This is a great place for family fun. We did the Polar Express. Bryson City is a cool little mountain town. They have some great eats and good micro brewery's. The train museum is really cool and the staff there are extremely helpful and nice. They even have a scavenger hunt for the kids.
We visited the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad and rode the Polar Express on Christmas Eve. We had an incredible time singing Christmas carols, eating chocolate chip cookies and drinking "Hot, hot, hot...Hot Chocolate!" The Polar Express book was read while we rode to the North Pole, and Santa came on board and gifted us with an "I Believe" silver bell. The town of Bryson City was very nice to walk through and explore. Friendly people everywhere!
We were there for the polar express ride and absolutely loved it. It was our anniversary and wanted to do something special and different. The whole experience was wonderful from the staff to the light display at the north pole. Santa coming on the train and giving out the bells was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend it, it's something for the young and old.
Great for couples and even better for families. The "Polar express" experience is the greatest. The train is fully decked out to match the movie version and the live action skits are wonderful. Fans of the movie will really love it. There is also a "Thomas the train" run during the year and other special events for everyone. It is my opinion that you should not miss the "Great Smoky Mountain Railroad" when you visit western NC. The only negative about this place is very little parking is available. However, if you have to park and walk a little ways its still worth the extra effort.
Just got off the Polar Express ride.... This is a must. We did the first class ride and it was and is worth every penny. Yes it is a little pricey. But you will have the time of your life if you have little ones. All of the staff are over the top friendly. The young lady that danced and sang was great. She was able to get my daughter to get up and dance and that is no easy task. The train was very clean and well maintained. It brought back a lot of memories from when I was a small child riding a train from Florida to Nebraska. The whole ride was done right. We will be returning for many more trips.
