Rhode Island has begun a two-week pause, which is allowing us time to spend time with our families, do some online shopping.... and make holiday plans for the near future. There are still plenty of ways to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year in Rhody, some of which are a little more out-of-the-box than others. The Newport & Narragansett Bay Railroad Co. has received a lot of praise for their efforts to provide a safe, healthy environment for guests to enjoy their train rides. And their holiday murder mystery dinner is pretty enticing.
The Newport & Narragansett Bay Railroad Co. is located in Portsmouth.
This is Rhode Island's only tourist and dinner train, and it's a fantastic company.
You can choose from several different train ride experiences, depending on the season.
The Grand Bellevue Dinner Experience is the most popular pick. But during the holiday season, it's all about the Jingle on the Rails Holiday Dinner Train and Breakfast With Santa.
This year looks different than the others... so this year, we're recommending something a bit different.
Dead As a Doornail - A Holiday Murder Mystery is an interactive experience you won't want to miss.
The premise is simple: With 1939 coming to an end, a local charity has decided to spread Christmas joy with a production of A Christmas Carol, with the passengers serving as the invited guests.
But not everyone is filled with the spirit of the season. When a cast member ends up dead, you'll have to solve the mystery.
This delightful and mysterious experience comes with a multi-course dinner that includes your choice of soup or salad, a bread plate, an entree, and a decadent dessert.
You can also choose from several meal additions and partake in something from the full bar.
Tickets to Rhode Island's holiday murder mystery dinner train start at $99.95 per person.
Reservations are required, so you'll want to make sure to buy your tickets online first. Due to current restrictions, trains will be operating at a 40% capacity.
You have until December 26th to try and solve this murder mystery. Get your tickets here.
