Recently considered a destination city by tourists, many local folks are choosing Grapevine area attractions as their first choice for day-tripping. So join in the fun and experience what our hometown has to offer. You may be surprised at what all is here!                                                                                                                                                        Grapevine Vintage Railroad                              The Grapevine Vintage Railroad's steam and diesel engines pull renovated excursion trains through Tarrant County, offering a turn-of-the-century sightseeing experience from four passenger coaches and two touring coaches. We invite you and your family to experience the true essence of rail travel as it used to be in these beautiful coaches that date back to the 1920's.
The Cotton Belt Railroad District in Grapevine is anchored at 707 S. Main Street by the Station House. The District is home to many community landmarks, such as the Grapevine Historical Museum, the Blacksmith's shop and the Visitor Information Center. These vintage structures provide opportunities for residents, school children and visitors to explore Grapevine's heritage.   There are two locations to catch the Grapevine Vintage Railroad trains: passengers may board the train either in Grapevine or at the Fort Worth Stockyards Station. Passengers on the Fort Worth run have time to debark and shop in the rustic Stockyards before returning to Grapevine. On the run to Grapevine, riders may get off in Grapevine to sightsee for a while, and later, board the return train back to Fort Worth. Both trips are a great adventure for train enthusiasts and families alike. Check the Web site often for special Grapevine Vintage Railroad events, including a spring "A Day Out with Thomas," and the very popular winter holiday train event, "North Pole Express." As an added attraction, the GVR is offering a romantic evening on Valentine's Day - the Sweetheart Express Experience, designed especially for couples. These special event train rides always sell out, so get your tickets early.
