Call or text (330) 752-2351A Train Ride for the Hall of Fame City
Canton is a town that loves to gather. Friday night football, church picnics, school fall festivals, and neighborhood celebrations keep Stark County busy all year. The Game Craze Express trackless train gives those events a centerpiece. Game Craze Party Rentals delivers it from our Norton location to Canton and the surrounding communities, complete with a trained operator who drives the train for the whole event.
What Makes the Game Craze Express Different
The Game Craze Express is styled after an early American steam locomotive. It has a headlight, a classic bell, and a steam-style whistle, and its three passenger coaches carry about 12 to 14 riders per trip. Kids love it, and since adults can ride too, parents and grandparents don’t have to wait on the sidelines.
Behind the vintage look is a gas-powered engine with electric start and a hydrostatic drive for smooth starts and stops. Our trained operator handles the driving and the loading, so your volunteers can focus on everything else.
Canton-Area Events That Are a Natural Fit

- City and township celebrations, such as summer concerts, community days, and parades
- Company picnics and employee appreciation days at parks, plants, and office campuses

- Tree lightings and holiday events that suit the train’s old-time look
- Birthday parties and HOA gatherings with a paved lot or firm, level lawn

Spooky and Christmas Express Options
Fall and winter are favorite seasons for the train. Ask about our Spooky Express for Halloween events and our Christmas Express for holiday celebrations. Both add a themed touch that guests remember.
For winter events, the organizer needs to make sure the full train route is plowed, cleared, and free of ice before the train arrives and for the entire event. The train can’t push through snow, because the coaches follow behind the engine and need a clear path. If a storm is in the forecast, call us early and we’ll talk it through.
Safety and Insurance
A trained Game Craze operator is with the train throughout your rental. We are fully insured and can provide certificates of insurance for schools, cities, churches, and businesses that need one. Final operating decisions depend on conditions at your event.
Setting Up a Route That Works
A trackless train needs a path to follow. Here’s what to look for:
- Surface: Pavement and firm, fairly level grass are ideal. Soft, muddy, or bumpy ground is not.
- Slope: Steep hills and sharp drop-offs are not safe for the train.
- Space: Make sure there’s room to turn and a clear, obstacle-free route. School lots, church parking areas, closed-off drives, and wide paved paths work well.
- Outdoors only: The train is gas-powered, so it’s intended for outdoor events.
- Weather: Heavy rain, storms, high winds, or muddy conditions may delay or stop the train.
If you aren’t sure whether your site works, send us photos or a description of the route and we’ll let you know before you book.

Canton Trackless Train Rental FAQs
How much does a trackless train rental in Canton cost?
Starting prices for up to three hours are shown in the booking box on this page; longer events are priced by duration, plus a delivery fee based on your Canton-area location. Enter your date and address on our booking page for an exact quote.
How many people can ride the train at once?
The train has three passenger coaches and carries about 12 to 14 riders per trip, depending on the size of the riders. That makes it a good fit for busy festivals, school carnivals, and church picnics.
Can adults ride, or is it only for kids?
Adults can ride too. Parents, grandparents, and volunteers are welcome to climb aboard with the kids.
Does the rental include an operator?
Yes. A trained Game Craze operator drives the train for your whole rental.
Which Stark County communities do you serve?
We deliver to Canton, North Canton, Massillon, Jackson Township, Plain Township, Perry Township, Louisville, Alliance, Canal Fulton, Hartville, and Uniontown, as well as nearby Summit, Wayne, and Portage counties. If your event is somewhere else, contact us and we'll let you know whether we can come.
Can the train run on grass, or does it need pavement?
It runs on pavement and on firm, fairly level grass. Soft, muddy, bumpy, or sloped ground may not be suitable. Send us photos or a description of your route and we'll tell you whether it works before you book.
Can the train go up hills?
For rider safety, the route should avoid steep hills and sharp drop-offs. If your property has elevation changes, contact us before booking so we can evaluate the route.
Can the train run indoors?
No. The Game Craze Express is gas-powered and intended for outdoor events. Ask us about other attractions that may suit an indoor venue.
What happens if it rains or snows?
Heavy rain, storms, high winds, and muddy conditions can delay or stop the train. For winter events, the organizer must have the entire route plowed, cleared, and free of ice before the train arrives and throughout the event, because the train cannot plow its own path through snow. Final operating decisions are made by our operator based on conditions at your event.
