Easter Bunny Train Ride

Easter train was Terrific!

“I was a guest along with my 3 yr old granddaughter for the first time on Saturday on the first train & we had a great time. By all my observations all the folks around me were very pleased as well.”

“You folks put on a first class program and the hard preparation work shows in the results. If there were going to be any hiccups it would have been the first train first day and none was apparent to the passengers.”

“Thanks again for a terrific experience & all your dedicated efforts.” Curt S

Thank u!

“We rode the train today with our 2 year old and it was absolutely adorable! He had such an amazing time. The ride was very organized and well done. We will surely be back next year!” Barbara S

A great fun afternoon for all!

“We took our 5 year old on the bunny train this year with two other families and had a great time! The kids loved riding on the train which was decorated and festive and they especially enjoyed the visits and hugs from Dora, Elmo and The Easter Bunny! Great photo opps! The staff was very friendly and accommodating.” Linda C. Tenafly, NJ
