The steam train was an awesome surprise, for three bucks you can go for a quick little 13 minute ride around the property. For three bucks I feel like this is a great deal most amusement parks or other rides would only be a three or five minute activity, and they would be charging you $8 to $10. This is a great place for families to go.

Best open ride through the forest! The entrance is right next to the first parking lot when you enter the park as you come from South. I am not sure of the timing, but we did not have to wait. The ticket is very cheap, 3$/ person, and the ride is worth above the price. We are in for a 15-20 min ride through the forest and I would recommend the open carriages.
