âGreat experience! Friendly guys to help, kids absolutely love it, plenty of space to watch the trains come through the tunnels and around the tracks. Have been here three times and a great afternoon activity. Good prices too!â

âLots of fun! The track has 2 tunnels and isn't too long for little ones. There are usually 2 trains operating and the queues are not overly long. There's also good parking.â
