Reviews / Testimonials

I had a great time on the train last Friday night, the beer selection on the Refresher is really good!

This is such a fun and unique experience and the staff is so amazing and hardworking to make sure their guests have a great time! Would recommend it over and over!

We went on the Magical Christmas Train and it was the best holiday train we have tried. It was worth the drive from the Bay Area and we will return next year.
