If it's hot get there early so you can sit in the open cars facing the water. We got there late and had to sit in the enclosed cars which would have been fine with the windows open but the Windows continually slammed shut during the ride. We ended the ride with 3 windows open out of 16. The tour was ho-hum, nothing spectacular or that interesting. It seemed most of the time was spent stopped waiting and accommodating the cruise customers. My son enjoyed it, well he enjoyed himself despite the lack of excitement or engagement. The museum was fairly interesting but not much in terms of kids interest besides the wooden train set. Lots of don't touch and just look. Parking is included in the price which is a plus. Overall I probably won't choose to do it again if I could go back. Although this is one of the cheaper activities to do with a family it was hardly worth the $30+ spent. Staff was very friendly!

Excellent ride along the river, incredible views, and even a stop at the end for pictures of the bay and the train. About a half dozen Ingress Portals/Pokestops along the way, and the train goes the perfect speed for trekker/hatch credit as a bonus for those that play either game.

I loved riding the narrow gauge. My friend and I went on this and took a ton of pictures. It was on a hot day, and since the railroad runs along the water there was a very refreshing breeze. Perfect place for a short outing.

So great I become a annual pass member. Small but great for kids and a wonderful train ride. If you go a few times makes sense to pay for the year membership

It's a nifty little train by the water. I guess it's narrow gauge. Not sure what that means. I think I passed by it once and was perplexed. Check it out for yourself bro.
