Dinosaur Express Train

About This Event

Dinosaurs are coming back to Golden, Colorado— only this time, they are arriving on the Dinosaur Express Train! On Saturday and Sunday, May 30-31, railroad tracks will meet dinosaur tracks for a day of family fun at the Colorado Railroad Museum, when the Dinosaur Express Train chugs into the museum’s station. The world’s first Stegosaurus and Apatosaurus fossils were found at nearby Dinosaur Ridge, and Golden is where the first T-Rex tracks were found. So, it’s only fitting that two of every kid’s favorite things – dinosaurs and trains - be brought together for this fun festival! Activities will include:  •  Rides on a train pulled by a coal-fired steam locomotive around the Museum’s half-mile circle of track, with the Dinosaur Express Train departing every half-hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. •  A “Follow the Dinosaur Tracks Adventure,” where kids and families can follow large dino       tracks around 15 acres of locomotives, rail car, cabooses and model trains.  •  Dinosaur-themed activities hosted by the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Dinosaur Ridge and the Morrison Natural History Museum. • The Museum’s own mascot “Spike, the Railroad Dog” will be on hand for photo opportunities.  •  Food, drink, and tasty treats will be available for purchase.  Capacity is limited, so don’t delay!
