Looking for a unique experience when visiting the Colorado Springs area, consider taking a ride on the Royal Gorge Railroad. Located about an hour outside of Colorado Springs in Canon City, there are a variety of train rides available. We did the Murder Mystery Train several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. In addition to the food and entertainment, the scenery during the train ride is absolutely stunning. The mysteries change on a regular basis, so even if you’ve done it before, you can enjoy a different experience if you happen to do it again.
We have done a variety of murder mystery dinners over the years, including one in a mansion in Manchester, England, with varying degrees of enjoyment. The train ride definitely makes this one very different and the food and views would have been good enough on their own. The actors walk amongst the tables providing clues and answering questions as each table tries to solve the mystery. We didn’t find the mystery particularly difficult to solve, but that didn’t detract from our enjoyment.
We love a murder mystery and doing it on a train sounds fantastic.
It was a lot of fun 🙂
Never heard of anything like that. It sounds pretty fun. Thanks as I will start looking into it when we visit Colorado!
It is a lot of fun 🙂
This sounds like tons of fun.
Oh my goodness! That sounds so fun! Makes me think of Murder on the Orient Express.

We did NOT do that when I was in Royal Gorge when I was 10 (if it was there then). I really hope to go to Colorado next summer!
Very cool! ❤️
Sounds like a fun trip with a combination of everything to keep you entertained, good views, food and a little bit of intrigue! Thank you 😊
