Awesome side attraction well worth the ticket and not expensive so go and see the place for a short but pleasant train ride. Very friendly train conductor. I recommend.
Sad to see them spraying chemicals that will go into our air & streams. There are more eco friendly solutions that can be used.
Great little train staffed by a seemingly endless number of happy volunteers. Check the schedule before you go, but definitely take the time for a ride if it is running!
We used the trail for running. The station is cute clean restrooms. The trail is paved a little rolling hills. Pretty scenery.
Great experience for the kids! Thankful for the volunteers who make this possible.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
Good place if you need a restroom
This was disappointing. We were there to ride the train and none of the volunteers showed up. The website said they were running. Probably won't go back to try again.
Awesome side attraction well worth the $3 for a short but pleasant train ride. Very friendly train conductor.
We took the train with the kids and grandkids and had a great time. It's not the fastest way of getting there but it's more fun.
My grandkids loved the motor car ride! We are going to go again and have lunch at Poor Red's!
