This is a great trip for retirees or couples who wants to spend time with each other. Not recommendable for other demographics else. Not even kids. There is no wildlife in the park due to noise pollution of the train. What do the kids learn or experience?The journey there has some good views that passes by quick. They provide necessary heads up if you want to take pictures. Most of the view is on right side of the train on the way there and left on the way back but the train doesn't U-turn so whoever seats on the right side on the way there gets the view both times. You won't be able to switch seats to right side on return trip unless someone willingly gives up their seats like we did. The park itself is average at best. There are three attractions in the park and you have 90mins to run between them. Really! Rush it you won't have time because there will be people in the stairs and pathway ahead of you and you have you've to wait to get decent picture without people in it.The lunch meal box is $17. You have $10 voucher from the train ticket. Just get the sandwich for $6 or bring your own food. General tips, check the weather at the park not only at Sault Ste Marie town. Bring your own food.
The experience was amazing. Staff was friendly, ride was smooth, and scenery was breathtaking. We brought our three young kids, and they all had a blast. Wish we had a bit more time during the stop at the park (Atleast 2 hours) but overall we had a great time. Food is a bit expensive, but nice to have healthy options. Would recommend some sort of family rate or season pass discounts for larger families or people that would go often.
An experience to remember. I worked on the tour train for several years and the 1 question that had been asked regularly was "Don't you ever get tired of seeing the same thing everyday?" My usual reply "I never get tired of riding the tour train... there is always something new to see. One doesn't have to look to hard to spot something either... Every trip I notice something I hadn't seen before." I still enjoy going for a ride on the tour train. I'm looking forward to my next trip as I'm planning to bring the grand kids for their first tour train experience. It is definitely a great experience.
Loved the destination. The lookout and the 3 waterfalls are well worth the visit. Now, it is a long train ride, so if you have young children, it would be good to bring distraction activities. Once at Agawa Canyon, the time is short - about 1.5 hours - so you are really rushed to walk the trails and to visit those 4 sites. The cafeteria on the train is a bit basic, although the staff were very friendly. Agawa Park is quite nice. Braidal Veil Falls is a gem. Watch for rate increase once fall arrives. Well worth the visit. Visited Sept 14/18.
Overall tour was good. Most of the good scenery is on the East side of the train. Hike in the canyon was wonderful. If you plan accordingly and are in decent athletic shape you can make to the lookout and to both waterfalls in your 90 minute allotment. I suggest bring all your own food and non alcoholic beverages as the wait was long and the food left much to be desired. Long ride for children. Bring other things for them to do.
