We took our kids when they were little and they loved it. A year ago we went back and took our grandsons. After all those years, it was as I remembered it. And taking our grandsons with our grown kids, brought up some wonderful memories. They loved the Bob the Builder and Barney weekend. We all enjoyed it soo much... More

They have a nicr, clean animal attraction where you can feed the animals. Price is high though since it is much smaller than six flags or other parks that.are... More

Went with my six year old daughter. She just loves this place. Had a great time riding the train and feeding the animals. The kid interactive shows were great, magic show and dancing and singing with Hopper. Great value for the dollar. Staff was very friendly. Lots of fun rides for the kids. More

The kids absolutely loved Tweetsie Railroad. It isn't very crowded, everyone is friendly, and the rides are fun. The kids can't wait to go back! I enjoy seeing them so happy and excited. Maybe not for teenagers, but great for younger kids. More
