Very good and fun experience. The staff explained the process multiple times and were knowledgeable in various aspects of the business, local history and safety measures. First class operation and website. Will definitely go back!

Go every year in honor of my father. He absolutely LOVED TRAINS, and my family and I go because he loved his train ride here months before he passed away during a surgery. WE Miss him EVERYDAY. LOVE YOU, AND MISS YOU DAD!!

Such a fun time! Only took 2 hours (wish it was longer!) and was a great way to get outdoors! The staff was great and the scenery was pretty. The cars have motors so it wasn’t a workout and the wind wasn’t bad due to all the trees. Would love to try the other locations around the U.S.

I am 57 yrs and exercise regularly. In your opinion, can I peddle for my father (140 pounds, weak per cancer). My mother is able to peddle, is also little. They saw this an would love to participate. Thanks

Hi Cori, as others have noted, the electric pedal assist makes the journey almost effortless. Only one person (seated in the 'stop/go seat) has to pedal to engage the motor, and there is very little effort required to pedal - it is really just rotating the pedals to trigger the motor. If you are concerned, please let the staff know and they can position you near the front or rear guide explorer, who would be happy to help out.
