âAmazing!!! The train was so good. It was only $2 a ride or 6 for $10. The train had surprisingly good speed and a decent length track . 10/10 would definitely go again.â

âThey have two things around the basin. The first on is the train station and line near their main building. The other is the water area for boating. Both are looked after by them. Quite a nice place for kids and kids at heart.â
