Grapevine Vintage Railroad

Came here for the polar express visit and was not disappointed! Had a wonderful time, would recommend to definitely get there earlier to get pictures with Santa before the ride to avoid the post train ride rush. Would 10/10 recommend this to a friend and can't wait to come back next year!

My kids would give it 5 stars, but as a mom 3 for price alone Lol. We took them to the North Pole Express which sells out in July... yes July. For the price of tickets it's kind of a joke.Adults are $40, kids are $40 ($35 for traveling passengers and they get the same stuff). I really wish they had a more reasonable ticket price. If you want your full family together and only have 3 of you, you are required to buy the whole section, or hope no one is sitting there. They ask you to get there 1-1.5 hours early so you can walk around and be on time. We were told we could get on the train 30 mins prior but they didn't load us until about 5 mins prior and our take off was take. It goes for about 40 mins total. During that time they pass out cookies and a bell. You also sing carols. Once you get off they give you a coupon for a photo of Santa... but Santa photos don't happen until you sit through a 20 min musical production. After that they hand out the souvenir cups with chocolate milk (it was pretty good! Tasted like a frosty). Overall good experience for my 3 year old. My 1.5 year old was over it after 20 mins, but it was a fun memory to make!

Nice little train ride from Grapevine to the stockyards of Fort Worth which is a nice alternative from the get there mode of transportation. But remember, this is a slow and lazy trip that's cute and fun for younger passengers or this not in any kind of rush.A bit too corney for most people, the downsides of this train are the cramped seating, noisy A/C, cheap snacks from the local warehouse store, and no alcohol beverages. Please manage your expectations. Upside is it's a friendly venture to and fro as long as you remember you'll have to let faster trains on by.If you have the time and want a slow and enjoyable time, this is your best bet.

Husband 60th birthday...ac went out sitting in first class in 89 degrees. This.was the worst experience ever.WARNING DO NOT GO ON THIS EXCURSION ITS THE WORST

Cute train. Fun experience. Snack service was painfully, irritatingly slow. Might try a wine train but otherwise, once was enough.Edit: snack service on the return trip was like lightning. Apparently, it was just that guy. Work smarter not harder, my friend.

Loved our experience on the train. Great staff and such a fun bday celebration on our own vintage railway car. Remember to expect delays.

So much fun!! We did the Sunday trip to Fort Worth and back to Grapevine. We didn't have any problems at all and it was a fun, chill way to spend an afternoon. The cars are very clean and comfortable and you go through some pretty neighborhoods and some that need to be cleaned up, but that has nothing to do with the train. We did first class and it was $26 each and you can buy snacks and drinks onboard. The 2 hours in Fort Worth is plenty of time to eat, wander and shop, and then watch the cattle drive and gunfight. Great trip!

My wife suggested that we go to the Grapevine Vintage Railroad, and took the short ride which is the Grapevine Bear Creek Short Line which took about approximately an hour or so. They had this young lady who called herself a cowgirl and lead the group on a sing-along and we truly enjoyed it.The first class seats are actually more comfortable that the economy seats, and my wife and I and two other ladies were the only ones on the first class car.Would I go again.....can't say that I won't and can't say that I well. The young man working our area, Nick was a really nice young man, and was very knowledgeable when it came to trains.My wife had a snack on the train which consisted of, a candy bar, small bag of chips, and two soda pops total $7.00 and of course the picture was to commemorate the trip was $15.00 and they take case only for the picture.Regardless of all this, we truly enjoyed it.

The train is comfortable but the staff is not very considerate, particularly in dealing with the international tourists. Being Asian American, I felt a hint of racism. The two hours spent at the stockyards was utter confusion. There were lots of curio and souvenir places. but we could not find not one coffee shop. And no one seemed knowledgeable or willing to provide directions or assist customers. This makes for a good one time trip.

The train attendant Benjamin was very helpful and friendly. Great experience for train enthusiasts, all the other reviews are just haters. 10/10 would train again.
