Experience the Would-Be Train Robbers in Grapevine, Texas
Keep your eyes on the sky! Towering 75 feet above Historic Main Street, the Grapevine Glockenspiel comes to life several times each day as the legendary Would-Be Train Robbers, Nat Barrett and Willy Majors, emerge from the tower several times each day to settle their Wild West rivalry.
One of the only attractions of its kind in North America, the Grapevine Glockenspiel puts a Texas spin on the traditional European clock tower. As the clock strikes the hour, Nat and Willy step onto the balcony to settle a score that began in 1890.
Both fictional outlaws arrived in Grapevine with the same goal - to rob a train carrying $60,000 (about $2.2 million by today’s standards). When the two discover they're after the very same prize, an old-fashioned showdown begins. The lively performance featuring 9’ tall animatronic characters delivers plenty of laughs while reminding everyone that crime doesn't pay!
Arrive a few minutes early to explore the storyboards in the viewing plaza and discover the colorful history behind these unforgettable characters before the show begins.
Please note: If wind gusts are forecast to exceed 25 mph beginning 30 minutes before a scheduled performance, Nat and Willy will remain safely inside the tower.
