Such a nice experience! Perfect for kids, not too long of a ride, just right. We brought on our 2 year old and 4 month old and it was perfect. You can bring a stroller, but must put it in the back of the train so it’s a little inconvenient, so I suggest baby wearing your babies! It’s cold so make sure to wear warm clothes. The bar was so cute, perfect for pictures. I had a much needed IPA.

Loved it! Great spot to hike as well. Stroller friendly but I recommend to take a baby carrier instead. Or a narrow stroller. Ours was wide and it was a bit of a hassle.
