Great place to spend your day with historic Texas town. We took to and fro train ride to Fort Worth stockyard. Full mirror view from train was we never saw before. Staff is very helpful and answer all your questions. Get your boarding pass from station office. It’s required for boarding train. Great place for kids. Parking is free just in front of station. Try to arrive bit early to park without hassle. You can spend sometime in art gallery just opposite to station. Public restroom are available and clean. I would recommend this place to my friends and family.

Nice adventure for family on train.Interesting museum and other material in train station.Tahwahkarro Creek 1 hour ride is hardly worth the effort or cost. No vista or views along track, just trees alongside and some industrial warehouses.Small onboard train robbery enactment for kids

Worst experience ever!!! Perhaps the route needs to be planned better, having to stop so many times to let other trains go by?!?!!…. As adults we understand but little kids don’t quite understand and the heat doesn’t help either…. We had to Uber back to Grapevine 🤬🤬

Really enjoyed the whole Grapevine, TX area. Saw the train Station which is being renovated...stopped at the Blacksmith shop and received a lesson in the art of being a blacksmith. Grapevine has a lovely downtown area, which includes restaurants, a vintage jewelry shop, dozens of clothing stores, and novelty shops. Not to mention Grapevine Olive Oil shop, sweets shops and many more not mentioned. A definite must see for tourists and locals alike.

We go every year to Day out with Thomas, it has improved a lot and made it easier to access. Its a wonderful place, blacksmith showing the process of making tools, riding the train, the old area to buy tickets, it is a great place to visit.

Too many stops along the way, although its understandable due to freight train traffic. The staff was friendly as well. I enjoyed the scenery and the entertainment.

Have some layover time at DFW airport? Board Trinity Metro Texrail train at Terminal B to Grapevine Downtown for some fun experiences.

Fun open train adventure for the whole family.

Fun, nostalgic, and just awesome! Take a ride on the Train to anywhere. .irs awesome! We went on the Fall Train to the stockyards! Didnt know what to expect being new to area. It was a Fabulous surprise!! We woll definetly ride again!

Love, Love, Love the trains in Grapevine. Take your kids, parents, and grandparents! Ride the train to the Ft. Worth Stockyards. Look for special events too.

The polar express was great for the kids they loved it the Santa Claus was very good the little town was great I will be back next year

Old school train and the workers are super nice.

So fun!! Took the train to the Fort Worth stockyards. Staff was amazing!

We did the ride from grapevine to the ft worth stock yards. It was a pretty good trip.We took our two young boys (4 and 2). They were entertained enough on the trip as they had some mild entertainment (sheriff, etc.).At the stock yards, I did feel like theyre was adequate time for exploring. With our kids we did a giant maze, petting zoo, got some ice cream, etc. Also watched the longhorn stampede. Not sure if there was enough time to do one of the tours, but would have been cool.I would opt for the air conditioned cabin. Especially during the summer.Also, in grapevine theyre was some stuff around the depot to look at. So Id recommend getting there a tad early.

Nice slow scenic route to fort worth stockyards from downtown grapevine. A must do on a lazy afternoon!

Great old diesel engine and carriages kept in great condition and comfort. A very slow journey in parts due to multiple points changing by station hands from train. Plus we went across a lot of level crossing which enriched the scenery viewing. Very good value as a long way by road and ended right inside Stockyard.

Fun and worth $25 put train moves slow and scene outside train Windows was of trash in trees! They need to cover the windows.

A place, which is known for crazy Christmas celebration 🎅🎄🎊🎉🎶

We went for a Day Out With Thomas and it was great. My son, who loves trains wants to come back on a regular day and explore.

Road the fun ride for an hour. It is the perfect length for a toddler. We played a game halfway through. Lots of fun. Great memories. The train has been taken care of.

Ol Time Feel

Great fun for the kids and lots of activities#!!!

