We are rolling out our revamped spooky event!
NIGHTMARE EXPRESS BEGINS TONIGHT!
This year’s Nightmare Express will run every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday between 1 October and 30 October, 2026. Nightmare Express does not run on Halloween.
There are two ticket options available: Family Time and Scare Time. Family Time, is designed with our younger guests in mind, and is meant to be nonthreatening and fun. Staff, and volunteers give away candy during Family Time. Scare Time begins at sunset and is a designed to be a frightening and unsettling haunted attraction experience.
All tickets, all ages, are $15 (+tax.) Children age 2 and under ride for free. Ticket reservations are not required, but are highly recommended. Staff cannot guarantee any specific seat, on any specific train, at any specific time, without an advanced reservation.
The train will run every night at the scheduled time unless there is inclement weather. In the event of a weather-related cancellation, refunds will be issued automatically. Any weather cancellations are automatically posted to the Pine Mountain Gold Museum page.
Trains run every 20 minutes from 6:00 to close. Closing time varies nightly – make sure to check! Please be 30 minutes early to make sure that you get to your train on time.
The train is on a set schedule and once it leaves the depot it cannot be recalled. Abusing and threatening Staff will change nothing. You must be on time to board your train – no exceptions.
Each row on the train sits 2 people. This means that you may have to sit next to a stranger. Abusing and threatening Staff will change nothing. Each row sits 2 people – no exceptions.
Small children and riders under 2 do not get a seat to themselves. Abusing and threatening Staff will change nothing. Small children and riders under 2 must sit in lap – no exceptions.
