It was a nice experience... Very kid friendly... They give hot (warm) chocolate and a sugar cookie... We went out 30 min. Then they come around and take photos (1for $15/ 2 for $20). First photo of me that actually looks GOOD! And all the children get a present from the elves. Santa comes thru and speaks with each child and you can take a quick photo. Then they come thru and sing a couple Christmas carols... We sang Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. By this time your back at the train station, and Santa sat on... read more

We really enjoyed this experience tonight. It was our 4 year olds birthday and she had a great time. Older kids might not be that into it, though it was pretty cool. Yes it's pricey, but I'm sure running a steam engine from 1907 isn't cheap. Everyone wants something for nothing. We can't wait to do it next year!

We drove two hours to ride the train today. Tickets were showing to be available for the 3:30 train and when we got there we were told the train was canceled. It still shows that tickets are available for that ride today. I can only imagine how frustrated I would have been had I bought my tickets online like I thought about. The man working at the ticket counter was very apologetic. It was very irritating to my family and disappointing for my small child. 

Business response:

Not sure where you are getting your info. The 330 train left on time! Sorry you got some incorrect information.