My 3 year old and I went to Day out with Thomas. All the people working the event really went out of their way to make sure all the kids had fun. My son did not get to see Thomas up close, or really at all. He did enjoy being in Thomas World.

We have been on a few train rides, and they are alright. We did the Day out with Thomas last year and The Polar Express this year.While our other rides were okay, I have to say that we did not totally love The Polar Express. We waited forever to get on, were told we might not be able to sit together (luckily we were), and only got a few sips of chocolate milk in cups.Honestly, would probably skip train ride(s) in the future because the outside activities are always much more enjoyable (for us at least).But the workers are always very friendly, and they do a good job interacting with the kids, and that is pretty great.

Went to Day out with Thomas event and it was Great! Highly recommend it to Thomas fans!

Had a great time with family, grandkids had a blast, train car was well decorated for Christmas. All elves working that day were great, friendly and eager to be kind to the children. Parking is a challenge, paid $10 to park right across the street, that worked out good. Train ride scenery not much to speak of. Enjoy the ride and those you are with in the spirit of the season and all will be well. Merry Christmas!

Great service and the kids loved it. I definitely want to do the 5 hour stockyards ride now.

Best experience! After living in Dallas almost my whole life, I didnt know Dallas had something amazing like this. Really nice people, good entertainment. Over all worth the money and time. Kids also enjoyed alot.

We went to the Day out with Thomas and it was great for the kids. Cant wait for next year.

Kids had a blast. Even as an adult it was fun. Getting to walk around the Stockyards and see the longhorn drive was great for the kids.

Awesome history

Day Out with Thomas was amazing!

North pole Express was amazing. This will be a yearly tradition until my child stop believing.

Disappointed in the whole experience. Not worth the hour trip. Bottle water $2. Cant bring drinks or snacks on board but the snack pricing is outrageous. Sub par photo is $12 a piece. Went for the trick or treating train and my kids got 2 pieces of candy. Thats just silly for the price we paid.

Grapevines wonderful historic railroad. Take the weekend trip to the stockyards in Fort Worth.

Super fun for the entire family!! Everyone was great!

Love Day Out with Thomas!

Railroad heritage..presented very nicely

Wonderful decorations for Christmas

Cool experience. If you have little ones, or are prone to get bored, you will want to bring along something to entertain them, such as cards, or a book. The train goes very slow, but it is a cool experience. Snacks e available. I think we were all a little disappointed that it wasnt a very scenic trip, but again, very authentic experience.

Great experience doing the polar Express with our 3 yr old and 2 yr old. Its not scenic at all (industrial estate) but the staff make it so much fun. Would I do it again in Grapevone? (no), but its worth a trip the once to experience it.

We have gone on the Christmas wine train two years in a row now and will be going again (maybe trying a summer train this time). Defiantly recommend it! The wine is good, the service is great, and the atmosphere is amazing. The Christmas train has food as well and they decorate, Santa visits too. Anyone who likes wine or trains(or both) should try it. It isnt even overly expensive.

Nice train and awesome staff. Very friendly and make sure you have a good time. Only problem is that the train has no priority on the tracks - so you cant predict how long the journey will take. Our trip today - reached within 2 miles of Fort Worth, waited in the same spot for 2 hours, and then headed back. In all fairness, it was not their fault and they were nice enough to refund - no questions asked. But something to keep in mind. In any case, you can chill out on the train 😁😁😁.

Great as always! Good food. Good prices. Good people. We eat here every time were in Grapevine, TX! They even made a dish special just for me this trip due to new dietary restrictions!!! Cant ask for a better place!

Really cute town.

We went from grapevine to the Ft. Worth stock yards in style. We were on the air conditioned first class car. I was surprised it stayed as cool as it did, I figured air conditioned would be two degrees above the ambient temperature outside but it was really nice...because we did go outside to get some hot dogs and popcorn and then back to the comfy seats.Sheriff Joshua was great, our little boy got a badge for keeping the bad guys away from the train, and we got a nice photo as a souvenir. Good times were had by all.

