Great place to visit. It survives solely on donations from visitors. I have been taking my son here for years and we always have a great time.

This place is so fun!! I dont care how old you are, trains are amazing. The people that run it are kind and fun. They have fun little towns and other things set up along the train route. Its just a great place to go spend a Sunday afternoon.In my one photo, zoom to see the town.

Family experience was great! Be prepared to use porta-potties though! 2 mobility challenged people in my party almost had an awful accident trying to find an accessible bathroom (& they almost didnt let my 85 year old Grandma use it!) Was straightened out, the rest of the day was wonderful. The kids (& adults) loved the train rides

This place is awsome. We have come for the last 5 years and every year it gets better. I can hardly wait to see what they plan for 2019.

Our favourite spot during holidays. Plan to visit during winter when they run the trains decorated with lights. You will love it. Kids would really enjoy the rides. Do not miss the train museum where your kid will get a chance to operate the model trains on their own.

Went for a free train ride and instead had to buy tickets labeled donations. Then, the Santa was really rude. When I told him he was being rude, he told me he wasnt because he allowed my kids to play while they waited for the train to arrive. He also said that he didnt care that he was rude. Lastly, every year they have model trains with cookies and hot chocolate after the train ride, but not this year. Also, half the lights on the train ride either werent working or they didnt put them up. We have been coming here for 10 years and this was the worst ever. Super rude and very disappointing.

Free train rides are awesome. The kids loved it! Be prepared for a long line during the holiday light rides. We waited almost 2 hours for the 20 minute ride. It is only 4 days till Christmas. We went last year just after Christmas and the lines were much shorter. It is by donation, so take a few bucks to drop in the bucket if you are going to go ride.

A Christmas tradition. A couple of hiccups this year (went early on in the season) with a train breaking down and not all the lights being up. Will need to go later in the season. Still a magical time for the littles.

Great place to go for their holiday lights! You can visit the smaller trains on the side in the museum. We go for the train ride during December they have it on the weekends. Great family tradition. It’s free. We usually buy a souvenir or make a donation. It gets better every year love having this in our community.

I would have given it five stars but we went on the busiest Saturday evening of the Christmas season.The lights and train ride were wonderful and both my young ones thoroughly enjoyed that part of it. Unfortunately, the two hour wait to get on the train was a bit much for them. They did enjoy the donations only hot chocolate as well. All the volunteer workers were wonderful.

Cute, fun little place. We went for the lights and Santa for the first time. Super busy, but that should be expected for events of that sort. The only sad part is that if your child cant walk they cant go on the train ride (even if youre wearing them in a pack).

I went here last night with my family and enjoyed myself, EXCEPT for the santa they had. He was rude, didnt smile in ANY of the pictures we took. My nephew and his friend were just goofing around and the santa said rudely your getting reindeer poop for Christmas. We asked if we could get a picture and he straight out said NO! I HAVE A LINE! What line was he talking about? The line of 5 people behind us??? Hope you guys find someone who actually LIKES doing their job instead of being grumpy. Wont be returning next year. Thank God it was free or else I would be asking for my money back.

This is quite a place, especially if you have children, or are a kid at heart!!! Acres and acres, and I suspect several miles worth, of different rail routes that you can ride into the desert, with lots of little things to spot along the way . Miniature rideable trains criss-cross their way out into the desert and back for a wonderful journey that kids and adults alike will thoroughly enjoy. Afterwards, several scale model railroads are available for viewing. All in all, a GREAT place to visit!!!
