Fantastic tour. Great for the whole family. Love the history!
We enjoyed the morning tour to Pangman to the Farmer's Market. The staff on the train are warm and fun! We enjoyed a 45 minute comfortable ride each way and were pleased with the amenities onboard. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy a relaxing train ride in the Prairies.
Fantastic experience.
A few years back I did a similar train excursion in Stettler, Alberta, and was shocked to come across something similar to that in Saskatchewan. This is a much better value for $50/person, that gets you the train ride AND the museum grounds admission.
Plan a minimum 3 hours for the museum, and also take advantage of the golf cart they offer for those who can’t handle the tons of walking. We did the museum first, then the train ride at 1:30pm.
We got to the train early (around 1:00) and were one of the first to board. Go to the outdoor seating, the breeze and views is fantastic. The tour guides were great, super informative. They also served alcohol, I’m pretty sure that was cash only.
We had supper at the hotel restaurant on the corner of Main Street, it was great. The pizzeria sounded good too, we will have to try that out next time.
Worth the drive, affordable weekend activity. Would definitely come back.
What fun! My kids and I took this tour and it was so interesting experiencing what it would have been like to travel this way 80 years ago. I plan to go again!
2 hours of such a great experience! The train is fantastic. Great service and lovely views. 5 stars!
