Seating Information:
Please note, the Grapevine Vintage Railroad requires guests to reserve seats by the bench for this excursion. Each bench accommodates two guests. This means for parties of odd numbers, an even number of seats must be selected at checkout. A family of three, for example, would select four seats on two benches, which can be turned to face each other on the train.
