All Aboard Adventure in Greenfield Village

2027 programming will be announced closer to the start of the event. Please check back for more information.

Experience the power and possibility of Greenfield Village in motion for one special weekend. Historic locomotives lead the way in this hands-on, village-wide celebration where steam, big machines and classic play take center stage for children of all ages.

From the first sound of the whistle, unlimited steam and diesel train rides wind through the Village on music-filled journeys designed to spark imagination. Step even closer to the action by pushing a discovery railcar, helping maneuver the historic turntable outside the Detroit, Toledo & Milwaukee Roundhouse, sitting in the cab of the 1897 D&LN #7 locomotive and watching a working crane in motion. With special behind-the-scenes access, railroading is brought vividly to life in ways rarely seen.

Climb aboard, honk the horns and explore a lineup of working emergency and construction vehicles at Detroit Central Market, discovering how these everyday machines and the heroes who operate them serve our communities.

Across the village green, lawn games and open-air amusements take center stage with carnival games, parachute and bubble activities, a strawbale maze, maypole demonstrations and more. Story times, live musical performances and a roaming magician add to the festive fun. These timeless outdoor activities, spanning from the early 1900s to today, continue to spark curiosity and joy.

Come ready to climb aboard and leave inspired.
