For children,
     and the child in each of us...

In 2007 the Gypsy Express entered its 50th year carrying children and their dreams in Staunton's sprawling Gypsy Hill Park.  The Express, Virginia's "hometown" mini-train, is operated weekends during warm weather by the Gypsy Express Incorporated, a non-profit group of enthusiastic volunteers.

The Gypsy Express operates from the first Saturday in May through October 31.  The train operates 12 p.m. until 6 p.m. each Saturday and 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. on Sundays.  Tickets are $1 per person.  All rides are free on July 4 and Labor Day.

If you are interested in a special Gypsy Express trip for your party or group, call Bob Roger at 540-885-0513.

The Gypsy Express is a fun ride, and a long trip into another era.  Today's riders are frequently the children and grandchildren of those who first rode the mini-train almost a half-century ago.  Get in on the great Staunton train adventure! The Gypsy Express added a new car in 2003 offering access to those with physical disabilities.  The new car allows everyone to enjoy the historic Gypsy Express.
