It just seemed friendlier that way. We provided cupcakes and snacks before the train time, then all rode the train together. It was great!

Our friends had everyone buy their own tickets but recommended that we do this online so we would be assured a ticket if they sold out on ride day. I agree, it would be too expensive for you to purchase the tickets. Our friends provided food / cake at a picnic table on the premises after the ride. We all had a a great time and no one minded paying for the ride. Good luck and happy birthday to your son.

Can you offer any tips from the birthday party you attended? Did they use the caboose or just go as a group (we are thinking of the latter). Did they buy everyone's tickets, just the kids, or what? It could get pretty expensive!

I'm not sure if there's food in the surrounding area, you can call the NHVR or look it up on google maps. <br /><br />Hope this helps and have a great ride! <br />-MarneyMarney Whitneyhttp://www.mominchapelhill.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699155749625957745.post-87253020747398708832010-10-02T15:05:26.653-04:002010-10-02T15:05:26.653-04:00We are booked and excited to check it out.

Last year the train was stuck and we got an extra 30 mins and lots of excitement as they tried to push back up a hill.HeatherVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160848024423305349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699155749625957745.post-31464165703989506132010-09-28T08:58:20.086-04:002010-09-28T08:58:20.086-04:00thanks for this review! we've been meaning to...thanks for this review! we've been meaning to go for a few years. this will help make it happenLFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094522845005089632noreply@blogger.com
