Baldwin City Station

Did the Santa train ride Dec '16. First class staff and a neat operation for what it is. The train does travel slow, 5 mph. I personally think its because of the age of the train cars, track condition, rural railroad crosses, but the folks on the train say its because people are up walking around. The train cars are old. One is from 1898, and that's cool, but the other are just uncool old cars. The Santa ride was 2 hours roundtrip and we didnt make it all the way to Ottawa. If our youngest likes trains we'll probably come back once for him when he's older but other than that I don't see us coming back. It was neat to do once, just know what it is before going.

Very unfortunate experience and we were so excited and wanted to love it. The train has not been updated since probably the 1970's. The trip was advertised as an hour trip, but actually took just under 3 hours which was very long for little kids. The cookies and cider weren't served until almost 2 hours in and the train ran at about 5mph the whole time. The whole experience was not what we were expecting for the price.

Santa express...disappointing. Staff was nice but the Train cars are not clean, pictures with Santa were rushed And cost extra ($10 for 1), it was raining out and the Windows leaked. Seats were wet, floors were slick, passengers legs were wet from the rain coming in. Kids on the train were bored and crying. Spent $139 for my family of 7 and wished we would have spent the money elsewhere. Would not recommend to anyone.