I took my family here for the North pole express adventure. We had a good time on the train and sang carols and the kids received believe bells on the trip. They meet Mrs. Claus and took pictures with her. After the train ride they walked through an area that looked like it was snowing (soap bubbles) to get to the entrance of Santas workshop where there was more singing and a little show. After the show we went to see the reindeer and went to take pictures with Santa and do some shopping.

This ride is very enjoyable! The staff is nice, and they have pretty unique stuff in the depot. But if you ride it, you might be a bit delayed because of freight trains. Still, I love this train

It was an interesting experience. However this excursion train is low on the totem pole and has to wait for any other kind of train to pass. An hour and half may not seem long, but it is when you are stopped for the third time, sitting on hard wooden seats with no idea when it might be your turn to go again. Im sure if you were on a theme ride (polar express or western train heist) that would help pass the time. Otherwise if you have young ones, be prepared with something to keep them entertained. And there definitely was not enough time to see much in the stockyards or even really to eat at a restaurant.

Fun train ride to the Fort Worth Stockyard, great for kids and adults who just want to do something different. Dont be on a schedule you have to stick to, the train can have unexpected delays upon return and you may spend longer than expected on board. Inexpensive snacks and drinks for sale on board also. Unless you like heat, during the summer, purchase advanced tickets for the air conditioned coach, they sell out fast. Train robbery was cool too.

Friendly crew, process for getting everyone on/off the train was painless. There was a gentleman dressed and playing the part of a sheriff that came through. First class seating recommend if you want to beat the Texas heat as its air conditioned.

We enjoyed the trip on the train. It was something different to do but once you get to Fort Worth you have very little time to do anything. We were a group of 19 and were barely able to eat before we had to get back on the train. I recommend eating before or after the entire trip or having a hot dog on the train of you want to shop at all.

Fun for my son and they got a free model train exhibit to check out. Train itself is comfortable and cost is reasonable. Ten dollars general admission and twelve for first class.

We took the train from Grapevine to the stockyards on a Sunday afternoon. We chose the heated/air conditioned car which had nice padded seats. They had snacks/drinks for sale during the ride. 6 year old daughter had a fun time on the train ride. Stop in Ft. Worth was just over an hour due to delays, wish it had been a bit longer. Overall it was a fun time for anyone who enjoys trains.

This was my first train ride ever I had a wonderful time I enjoyed riding down to Fort Worth we had to stop and wait for other trains to come through that was the only thing that I did not like but other than that I had a wonderful time I love down Town Fort Worth I shopped had lunch and got back on the train I gave up my first class seat and set outside because it was a little too cold for me Im take my head off to the black lady that was keeping everything in control she has a wonderful voice over the intercom thanks so much for keeping all of us so informed of what was going on on the train.

We took the kids on the Vintage Railroad ride during the summer and it was a nice experience, except it was very hot. We were not sure which type of seats to get, so we ended up sitting in the open section instead of inside. It was hot and next time we will spend the extra few dollars to sit inside the air conditioned section. Otherwise, we had a good time and we would do this again. Kids loved it and we did as well and were able to do something together as a family. Enjoy!

My kids and I absolutely loved this railroad trip. If youve never been on a train before much less a historically significant trains than this is the one to go on. The staff is very friendly with affordable food and snacks along the way and yes the cars are air conditioned. They take you on a route all the way to the Stockyards which is something else to see if youve never seen Longhorn cattle before. Go ahead and set aside and afternoon and make this trip you wont be sorry its definitely worth it and we will probably be doing it again next time were on that end of the state

We rose the train from grapevine to Fort Worth stockyard the view wasnt all that and the ride was an hour long but the stockyard was pretty fun we stayed there for 1 hr 45 min and rode back. The staff was very friendly, they offer drinks and snacks, they also asked how our trip to the stockyard was. Very happy with this little trip will come back again.

Authentic vintage Railroad. Well worth a visit!

