点评:I took my son, his fiance and 3 grandkids (3 mos, 5 yrs and 8 yrs) to the afternoon Santa Express train ride experience this past Saturday. The older train was decorated with Christmas lights and decorations inside and out. The volunteers were very helpful, polite and friendly. There was a snack vendor outside with hot chocolate and cookies and snacks. We brought our own snacks for my grandchildren. The conductor was nicely dressed in his conductor suit.
The train itself was older with red velvet bucket seats that faced each other to allow 4 people to sit together, so we had plenty of room.
There were teenage girls dressed as elves handing out candy canes and a gentleman playing "Santa Clause is coming to town" on a lighted saxophone while an authentic looking Santa and Mrs Clause came to each child and took pictures and talked to them. Our children gave them his list.
Then the Grinch came by and another round of Christmas carols with a guitar and Frosty the snowmen.
The scenery was not idea as the area is rundown in places. But we did see some horses and some kids who lived on the route came out on their porch to wave at us.
We brought Christmas books to read.
The volunteers were wonderful!!
This was a nice inexpensive experience and my grandkids had fun and we made memories.
翻译:上周六,我带着儿子、他的未婚妻和三个孙子孙女(3个月、5岁和8岁)去体验了下午的圣诞老人特快列车之旅。这列老式列车内外都装饰着圣诞彩灯和饰品。志愿者们非常热情、礼貌又友好。外面有个小吃摊,卖热巧克力、饼干和其他零食。我们自己也给孙子孙女们带了零食。列车长穿着考究的制服。
这列老式列车里是红色天鹅绒桶形座椅,座椅面对面,可以坐四个人,所以空间很宽敞。
一些打扮成精灵的少女在分发拐杖糖,一位绅士用带灯的萨克斯风演奏着《圣诞老人进城来》,一位装扮逼真的圣诞老人和圣诞奶奶走到每个孩子面前,和他们合影、聊天。我们的孩子把愿望清单递给了他们。
之后,格林奇也来了,大家又弹着吉他,和雪人弗罗斯蒂一起唱起了圣诞颂歌。
沿途风景并不理想,因为有些地方比较破旧。不过我们看到了一些马,还有几个住在路边的小孩走到门廊上向我们挥手。
我们带了圣诞主题的绘本。
志愿者们真是太棒了!
这是一次物美价廉的体验,我的孙子孙女们玩得很开心,我们也留下了美好的回忆。
