What to do and see in Florida, United States: The Best Railways

December 30, 2021 Florencio Paulino

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

Definitely use this to get around the resort! With 13 miles of track, the air conditioned monorail runs efficiently throughout the park connecting the Magic Kingdom, contemporary Hotel, Epcot and the transportation hub! Great way to get around!

I was traveling from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale to catch a plane to fly back home to Canada because the flights out of West Palm Beach had 2 stops and the duration was too long. So like I did a year ago I booked the Brighline Train with my ESA dog Buddy, a large suitcase, golf clubs in a travel bag, my carry on suitcase and my purse- I was able to check the 2 large items and everyone was so helpful. We chose the 'Select' ticket so we were able to go into the lounge and have a coffee, soft drinks, beer, fruit, croissants etc all complimentary. The train ride was at a fast speed and it only took 35 minutes to get to Fort Lauderdale! Clean, great, helpful and accommodating staff and the ride was quiet and luxurious! More complementary treats on the train! The best! I will ride this train every chance I can!

Reviewed By reymoore0421 - Myrtle Beach, United States

We rode the rail from the Sandlake station to Winter Park round trip. The ride was relaxing and carefree. Just a note, once you buy your ticket, scan it on the "Tap In" monitor to mark your starting point matches the ticket purchased. Then, on your exit at you destination, swipe the ticket again to mark your conclusion to the ride. Failure to follow these instructions will default the charges to the ends or the railway line and be reflected on your credit card.

Yesterday ( saturday am) 4 of us from our church went on our first “ On THE GO TRIP”, None of us have been on the bright line since it went into service and all of us were anxious to give it a try. We boarded the train At The West Palm Beach station where every employee there was extremely helpful and so polite. The train is so clean the seats are very comfortable , they actually have a little button that you can push on the right hand side, left-hand side if you’re in the aisle that makes the seat come out maybe 6 inches longer which was kind a neat. They have a tray that comes down just like your airline seat, definitely more leg room than airplane setas,lol .They have attendents on the train that come around with the a cart and you get drinks or snacks, water was complementary. The ride down to Miami took one hour and 10 minutes and was very smooth with only one stop in Fort Lauderdale to drop off and pick up passengers.The train ran perfectly on time getting on and off was a breeze and they had plenty of personnel available if you had any questions.When we arrive down in Miami I asked a employee if she could direct me to the fastest and freeway to get over to Bayside she went Provided a map which she highlighted for me and walked me to the exit door and pointed exactly where We all needed to walk in order to board the people mover. We Spent several hours at Bayside had lunch and did a little shopping at the people mover back to the train station in Miami and they’re worried attendantd everywhere to answer any questions, This whole experience was very pleasant from beginning to end.Haven’t taken the Tri-Rail in the past I understand there’s no comparison in the price however in one must also keep in mind that there is no comparison in the cleanliness and extra Customer care with this new or train I’m very excited that it will continue to Orlando Someday.

How awesome this show was!!! Our supper train had to be rescheduled because of a hurricane and when we were able to reschedule a deal was being offered for the murder mystery experience so we added the deal. The show was so interactive and so much fun for the whole family (12 &9yr old) we left wanting to plan a lot more shows with this crew! Definitely a must do♡
