Because of the nature of what it is we offer Alberta Prairie Railway is not able to provide alternative menu choices. Over the years what we have found is that guests find the buffet more than amble with lots of choices. In special circumstances, and as an alternative to the meat dish offered, guests can request a quality vegan burger as an alternative by pre-ordering at time of booking.
Train robberies are scheduled on all excursions travelling to Big Valley with the exception to Teddy Bear Specials and Murder Mysteries. The Reynolds Raiders, a gang of mounted bandits, rob guests of loose change. The money is donated to Alberta children’s charities.
