Hill Country Flyer - 2027 Dates Now Available!
Step aboard the Hill Country Flyer, our signature excursion and a cherished tradition for families, friends, and neighbors across Central Texas! This full-day adventure invites you to experience railroading the way it used to be, inside fully restored vintage railcars that have been carefully preserved by the Austin Steam Train Association and its dedicated volunteers.
Guests are invited to walk through the train, enjoy refreshments and souvenirs from the concession car, and appreciate the details that bring this rolling museum to life. A two-hour layover in Burnet offers time to explore the historic town square, share lunch, or visit Wedding Oak Winery before reboarding for the afternoon ride home.
As the locomotive eases the train back toward Cedar Park, you’ll find yourself settling into that familiar rhythm—the sound of the rails, the shared conversations, and the feeling of being part of something special.
The Hill Country Flyer turns a simple day trip into a memory worth keeping.
North Pole Naughty- Sunday Nights 11/29 through 12/13
The stockings are hung, the hot chocolate is poured, and the kids? They can stay home!
North Pole Naughty is the adult-only holiday experience you didn’t know you needed — a 2-hour round-trip ride through the Texas Hill Country on a real vintage train, where the Christmas magic is just as real, the caroling just as loud, and nobody has to share their cookie. Departing from our historic 1912 Bertram Depot, this is the North Pole Flyer’s rowdier, more festive, decidedly child-free cousin. Ugly sweaters are highly encouraged — but clothes are non-negotiable. We're festive, not feral!
This ride is R-rated for ridiculousness! Think adult humor, zero filters, and maximum holiday chaos
Every ticket includes:
🎅 A Santa who has clearly been hitting the gym. You're welcome!
😈 Conductor Krampus on board checking tickets and hunting for stowaways
🧝 Mischievous elves offering live balloon twisting (yes, really)
🎶 Your favorite Christmas carols — with some creative new verses courtesy of our caroler
🎨 Special adult coloring sheets and crayons for every rider
🍪 Mrs. Claus passing out cookies you do NOT have to share with anyone
🏆 An ugly sweater contest in every car — winner gets a special gift from Santa himself

The Texas Wine Flyer - 11/8 & 11/22
Cozy up, check out, and treat yourself to a quiet escape one pour at a time.
The Texas Wine Flyer invites you aboard this one-of-a-kind experience that begins the moment you step on to our fully restored vintage train. You can relax and get cozy for a guided wine tasting hosted by the charming Wedding Oak Winery team. Unplug and unwind as the train makes its way to Burnet, surrounded by the history and craftsmanship of classic railroading.
In Burnet, your layover brings you to the Wedding Oak Winery. Order wine by the glass or as a bottle to take home. Enjoy delicious bites and spend time in their beautiful tasting room inside the historic 1888 Badger Building, complete with two-story views, a patio, and a rooftop terrace. It’s the perfect backdrop to relax, reconnect, and capture the moments you come for.
Finally, you will reboard the train for a laid-back ride home, a chance to share stories, savor the day, and enjoy the easy rhythm of the rails as the afternoon winds down. The Texas Wine Flyer is a beautiful blend of relaxation, flavor, and cozy time spent with your favorite people.
