"Great place to take the kids, and it's also something different to do around fort worth."
"Have to start by saying the ride itself was VERY enjoyable. The issue/question I have is why aren't the tickets sold by the hour for select time slots since train takes an hour to circle back around. To ensure everyone has an enjoyable hour ride, please sell the tickets by the hour, especially since the train only holds 50 people. Clear signage for where the line begins with how long the wait time is for thw next train. If the sale of tickets do not change, I suggest getting there very early in the day to ensure you have a full hour to enjoy the ride. If you end up on the five o'clock train, you only get to ride 30 minutes."
"such a nice little train ride! about 45 min and a little snack place in middle. 10 dollars for adults and 8 dollars for kids. u get to see all of trinity park and dream park playground. i would definatly do this again."
"Over priced for half a ride we took our family 70 dollars. I'm feel very cheated and my grandkids didn't get the whole ride . The train used to go all the way down to the duck pond if it's short because of all the construction they're doing away on there then that's acceptable But I feel like they should notify people I feel like they should cut the price in half since you're not getting the full ride . If the ride has been shortened then they should put signs out letting you know that I'm very unhappy about it and I feel like I should get half my money back. And the people that worked there were not friendly at all I know their job is stressful with so many people but if you're gonna be in that business to bring happiness to children and families then they should try a little harder And the people that worked there were not friendly at all I know their job is stressful with so many people but if you're gonna be in that business to bring happiness to children and families then they should try a little harder"
"I have always loved this train ride before going into the zoo, but haven't gone in a few years. I read reviews before we went and had low expectations. I also took out cash because of reviews, but that was unnecessary. There is a self-service kiosk that does take cash, but it also takes cards. You are issued a ride card, kind of like the preloaded cards you get at entertainment centers. Also, while there are not painted or railed areas to mark boarding, there was a line and most people were respectful of the line order. Those that weren't had enough of us and the workers telling them where the line was, they gave up. There are still two trains but one broke down while we were waiting, causing a longer delay for us to ride, but we stuck it out (about an hour wait). We were excited when it was our turn and my grandson's were having a good time until we reached the furthest turn around by the basketball hoops in Trinity Park where the train came to a slow halt. The driver was kind enough to back up until everyone was in the shade, and luckily it wasn't as hot with a slight breeze. A couple other train employees showed up with tools and they got the train working again after what seemed like 45ish minutes. It's nice that the concession stand is open again and they had water and drinks available. Overall the staff were nice, maybe not the most friendly, but they were kind. It would have been nice to have the ride credited back for future use, but it won't prevent us from going again."
