Had our son's 3rd birthday here. Wonderful place, and friendly staff. Many different types of trollies that are in great condition, with many of them still in running order. Great for a party or just a visit.

Nice ride. Loved the idea with Santa ride. Kids loved it. Good amount of history, pictures, exhibits. Wish it had some more of everything. Otherwise, the whole visit can take up to 40 min.
