This ride is definitely a waste of time and money. While I always look for the upside of a situation, this ride was a complete write off. The station is quaint enough. I am a wheelchair user. Boarding the train was fairly smooth and I got situated easily. I was full of anticipation for perhaps a narrated tour of historic interest and natural beauty (this was after all Hocking Hill). Once we left the station it was a huge let down. The train went down tracks and the only views were of abandoned carriages, corn fields, dilapidated homes, a lumber yard and some kind of mining place. Then we turned back to go to the "village." We passed the old station again and headed on an additional two miles (again no foliage or anything pretty to see on the way). Once at the village I was told that wheelchair users could not descend!! There was NO disclosure of this at the start of the trip. So I sat on board for 30-40 minutes while everyone else got off to use the rest rooms and grab some snacks. My friend who saw the "village" said it was just a run down set of stores, nothing well maintained or historic about it. A waste. We turned back then after wasting 2 precious hours. On our way out of the park we drove by the same sights we saw from the train! Honestly, I have no personal grudge against anything or anyone here but if you value your time and you're on a tight schedule, give this one a MISS.

Went on the fall foliage tour-- although the trees aren't cooperating this year we had a wonderful, relaxing time. We could hear the narration perfectly, the windows were large and clean and the conductor very nice and helpful. Definitely recommend it!

This place is pretty nice.. friendly people that great you with a smile. If you want a seat on one of the open air cars you what to show up early.

JUST SAY NO!! Too long and views were not worth the money! I wish I had read more reviews before I booked this tour. Our kids had never been on a train ride so we thought this would be a fun family event to ride a train and see some scenic views, it didn't turn out that way. The cabin cars that had AC did not feel that cool so we decided to sit outside in a covered open air train car, we had a good breeze but it was still fairly hot and the train was LOUD. But the worst part is the views, or lack there of! We saw roads, cars, houses, a river and some hills, but no views like what you see at the state park. And you don't go in a circle, the train goes down the track and then reverses and goes back so you see the same thing you just saw. Then you actually pass the Depot and continue on the other way. They stop for a half hour so you can see some old cabins and buildings where they sell overpriced ice cream and water. Our 2 hour train tour was actually 2 1/2 and it really should only be an hour for how crappy it is. Just stick to the actual Hocking Hills state park in Logan and steer clear of Nelsonville, you'll be much happier!

The website says to get there early, which we did. We arrived 45 minutes early and still had to find a spot on one of the older cars, which was quite dirty. The car was heated and my kids were excited to see Santa. The website described the ride as scenic. Definitely not what we expected. You ride along the main road for most of the trip and then the train stops and you go back exactly the way you came. Not exactly what I would describe as scenic with the view we had.... Very disappointed in the experience, too much money for what we got.
