β€œIf you want a nice surprise for your little ones, this is it. The train runs o ly on weekends, good weather provided. After the ride, there is a lot more to do. Walking through the garden, spending time at the playground or having a bite and a drink at the Harvester restaurant.”

β€œLove the trains. Loved them when I was a kid and now as a 50 year old man I still loved riding them with my Dad! Brought back great memories and the Engines are gorgeous. Recommended for any age it’s a blast!”