Day out with Thomas was so exciting for my 3 year old train lover. It was shorter and simpler than expected for the price, but it was a great test run to see if he liked riding a train as much as watching the show. Now we will take more adventures for longer and more authentic steamies!

Great model train setup

This place is one of the best places to go if you want to see some really cool old engines and have a good time. When I went there, the steam engine was under repairs, but its fixed by now, so stop on by if you want to see these examples of Texas history.

Loved riding the Easter train. A beautiful view of the suburb city. The train also has a small concession stand that serves popcorn, sodas, waters and juice. Reasonable prices, too! The train staff were courteous and the railcars were authentic-looking and nice to sit in for the ride.

Staff was very nice, ride not so much went first class with family from Florida, on route saw houses, dumpsters, junk yards, and roads. Temperature in car was to hot turned ac down to freezing cold. Sat on tracks many times waiting for Txrail trains to go by.

Great for a vintage photo shoot!

Such a fun adventure. Went on a whim and will go back again. Nice gentle ride. The conductor gave us riddles and puzzles which made our journey very enjoyable.

Took two grandsons on the trip. While the trip was interesting, it was definitely a novelty. The actual trip was pretty boring...ever seen the back of an armour meat packing plant? The destination was better than the trip but the whole thing was pretty touristy. I would not want to do it again for sure. Nice look at some longhorns at the stockyards in FW.

We went in the morning and on the route nothing interesting just trash, grass and buildings...

This was our first time doing the Christmas Polar Express event. It was a good time and although there were a lot of people the wait never seemed too long. Well coordinated and timed.

My husband and I did this when we were in Texas to visit family. We all had a great time on the train ride and at the stockyard.

I enjoyed the trip, but through no fault of the railroad it was a long trip back from Ft. Worth. Ill do it aging it was still fun.

What a wonderful experience!!!!! Everyone was so friendly Mrs Clause the Elfs the pictures the show everything about it was great. Its pretend of course but it was such a comfortable ride & we all sang Christmas songs on the train

Polar Express was disappointing. Our 7 year old loved it, but there was nothing to look at but trash and trees... Nothing scenic and the ride was short. Wouldnt recommend it. Workers were super friendly and pleasant though.

A lot of fun. Relaxing. First class car was air conditioned. Comfortable ride. Took a while, but Ive sat in traffic longer.

Excellent .. Kids will definitely enjoy this. This a treat for all age group. Its a 30 min ride during Thomas event.. Kids as well as our age group will love it. Clean and friendly staff. Music for childrens. Also activity for kids which will keep them engage. Worth a visit on this vintage rail... go enjoy guys........ 😊😊

We brought our daughter during the Christmas season where they turn this into the Polar Express. If you have little ones, this is a great Christmas experience for them and it will heighten their belief in Santa and the North Pole. Just make sure to get your tickets for it early as they do sell out when they are open. There are also picture of Santa afterwards which is a nice end to a great experience. I will recommend my family and friends to visit.

This was such a great ride we went from Grapevine down to the Stockyards and we got to walk around the Stockyards and eat there too and then we got to ride back its very nice to do this

Nice cars and friendly staff. Unfetunayely the scenery is less than impressive. No views whatsoever. But fun for kids getting to see a train and ride on one.

It was a horrible experience. We have been stranded and stucked for almost five hours in a cold train. No food no warm drinks...no sorry ..only a refund of the Ticket.It should have been a nice anniversery trip which ended up in a nightmare!

Great afternoon trip on a cool train. Fun for all ages. Would definitely ride again even though the seating is a little cramped.

I gave it five stars because of miss iona. She was amazing and was so sweet to my 2 year old baby girl. If she gives you advice take it because it will make your trip all that much better. The ride was great. If you dont sit first class its warm in the summer in the open seating. But I still vote its worth the money and the kids LOVE it

Do not do it!!!! not worth your money and time I spend $72 for 4 tickets to be seated in a VERY POOR ventilated coach train waiting for more than and hour due to rail road traffic...and when the train finally moves the only things you will be seeing will be urban houses back yards and industrial junk yards not pretty at all...........take your car or a Uber to Stockyards, it will be much better and enjoyable...

