  Visited for the Santa train today with three young children (2,3 and 6) and I cannot believe how bad it was. The children were given presents in a plastic bag,... read more Santa’s beard was falling off, his outfit was old and dirty, and the elf who ‘entertained’ us was just odd.

There was no effort put into any of it. It lasted around 30 minutes and the presents that the children received were cheap and not age appropriate. The adult ‘gift’ was a pen advertising the railway.

To try to make at least one part of it enjoyable for the children, we went to the cafe afterwards for a hot chocolate...to find that they had run out and it was only 2.30pm.

It was all a shambles. Extremely badly organized and nothing like it was advertised.

  Really enjoyed the entertainment put on by Mark and his colleagues today. The staff where friendly and knowledgeable.

  We went on the Easter Sunday event with our daughter and 2 year old granddaughter. Beautiful day and had a great time on the Easter egg hunt.
Just disappointed... read more that our granddaughter was given a paw print to hand to the Easter bunny on the train but the bunny only passed us once and wasn’t collecting the paw prints. I’m assuming that the children were to receive an Easter egg from the bunny. None on the first trip today did. I must add that he/she wasn’t very friendly with the children which I must admit disappointed me.
As we were leaving in the car the next trip was just pulling out of the station and we saw the bunny on the train with an Easter basket. I can only assume the children on that trip were the lucky ones.
I did query this in the ticket office but didn’t get any answer as the gentleman was busy.

  I went here for the first time today (18th April) and truly enjoyed it. The little trip to North Thoresby and back was very cute and pleasant. Special mention to... read more Marc who greeted us very warmly and made sure we was ok. Although the Steam Locomotive failed (bless it and no ones fault as these things happen) the Diesel Engine trip was just as enjoyable. I will most definitely return again in the very near future especially that I get to enjoy the experience first time again with the Steam Engine instead.

  We took our two small grandchildren (6 and 3) on Saturday. They each received a named gift and Santa spoke to both of them, a lovely touch. The... read more gifts were just right for our two, the 6 yr old especially loved his. An added extra was that Granny and Grandad also received a small gift.
There was entertainment by one of Santa's elves to get us all in the Christmas mood.
There was also a photo opportunity with Santa at the end of the ride.
Our two loved being on the train and found it fascinating.
Absolutely brilliant, we'll organised and thorough enjoyable. Highly recommended!

  We had a lovely morning trip out on the santa train. My children (3 and 5) loved it. Marc the elf was jolly and enthusiastic and got our carriage into... read more the spirit of things with singing and dancing which made the trip so much fun.

It is a short train ride but we knew this already and saw this as a positive as our little kids won't sit still for long anyway. The toys were age appropriate and both were played with for the train journey and car journey home. I would without a doubt recommend to others with young children.
