Tweetsie Railroad strives to make our guests' visits fun, safe, and memorable. For this reason, beginning our 2024 season the park is implementing a Chaperone Policy. The new policy includes:
Chaperone Requirements: All guests 15 or under in age must be accompanied by a responsible adult chaperone who is 21 years or older. The chaperone must remain in the park during the entire visit and be available by phone to each person in the party.
Chaperone-to-Guest Ratio: For every 10 guests age 15 or under, there must be at least one chaperone that remains in the park during the entire visit and be available by phone to each person in the party.
Identification: Chaperones may be asked to present a government-issued ID upon entry into the park. Photos of IDs will not be accepted.
We believe that this new policy will help create a safe and enjoyable environment for all our visitors, and we appreciate your cooperation in making 2024 an incredible year for everyone!
