The French Lick Scenic Railway offers a unique setting for your next corporate outing. We can accommodate groups of 50 or more for events such as cocktail trains, cookouts, tasting trains, cowboy themed cookouts (weekends only).
Cocktail Trains are great for any size group. These rides can be customized to be simple or extravagant. These trips typically last about 75-minutes, though they can be tailored to your group’s need for a train ride slightly shorter or longer. We offer a ticketed bar, open bar, and cash bar. Beer and wine are available as well as selected mixed drinks and seltzers. Food can range from light snacks (such as chips and veggies) to heavy hors d’oeuvres (finger sandwiches, small plates, desserts… almost anything you might think of).
Do you have a large group that includes spouses and children at the conference or retreat? A train ride combined with a cookout could be a perfect fit! You and your guests will board the train in French Lick for a 45-minute ride to our event site where everyone will de-board the train for a cookout. Meals can range between burgers and hot dogs to steak and pork chops. Other services available are:
- Sound equipment
- DJ Services
- Yard games – cornhole, yard darts, horseshoes, hillbilly golf
- Ticketed, open, or cash bar
You can also take your experience to the next level by arranging a Cowboy Cookout. Everything for a regular cookout is available PLUS… Cowboys! This band of robbers will put on a show as the train arrives at the event site. Horses, guns, and even the local marshal. After the marshal slows things down, the cowboys will join your group for dinner. Please note that the cowboys are typically only available on weekends.
If your group is made up of connoisseurs of a particular type of liquor, then a private tasting train may be just what you are looking for. Based on the special event Tasting Trains offered each year, these trips offer a combination of drinks and small plate food pairing that will complement the alcohol. The experience lasts about 70-minutes and provides passengers with a background on each type of drink or spirit served, and the best food pairing to go with it. The following tasting trains are currently offered. These are 21+ events only.
The French Lick Scenic Railway welcomes groups of all sizes. If your company is interested in booking a trip with us, we would be more than happy to help. We schedule our groups on any of our regularly scheduled trips throughout the week or on the weekends. Visiting the French Lick Scenic Railway is always more pleasant if you can enjoy it with a large group of your friends and family!

This will ensure that you and your party can sit together during our 1 3/4-hour train tour. All groups are advised to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your departure time.
