This exciting adventure, aptly named the “Madd Hatter Tea Room Train,” offers a 2-hour round trip that will captivate the imaginations of both young and old. This special train is schedule for one day only, Saturday June 8th at 2pm.

 

The “Madd Hatter Tea Room Train” is your ticket to an extraordinary adventure inspired by the beloved tale of Alice in Wonderland. Passengers are encouraged to dress as their favorite characters from the story, with rabbit ears welcomed but not mandatory.

 

As the train weaves through the breathtaking landscapes of upstate New York, guests will be treated to a variety of fine teas, coupled with an array of delicious finger sandwiches and treats served in the style of a classic tearoom. This immersive experience ensures a delightful escape into a land of fantasy, all while enjoying the real-world beauty of the Adirondack wilderness.

 

In addition to the tea and treats, a selection of additional beverages will be available for purchase. Whether you prefer a soft drink to accompany your afternoon tea or something a bit stronger, we have you covered. Our goal is to make your trip down the rabbit hole as enjoyable as possible.

 

An Adults only Tea Time train will run concurrently to the Madd Hatter Tea Room Train. The Adult only event invites tea enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike for an extraordinary experience combining the elegance of a traditional afternoon tea with the unparalleled charm of a train ride through the picturesque country side.

 

Guests will have the rare opportunity to step aboard a beautifully restored 1950’s Dome Car, where they will be transported not just through the Adirondacks but back to a time of genuine simplicity and refinement. The traditional Afternoon Tea includes a variety of teas from Harney & Sons Fine Teas, followed by a selection of delicious sandwiches and mouthwatering treats and deserts.
