We did the Polar Express. My 2 1/2 year old loved it! He was glued to the window the whole time. We got a cookie and hot cocoa. We sang Christmas songs and the staff was dressed as elves and a cook. Santa came a board and passed out a bell to everyone. We got warm on the train and took off our coats and hats and had our long sleeves on and was comfortable. It was about 30 degrees out side when we went.

We took our family up to ride the North Pole Express and the 4 little ones had a blast! They enjoyed the singing, the treats and meeting Santa Claus and all is helpers! Out biggest question going to this event was in regards to the cold. While the train is heated, the windows aren't sealed very well and those who sit by the windows get colder than those who do not. Also, the floor is very cold and I recommend wearing warm socks and boots! Everyone had a wonderful experience!

This rail is famous for the Heber creeper which is a very slow train running only at 15mph through some very beautiful scenic countryside. The railcars are all very old but have been refurbished nicely. There's a toilet too as well as a car where food is served but don't expect anything fancy. They also do other fun rides for kids. This is a great family experience. The ticket office also houses the souvenir shop where toy trains, shirts can be bought.

Got discount tickets for my youngest who is autistic. The tickets advertised the full ride around the lake. We rode to midway, turned around and went back. Even the train attendants were surprised. False advertising. Poor experience with loud music the whole time. It took away from the classic train experience we hoped for. Trax is a better alternative.

A wonderful little railroad to ride if you have the time. Winter trips are short and entertaining and they even off the very popular North Pole Express! The summer rides are really a fun time as the train takes you around the pretty reservoir and down Provo Canyon. Be sure to look into their special event evening trains too like the "Princess Train", "Rock and Roll Train", "Chocolate Lovers Train", and more!!
