Save-the-Date: Halloween at the Roundhouse, Saturday Oct. 26th from Noon until 4:00 PM.


 Our FREE ADMISSION event of the year is nearly here!  This is far and above the most anticipated event we have each year. Last year over 6,300 family members came out for a great afternoon of family bonding and fun. We have some new and exciting additions this year that are sure to please our visitors.

In the past two years we introduced our Haunted Caboose attraction which became an instant hit with our guests. Unfortunately this past year we restored this caboose back to its original glory (that sounds weird doesn’t it … we unfortunately did good?!?!?) so the caboose can no longer be haunted. Fret not because we have not only found a new location but we have expanded its size also. Our haunted offering can be found in the Car Shops building for more frightful chills and fun.

We have also added an apple slingshot area where you can fling 3 apples for $1.00 with our slingshots and if you hit any of the targets that we have set up then you can win a prize also.  Here is a rundown of some of the activities that will be available.

Late breaking news:  Two special VIPS will be dropping in to help out with the activities. Sir Topham Hatt and the Conductor are arriving from the Island of Sodar at 12:45 PM!!

For some of the games and contests there will be pumpkin prizes awarded to our winners (while supplies last). Also, our full cast of Hobo’s, witches, goblins, ghouls, and railroad characters will be on hand to interact with and play with our quests. 









Come on down to The Railroad Museum, Sioux City and join in the fun. Come in costume or not, but plan on having a great family afternoon. We can’t wait to see you!
