Prairie Dog Central Railway

A truly fabulous experience that the whole family will love. I'm a train nerd so my reasons for loving the Prairie Dog will likely differ from most people. Suffice it to say that every Manitoban needs to ride at least once, and for visitors to Winnipeg it needs to be on the list of things to do if you have the time. The locomotives change so make sure that if it's your first, or only ride, that you select a steam run. The diesel is great also but the steam is the authentic experience.

This is something everyone should experience. We went with a group to partake in the Grosse Ilse Rec Centre Fall Dinner. The dinner was great and give them two thumbs up.

It was a great experience! The conductor obviously loves his job, and there were musicians performing in the cars. The stop over in Grossse Isle would have been better if we had dressed warmer. There is a shelter, but it's not heated. So dress in layers!!!

A great step into the past. The staff were very knowledgeable and able to answer our many questions. Would recommend for any age.

It was a very relaxing and enjoyable trip. The stop at Gross Isle was fun and educational with all the historical items in the buildings. The grandkids had a blast. It was a memorable time. The staff were so hospitable and knowledgeable, and very accommodating. Great family day!
