1 / 3Woodstown Central Railroad
📍 Woodstown, NY
Historic 1883 railroad in Salem County running scenic excursions in restored 1930s passenger cars. Themed events include Christmas Santa rides, Easter Bunny Express, BYOB brewery tours, and chef-paired dining runs.
Loved loved! the train ride that was a BYOB and also charcuterie board . This was our 3rd time on the woodstown train, 2 x with Santa and then the BYOB train! Will definitely be back, really enjoyed the ride! Pictures are from both train rides!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with train-loving children, particularly during the Christmas season when the atmosphere is most fully realised. The Easter Bunny Express with an egg hunt is the second-strongest family event. Research the specific themed event before booking — the Halloween run has received mixed feedback.

“The Woodstown Central Railroad Christmas trip was truly magical. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was festive, warm, and full of holiday spirit. The staff went above and beyond to make the experience special, and every detail felt thoughtfully planned. My sons, who absolutely love trains, were completely amazed. Seeing their excitement as the train rolled along, decorated for Christmas, was unforgettable. It wasn’t just a train ride—it was an experience that created lasting memories for our family. If you have kids, especially ones who love trains, this is an absolute must-do during the holiday season. We can’t wait to come back again!”

“Such a cool experiences. We did the brew to brew It was a nice clean train, pretty sightseeing, The train passengers was a bit too loud we couldn’t hear the history about the train & area from the speaker. The first stop was my favorite spot super friendly bartenders and great flights. Definitely will do it again and try a different event.”

“We rode brewery to brewery in a beautifully restored 1930s train cabin. Along the way there was somone on the speaker talking about the history of Woodstown, and the train. We had a wonderful time at each brewery. The ride was comfortable, and the cabin was clean. I would recommend any activity they have on the website.”
