, two and one-half hours from Edmonton, Alberta.
All excursions include a full course buffet meal which is included in the fare, on board entertainment and maybe even a train robbery. All meals during the summer are presented in the community hall in Big Valley or the Agripex in Stettler.
During your journey on board the train you will travel through the beautiful rolling and treed country side of Alberta's Parkland.
Reservations Recommended.
