Bus Groups

For groups traveling by tour bus, we offer complimentary parking and a seat on the train for the driver. Entrance to one of the country’s top Lionel train museums, Smoky Mountain Trains, is included with most ticket purchases. Groups are asked to arrive one hour before departure to ensure your group has tickets and is ready to go before the conductor calls “All Aboard!” about 30 minutes prior to departure. Groups consisting entirely of passengers 21 years of age and over can select our First Class option for a top of the line experience with your meal included. These elegantly appointed coaches offer passengers a chance to feel truly special. Climate-controlled atmosphere, deluxe cushioned dining chairs, tables, large picture windows, and a dedicated car attendant. First Class seating also provides each passenger with a souvenir tumbler for you to refill with coffee or soft drinks while on board, as well as a special gift amenity. Select dates during some spring and summer months will offer First Class seating for families with children.
