We used to come here and loved the train. Today we stopped by but the gate was closed. I think they are still fully closed despite what was written in google map guide.

Awesome steam train ride for almost 15 mins inside the woods. Kids enjoyed the ride with sound and steam gushing out of the engine. Definitely a different experience for the families too. It brought back our good old memories. It was bit cold inside, carry jackets if carrying small kids. Worthy visiting this place!
