This railway ride near Toronto feels like a mini autumn trip aboard the Hogwarts Express

It's just missing the candy trolley!

Lead Writer, Travel

All aboard! This enchanting fall ride takes you through a dreamy forest of red and gold leaves. You can take in the autumn foliage aboard a vintage street car for a totally unique adventure.

Halton County Radial Railway, located in Milton, is a magical place to visit during the autumn season.

According to the website, the attraction is "Ontario's first and largest electric railway museum" and is home to "historic electric railcars operating on two kilometres of scenic track."

You can hop aboard a vintage streetcar and enjoy a scenic ride through a beautiful fall forest. The old-world vibes of the railcar will have you feeling like you're travelling on the Hogwarts Express.

The ride takes about 20 minutes and will immerse you in a sea of colours.

Admission is $24 per adult and includes unlimited historic streetcar rides, access to the grounds, display barns and historic Rockwood Station.

You can also head to the gift shop where you'll find unique railway-inspired gifts and tasty treats. Most visits last a few hours, but you can stay as long as you'd like.

The museum is open on weekends in October so start planning a magical fall adventure.

If you're looking for more scenic experiences, you can check out the Waterloo Central Railway or South Simcoe Railway.
