- Fathers - All Aboard at the Whippany Railway Museum
Updated 6/14/2011
Father’s Day is June 19 and if you are looking for something special to do with, or for Dad, then we have the perfect list for you.
Below is our List of train related Father’s Day Weekend Events. Most are events for the whole family but there are few that are trips that Dad might like to be ‘sent on’. Remember, some excursion-type events have limited seating and can sell out in advance so click the event link to get full details on each event.
If you have a train related Father’s Day story that you would like to share, please send it our way! If you know of an event that we don’t, do let us know and we’ll get it on the list right away.
