Murder Mystery Dinner Train: Dine and Unravel Mysteries on the Rails

What an amazing and fun experience. Took the Thanksgiving ride and highly recommend any time and trip that they offer. As always location and parking are first and both are excellent and plentiful. Boarded by car description and and greeted by Olivia who was so very attentive and pleasant throughout the hours. Table's only seat four so our group of five were in two tables but right across from each other. Make sure when you make reservations and your group is larger than four that you let them know. We were lucky and sat with a very pleasant couple but know that's always a chance. Table's were set with a nice fruit and cheese tray but know that additional crackers are not available. Since this was the Thanksgiving ride the menu was set with Ceaser Salad, Corn Chowder soup, then two nice slices of White Meat Turkey, mashed potatoes, string beans, Cranberry and squash. All were great, hot and enough that several guests took some home. The mystery player's were such a joy and made the experience well worth the costs.

Had an absolute BLAST! The show was put on so well, the acting was hilarious and enthusiastic. Vibe on the train car was very happy and light. As for the food service..... wow. Michelle and Spencer (?) were absolute machines. I was so incredibly impressed with the smoothness of the courses, dish placing and removal - all while being very informative, kind, and professional. Thank you so much for making our evening so special.

We're glad we did it but once is enough. The story was good and the actors did a decent job. They talked very loudly but I'm sure that had something to do with trying to make sure that everyone in the train car could hear, even those with hearing disabilities. The servers were polite and friendly and worked efficiently. The biggest negative was that it was excruciatingly hot. It was somewhat difficult to really enjoy the experience with that kind of heat. However, the food was decent. The salmon was cooked maybe a minute or 2 too long but my husband's prime rib was a perfect medium rare. If you've never been, it's worth checking out for a unique experience.

On January 24, 2026 we attended this event. While the Murder Mystery Dinner Train in Fort Myers offered a clean, well-organized car, a delicious 5-course meal, and impressed with hard-working staff, the overall experience felt overpriced and underwhelming. The slow, bumpy ride passed through industrial, graffiti-covered areas, and the high cost, combined with post-trip tipping, made it feel poor value for money. If you suffer from motion sickness this wouldn't be for you! This themed murder mystery dinner was a blast, featuring a five-course meal and a highly engaging, well-dressed, and hilarious cast of actors. The food was excellent, with options like prime rib, salmon, or chicken francese, and the portions were so generous I went home with 50% leftovers. However, the dessert was disappointing—far too sweet and tasted store-bought. While water and coffee were included, other drinks were very expensive and could only be ordered during specific, restricted times. While I appreciated the food and the show, I won't be returning until the tracks are repaired. Given how packed the trains are, it is obvious this is a profitable event, so they should invest in track maintenance to improve the experience

From start to finish, the staff made the whole experience unforgettable: attentive, friendly, and totally in character! The mystery kept us guessing, the food hit the spot, and the vintage train atmosphere added so much charm. I highly recommend for a night of laughs, suspense, and great service!

It's a hidden gem in Ft Meyers. Service and food was great. The Murder Mystery, Cold Case was very interesting. The cast was having great fun and interacting with the passengers.

Everything was Great. The People, the Food. Very nice Prime Rib by the way. The Show was terrific. I would recommend this EXCEPT... WARNING: To Anyone that gets motion sickness Either try Dramamine before Boarding or Don't go. It's a 3 and a half hour Slow Very Rocky (side to side) ride the entire time. Aside from that... Everything else was nice.

Me and the wife had the pleasure of riding the murder mystery train on 8/2/25. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The actors for the show are pretty funny and get you involved with the show. The food was real good. I had the Orange glazed Salmon with green beans and rice. It was real tasty. My wife had the Chicken dinner with green beans and rice. She said the chicken was tender and very good. The train ride is cool as the train does some rocking back and forth. The other customers that were riding the train were nice.