This is a fantastic ride for visitors and for kids if they can take a long ride.

Was visiting from Tennessee, my boyfriend and I had a great day here. Great idea for families, kids, dates, etc.

The area is great to look around. Took the train to the ft worth stock yards and that place is amazing. Train ride was not good for scenery.

North pole express: Not so great or adventurous as I had hoped. The tickets for weekends got booked in August, but I felt disappointed after all the hype. My son enjoyed though. Its just a train trip to remember.

Took our grand daughter to ride the train. We had a great time. I would definitely recommend this.

Absolute blast!! If you are looking for something fun to do, I HIGHLY recommend doing this. Not only is this train over 100 years old, it has a very prestigious feel to it when you are costing along the Texas farmlands. Theres even a point where you cross over a tressel. This attraction does take about 5 hours in total. The train stops at the Stockyards and gives you about an hour to shop and/or eat. When I took this train it was my first time seeing the stockyards. Very cool experience.

Had so much fun watching my 3yr old grandson met Thomas the Train and Sir Top Hat.

The Grapevine Vintage Railroad in Grapevine, TX was everything I imagined; we met Santas reindeers under the snow. The train ride to the North Pole was magical. We had chocolate milk, a cookie, a Christmas bell and met Mrs Claus.

My family took this ride recently while in the DFW area. It was mostly for my 2-year-old son, who really likes trains like most kids his age.The train ride was a little long, but it was very enjoyable for the whole family.I would highly recommend this as a great way to see the Fort Worth Stockyards.

Took the train with the family to the stockyards and had a great time. Kids loved the train ride and the show they put on. We sat in the open cars and it was lovely.

First time visit, but definitely not the last! Entire family (my wife and I, and our 1 and 3 year old sons) thoroughly enjoyed everything from A-Z.

Awesome antique train with good customer service! A fun way to travel to Fort Worth!

Perfect!! The train ride the employees the dinner the wine -all great. Not as many colorful sights to see on the new route the train took, but otherwise, much fun like last year!

I had a blast. My family took me for my birthday. Would love to it again.

Kids had a blast and the activities were fun and entertaining! Loved the train ride, very traditional and lively!

I absolutely adore Grapevine, and my son LOVES trains. Everytime we come down town and go to the train station it is an absolute blast, and my son and self really enjoy it.

I took my 5yr old on the trick-or-treat train yesterday and had a lot of fun.The interior is decorated with kid-friendly Halloween decorations (not scary) and open seating anywhere you like in any of the rail cars. Its a non-stop 1hr ride that goes 30mins in one direction and then reverses back to the station. There is one car that is not enclosed and it was cold with all the wind, but the other cars are enclosed and heated and very comfortable. There is a lady that walks through taking a photo of your group. She offers it to you in a commemorative frame at the end of the ride for $8. There is a confession stand that sells popcorn and drinks (soft drinks, juice, and water) for $1-1.50/each. If you have cash you can purchase concession items from a lady who walks the train taking and delivering concession orders. Towards the end of the ride, another lady comes through and puts one piece of candy in all of the childrens candy buckets (everyone got ringpops on this ride). It wasnt crowded and the staff was very nice. My son really loved the experience and has asked if we can go on a train ride for Christmas. I recommend the trick-or-treat train to anyone with young kids looking for a fun, safe, and low-key Halloween event.

I had reserved tickets online after the holiday season. There were only two options, first class and regular tickets. We had decided to go with another family, so we both bought online close to each other. We thought it was open seating and we would be able to be close to each other. Nope! It was assigned seating and sitting close to each other was not an option...even after checking in. It was a disappointment for the kids. The scenery along the track is nothing to look at, so just know that. Overall, Im glad we went, but I wont be going again.
