Family Vacations by Train

The Rail Journey Is Part of Your Vacation

Tired of long lines at the airport? Shocked by outrageous gas prices and sky-high airfares? Do something different — take your next family vacation by train and your kids ages 2 - 15 ride half off and infants ride free. This could be the best family vacation you've ever had.

Nothing like a Train Ride Family Vacations by Train

Treat your family to a one-of-a-kind experience. They'll never forget their first trip by train. During the journey, they'll witness an ever-changing panorama unfolding outside the window. Introduce them to the pleasures of onboard dining, and for a special treat, reserve sleeping accommodations onboard. Most of our long-distance trains feature Dining Cars that serve three meals a day, with full menus and table service. Just stop by for breakfast and lunch, or make dinner reservations with our onboard staff. Our chefs are ready to prepare your order.

Feel Free to Move about the Cabin Family Vacations by Train

Tired of narrow airline seats — and having to stay in them? On a train, things are different. Relax in our spacious seats, or drop by the Café Car for a bite to eat, a game of cards, or just to socialize with friends or new acquaintances. In the evening, enjoy a relaxing meal in the Dining Car.

More Vacation, Less Hassle

On Amtrak, your vacation starts the minute you board your train. Arrive at your destination refreshed and ready to tour around.
