My Memphis Mommy: Amtrak-Kids Ride Free

Kids Ride Free to Celebrate 40 Years of Amtrak

I love Amtrak! When I lived in CT I used Amtrak to travel to New York City often! With the rising gas prices this might be a great option to check into for summer travel!!

Amtrak is turning 40 this year and to help celebrate, we're letting our youngest fans onboard for free. So if you book a trip now through May 6, 2011 and travel May 1 through June 9, 2011, your family can join in the celebration, and your kids will ride free.

For forty days, you can let your kids experience for free how Amtrak has changed the way people travel for the last forty years. And before they go, visit the Amtrak Kids Depot, our new website dedicated to our younger riders.

It's a great place for your kids to stop in and learn about Amtrak. And while they're getting excited about riding the train, you can be excited about them riding for free. So bring the family and join us for our 40th Anniversary celebration.
