Relive the Age of Steam with Engine Number 9, going down St. Jacob's line. My 8 year old son and I had a good time riding on the coaches pulled by the steam train. It's amazing to see the huge iron horse puffing and hear the wheels chugging along. Part of the experience is the Run Past, where you get off the train in the middle of a field--safely behind a roped off area. Then the train backs up a bit, then comes charging back towards you. It's a neat opportunity to see and photograph the train in action. (You can't really see the engine from inside the coach cars). The volunteers and crew make the experience truly worth-while as you can have the opportunity to ask them all kinds of questions and hear some neat stories. I would have liked to hear a narration during the train ride about the history of the engine but I was glad that my son and I spoke to some of the volunteers after the ride.

Wonderful place for all the old train fanatics among family and friends. We took the steam train ride; also great fun travelling in the old rail cars. We sat in the old "smoking" section; with the windows down the views were great and the breeze was cool on a hot day. PS there is no smoking except for the steam engine itself.

I took my husband here for our 35th Wedding Anniversary as he loves trains. We got there early and spoke to the conductor about the train and the trip. I asked him how long the train ride was and he said 1 hr 3/4 to 2 Hrs. We went down the track and came back in 45 minutes. Was a terrible experience. When you see the train ride online it looks beautiful not just going behind peoples homes and business also stank of BO. Then had to pay for the miniature train museum. Maybe if u have a ticket for the train it should be free?

We went to the wizarding festival, and it was brilliant! Very well organized, everyone working/volunteering there were really friendly and got into character! Me and my kids loved it, thank you so much!

We went to the wizard festival and the prisoner escape train ride. It was so fun! My kids loved the train ride, especially the trivia. For an adult it was a little cheese, but the kids said it was the best day ever. The people who put this festival on do a really good job especially if they are local highschool students (which I heard from a previous review). The vendors were great, all hand crafted items that my kids really loved. The preshow was entertaining for not only the kids but adults. I was skeptical after reading negative reviews about these events so I want people to know it is fun!! A little confusion on where to go for preshow, but we also didn't read our map. Food options were very limited, but good for the size of the event. Sadly we have allergies so we were not able to eat there. If you're a Potter fan or kids are then definitely check out this event. The past reviews are a shame because there is a day full of fun here and it is very entertaining for kids. Thanks to everyone that out this on! Oh and the steam engine is so amazing!!! Incredible to just see it run let alone go on a ride. Can tell the love and sweat that had gone in to it.
