If you have never ridden a train its worth it to say you have. The scenery in places wasn't the best but the staff was awesome and if you can just relax and listen to the stories they tell its a good experience. This Christmas season they are doing train rides featuring the story of the polar express, sounds like an awesome trip to go on if you have kids. My son loved the train and all the workers were wonderful.

My husband and our 3 boys were planning to end our little getaway weekend with a ride on this train and I am VERY disappointed to hear that it is such a bummer! Thank you! Now we can plan to do something else that isn't a waste of time and money. There is nothing worse than dealing with unfriendly people; I probably wouldn't have minded the ...

Spend 24 dollars to look at trees and brush several feet from your window. Not scenic at all.

It was horrible-no scenery and no one with a personality worked there. The employees were as bland as the train ride. There were only trees and nothing else. I was so glad we didn't waste our money on the dinner ride-that had to really be a rip-off.

The chicken dinner (golden corral) was actually delicious but as far as the train ride if i would have paid for that and no dinner i would have wanted my money back.

Just a little side note concerning the moron studying to become a lumberjack...

The space shuttle Challenger exploded, killing all 7 astronauts aboard. So, I guess the Branson Scenic Railway probably does top at least one attraction out there...idiot.

You are STUDYING to be a lumberjack? I'm studying to be a rock. I just figured you could learn the logging trade on the job. I didn't know you would have to go to beaver college.
It sounds to me like these people have legitimate complaints concerning the scenic railway. They paid a chunk of change to actually see the sights, not be enclosed by a bunch of trees...idiot.

It's a train ride- gosh darn it! Not the space shuttle Challenger. Stop
your whining you cheapos. I'm studying to be a lumberjack and it looks
like I have plenty of work to do along this rail.

My son bought the family tickets to take the train ride.
It was my sixtieth birthday. I'm glad we all got to ride
on a train, but there is NO scenery. It's blocked by
brush and over growth. Then there are just the rock
cliffs going by where they dug the path for the train.
You sit on one side and watch the rocks and trees,
then they stop ...
