What is a Go Card?
 

SEASONAL. As the Carolinas’ first family Wild West Adventure theme park, Tweetsie Railroad is a unique attraction that allows children and families to explore their imagination–and a whole lot more. Be a cowgirl, cowboy, engineer, or Native American. Shop along Main Street, learn to clog or pan for gold. Tweetsie Railroad has amusement rides for all ages and live entertainment throughout the park. Enjoy the deer and goats in The Deer Park. And of course, hop aboard the historic steam locomotive train for a fun-filled three-mile Wild West journey through the scenic mountains.
