Easter Bunny Express

Children of all ages can visit with the Easter Bunny at the Verde Canyon Railroad depot prior to the train's departure. The train's favorite "seasonal employee", this honorable hare loves giving out handfuls of treats and armloads of hugs before bidding farewell to everyone on the train as it departs at 1 p.m. Get your photo taken with the big bunny and be sure to enter your best guess in our jelly bean contest. The Easter fun keeps going onboard with a presentation of the winner-take-all jellybean counting contest winner by the Rare Rabbit himself. On board the train, adults can enjoy a spring-fresh Bloody Mary bursting with so many vegetables a rabbit would love it.
