Outstanding leisurely ride through beautiful southern Indiana. Well worth the trip.
Great fun experience for all ages. I recommend visiting during the holiday period when they are offering the Polar Express experience with Christmas theme and actors portraying characters from the book and movie. Lots of fun for everyone.

More like zero stars. Missed the train by about 3 minutes. Refund? Nope. Tough. While they did offer a voucher, they were never able to fully explain why they needed to keep my money when we didn't go. Voucher? Nope. No reason to ever stop off here again with the way they treat paying customers. Whatever you do, DO NOT pay in advance! You'll never see those funds again.
This place is small but full of wonder, and wonderful goodies! Souvenirs galore. And reasonably priced. And of course, the main attraction, train rides through some of the most beautiful countryside! I absolutely love this place and all the amazing volunteers who make the train rides special.
This is not a museum. Mostly a small collection of rustic rail equipment. The people inside the depot were only interested in selling me tickets for the theme train. The hotel doorman was much more helpful with information on the history of the train cars. Update: We did the theme train. Not a huge fan, but the kids liked it. Tickets were pricey and the train cars needed some maintenance. I have changed my review to 3stars based mostly on the cute little trolley. Very fun and will take you between hotels.
Some members of our family had never been on a train and here in Southern Indiana there are no trains nearby so this trip was a great experience for them. There were some lovely sights and the train robbery was fun corny, but cute It's a great way to spend a day with your family. There are lots of great places to visit while you are in the area if you do your research online first and manage your time the train ride only requires a couple of hours.
Very good nice ride, like the museum, trolley was not open other than that pretty good
I took my 7yr old & 4 yr old. They absolutely loved it! It's nice for all ages. Reasonably priced. Definitely would love to come back :
