Reviewed By Catchpenny - Decatur, United States
It was a little on the cold side, but there was good hot chocolate for only fifty cents, and every station had good treats/candy/trinkets to collect. We especially enjoyed the "Haunted Train Ride." There were actually people dressed in costume running after the train. It was scary, but not too scary. The Conductor made it fun.
