It is a little old fashion train they have many events and a little museum Kids love it! It is a lot of fun.

I think the W & W is a neat family activity, but I don't think it's worth the price of admission. Cut the price a few dollars and it'd be a better value. $12 for a 45 minute train ride forward and back is not worth it. Plus, when you cross over rt. 48, very few houses decorate with Christmas lights. The highlight is the beginning in the Brookemeade section. I would suggest that if you are in a large party, sit side by side. When the train reverses, switch seats, so you can see houses on both sides. My 22-month old son loves trains, and he didn't enjoy the ride like we expected. He DID love the souvenir shop inside the station that is stocked with a good amount of Thomas stuff.

We drove up from Virginia for the Holiday Express. The staff were great. They were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back.

While this is a great example of preservation, it does not provide much of an experience. If you expect to go for a ride on a steam train you are likely to be disappointed. Most of the excursions are actually diesel powered because of the expense of maintaining and operating the steam power units. The scenery is somewhat boring and goes thru suburban neighborhoods without much to look at. Took my grandchildren on the Santa Express and the Easter Bunny Express, which are abbreviated trips, and even they were bored.

Very good for an afternoon with the kids. We went at Christmas and Santa and Mrs. Claus joined for the ride...kids had a blast!

Riding the good ol' train felt really nostalgic, and my little daughter really liked the 90-minute train ride here. Visiting here during autumn is really recommended, since the autumn-leaf tour was absolutely fantastic!

A must see if you're in the Wilmington area! The autumn leaf tour was breathtaking. Cannot wait to visit again!

My husband and I took the Halloween Express trip with our 2 year old. The Fall Foliage train the week before had sold out, but this special trip turned out to work just fine for our family. Children in costume received a 50% discount off their fare, which was a nice bonus. We live about 1.5 hours away, so there was a bit of a drive involved. The train ride itself was just about an hour, since it was the "express." That meant that the train went to the Mt. Cuba picnic area and straight back without stopping. A "good witch" (dressed in all white) greeted all the children on board, and the friendly volunteer staff went around and shared some information about the train, history, etc. The train was in great shape, and you can tell the volunteers really take pleasure in keeping things up. As other reviewers have mentioned, there is a snack bar, gift shop and restrooms in the ticket office, and a snack cart went around the train during the ride. The scenery was nice, but as expected this day in age, it went through some not-so-scenic areas, too (e.g., residential neighborhoods, highways, etc.). I would recommend sitting on the side closest the train station for the best views. For a modest investment of time and money, this was a nice afternoon for our family. I would recommend it.

This was a nice relaxing diversion. The train ride was 30 minutes out to Mt. Cuba picnic area...a 20 minute picnic...and then 30 minutes back to the station. This railroad is totally volunteer run and all the volunteers are very enthusiastic, helpful, and friendly. This is a very nice activity for families.
