Welcome to the
Easter Bunny Express 2010
Departing from Whippany, NJ

NEW: BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW

Celebrate the return of Spring with a fun themed train ride through northern New Jersey! The Easter Bunny and helpers will be on board greeting everyone during the 45-minute round-trip ride along the Morristown & Erie Railway's historic Whippanong Trail.

Your train ride departs from and returns to the Whippany Railway Museum site in Morris County, NJ. You'll enjoy the comfort of heated passenger coaches as the Easter Bunny's helpers hand out holiday treats for the kids. You are welcome to bring your camera to take photos enroute (free of charge), but be aware that the Easter Bunny has to visit many children and can't stay long with each person.

These rides usually sell out early, so advance internet or mail order ticket reservations are strongly recommended!

INTERNET SALES! Click to buy tickets online using a credit card, up to 11:59 PM on the Wednesday before the ride (this gives our volunteers time to print everyone's tickets beforehand).

Advance tickets are ONLY available through the Museum's mail order or Internet ordering process and not at any other location or mail-order/web site. All ticket mail-orders MUST include a large (4x9.5 inch) self-addressed, stamped return envelope, and should indicate a preferred excursion date and departure time, as well as an alternate date and time. All orders without a self-addressed, stamped envelope will be assessed a $1.00 service fee upon pickup of the tickets.

Please include your telephone number as well. Alternately, you can use this handy coupon - just print it out and fill it in (coming soon for 2010)! Reservations by mail will be accepted through March 20, 2010. Internet orders are accepted until 11:59 PM on the Wednesday before the ride. ABSOLUTELY NO RESCHEDULINGS OR EXCHANGES OF PRE-PAID TICKETS!

Any remaining tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis on each operating day. Ride, schedule, equipment and ticket availability subject to change without notice. The excursion train consists of a Historic Diesel Locomotive and enclosed coaches (heated, with padded seats).

The Museum building will be open from 12:00 noon to 4:00 PM each day of operation. Admission of $0.50 for children and $1.00 for adults (separate from train ride fare and payable at the door) supports the continued maintenance and restoration of the historic Museum building, grounds, and exhibit collection. A Gift Shop is located within the Museum. Food service is also available at the Snack Depot nearby.


The Easter Bunny Express and the Museum is staffed by an ALL-VOLUNTEER CREW. Proceeds from this event will go directly towards Museum exhibit enhancements.
