We had a great time. The grandkids had never been on a train. They were so excited just to wait in the station they could hardly contain themselves. The tunnel & 4 bridges were so wonderful. Everyone was so friendly too. Can’t wait to go again. Glad we got the annual pass!!! – Joan N., Annual Pass Holder
