Where to Visit?

3) Ghost Boat Tour

Right now, the “Season of the Witch” Ghost Boat Tour takes place on weekends in September & October. The whole experience is like a unique and scary haunted house. First, you board the boat and it takes you in the dark to an unknown location. Then you walk through the sandstone bluffs while encountering different leery characters, scenes, and noises. This ride isn’t for the faint of heart!   

Where to Eat?

Your kiddos will love the train-delivered food at Buffalo Phil’s. What does this mean?
