At around 7.5 hours Ethan Allen (not-quite) Express Train train runs daily out of New York City (Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station). Once arrived at Union Station in downtown Burlington, the venue and surrounding hotels (including Hotel Champlain) are all walking distance from the train station.

UPDATE- Mike & Madison recently took the Amtrak to tend to some on-location wedding planning and were pleasantly surprised with the Amtrak travel experience. Cushioned seats are comfier than anything on a coach flight along with the leg room you only wish you had in coach. Train is equipped with tray tables, outlets, decent enough wi-fi and a cafe car with more F&B options than you might expect (including beer & wine). Views from a window seat along the glistening Hudson River and into Vermont's luscious green mountains make for a serene, even refreshing travel experience.

The train out of NYC left at 2:15pm and arrived at Union Station (Burlington) at 9:50pm. Our welcome reception will end at midnight on Friday, 6/27, leaving at least 60-90 mins after checking into the hotel to enjoy the remainder of the welcome reception if choosing this travel option. Please be sure to check the Amtrak website this Spring '25 for the latest schedule & fare updates.

The round trip in late February was less than $165. This is likely to change as the seasons will. Just like booking any travel in general, you'll get the best prices by booking in advance.
