What We’re All About
Seasonal Fun for Everyone
Looking for family-friendly train rides in Lebanon, Oregon? You’ve come to the right place! At Tennessee Thunder, trains aren’t just for getting from Point A to Point B — they’re for making memories, giggles, and maybe a little pumpkin spice magic along the way. Tennessee Thunder is proudly family-owned and operated by Matthew and Ashley LeFever, with plenty of help (and bossing around) from their two conductors-in-training, Reeve and Matley.
Our pride and joy is a 1/4-scale train that winds through our four-acre private park, perfect for things to do with kids or a fun family outing. Big enough to feel like an adventure, small enough that you won’t lose Grandma. Well… you might lose Grandpa since he could get to chatting with Matt about the vintage equipment and vehicles around the yard. It’s the kind of place where kids can run, parents can breathe, and everyone leaves with a smile (and maybe a pumpkin or two).
Seasonal Fun on the Tracks
Summer Rides
When the sun’s out, the tracks are rolling! Enjoy spacious areas to roam and explore, along with 1/4-scale train rides through our scenic park. Think of it as recess, but with a train whistle.

December – Holiday Night Light Rides
