Eggsperience Spring in Maine
Celebrate season of with one of the most unique Easter events in Maine—a scenic steam train ride and Easter egg hunt in the heart of Midcoast Maine. Departing from Alna (near Wiscasset, Bath, and Brunswick) the Eastertime Eggspress brings families to SeaLyon Farm for outdoor fun, animals, a fabulous farmstand, horse wagon rides, fresh food and classic springtime traditions.
Climb aboard a historic narrow gauge steam train and travel through the Sheepscot Valley to SeaLyon Farm, where a full Easter experience awaits.
This family-friendly event includes:

With over two hours of activities, this is more than just an egg hunt—it’s a complete family outing in Midcoast Maine, perfect for kids, parents, and grandparents alike.
The Easter egg hunt will be set on the farm across 3 separate fields, divided by age: birth-3, 4-6, and 7+. Don’t forget to bring your own basket for the hunt!
Ticket price includes a historic steam train ride, wagon rides, farm admission with an age-appropriate egg hunt, horse drawn wagon rides, and parking at Sheepscot. (Please bring your own baskets for the egg hunt.) Refreshments and farm products are sold separately by SeaLyon Farm and their partners.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of this event, wheelchairs (and those with severe mobility constraints) can not be accommodated. While we love animals at the farm, household pets are not allowed.
Eggspress trains depart Sheepscot station (97 Cross Road, Alna) promptly at 10:00a, 11:45a, 1:30p, and will return to Sheepscot at 12:40p, 2:25p, and 4:10p, respectively. Note that the railroad cars are not heated, so please dress accordingly.

About SeaLyon Farm
SeaLyon Farm is beautifully situated amongst the rolling woods and fields of Alna just south of Head Tide and adjacent to the WW&F’s Top of Mountain station. Wagons (horse-drawn, when available) meet every arriving train to transport each group to the farm. When horses are present (all events, except the Pig Roast Farmstand Express) everyone will have the opportunity for an extended tour of the farm and countryside aboard a horse-drawn wagon while traversing to, from, or about the farm.
At the farm, children will be allowed to hunt the fields for eggs (divided by age birth-3, 4-6, and 7+.) Please bring your own basket for the hunt!
Depending on the weather and nature of the event, activities and vendors at SeaLyon Farm will likely include:
- Horse wagon rides from Mike & Ace of Woodfield Farm.
- Tasty food prepared on-site from select, local vendors.
- A selection of locally-produced adult beverages (beer and cider) from Six River Cider (subject to availability.)
- Jams, salsas, and lavender products and many other goodies from the SeaLyon Farm Store.

SeaLyon is a working farm that grows agricultural products and raises bees for honey. As such, those who do not enjoy the outdoors or appreciate farm animals, have severe mobility issues, or wish to wear clothing/footwear that is not suitable for outdoor activities may wish to consider a train ride or other event that does not include a visit to the farm. For their safety, and the safety of the farm animals, pets are not permitted at events held at SeaLyon Farm. Please make note of the weather forecast and dress accordingly. There is very limited shelter at the farm and the train itself is not heated (or air conditioned).
The WW&F Railway partners with SeaLyon Farm throughout the year on a variety of excursions including Steam & Sleighs, Eastertime Eggspress, Pig Roast Farmstand Express, Lavender Pickin’ Trains, and Pumpkin Pickin’ Trains. SeaLyon Farm also sponsors the Victorian Christmas Marketplace which takes place at the WW&F Pavilion at Alna Center each holiday season.
