Whether your child wants to trick-or-treat at a train park or ride a haunted train with the Headless Horseman, there’s a Halloween rail experience for every age. Most are only a short drive from Portland, Oregon, and costumes are encouraged!
Trick or Treat Extravaganza at Molalla Train Park
The popular train park will be decorated for Halloween all October, but children can trick-or-treat the last Sunday in October, from 11 am-4 pm, as they explore Molalla Train Park. It’s free to visit, and train rides are free, too! Keep in mind that the park is only open on Sundays and they are volunteer-run. Donations are very much appreciated.
