Witness the Impossible
Experience a historic first: A train ride to watch world-class acrobats and aerialists performing among towering redwoods. Departing from Willits!
Step into a world where the impossible doesn’t just come alive beneath the redwoods, you ride a train straight to it, disappearing into the forest and arriving at a circus.
From September 11–27, 2026, journey by rail from Willits to a secret clearing and watch The Cricket & The Wren, an extraordinary performance by Flynn Creek Circus.
As the train slows and the redwoods part, a surreal scene materializes: a vintage red-top tent draped in the wilderness as if by dream or mischief. Here, world-class acrobats and aerialists bend gravity, transforming the forest into a living stage where story, spectacle, and nature blur together.
This isn’t just a performance; it’s a beautiful historic marvel! A circus you can only reach by rail and a show that feels discovered rather than attended.
Sip on refreshments, browse exclusive merchandise, and lose yourself in a magical evening where the forest itself becomes part of the spectacle. This train from Willits is a journey into a secret world few will ever see.
A wonderous journey awaits…
