york-durham heritage railway印象

My kids were very excited about this trip. The experience itself was fun - it was cool to ride on a 50s era train. Two clowns came by first and made balloon animals for the kids. Right afterwards Santa came by the seats to sit down with each table separately. I thought the Santa was great! Very kind and engaging - he had a really good manner with the kids! Later on a magician came by as well as a guy with a guitar singing Christmas songs.I was a little disappointed that there were no beverages or snacks for the kids (bring your own!). Overall, a enjoyable trip for little kids.

Our family rode the Santa Train on Saturday December 6th. This was a 4 generation family outing, which was enjoyed by the old and young. The day is a chance for kids to ride on an older railway car and meet Santa. Every child I seen was having an amazing time, laughing and singing christmas songs along with the guitar player. A clown made balloon figures for every childs wish. A magician also had many tricks up his sleeve for the young minds!The train was decorated with Christmas decorations. For the grumpy at heart, remember, this day is for you children. Its an excellent experience for the children, so sing along with them and make their trip a happy time. We are definitely going to take this trip again, perhaps for the Halloween experience!!Patricia

Thank you for visiting the York Durham Heritage Railway. We aim to be a great enjoyable day for the whole family. As you mentioned, we offer a great view, refreshments available on-board, and a relaxing ride through one of the best green spaces in the Greater Toronto Area. We hope that you will return to ride with us again.

View of branches hitting the windows, nothing to see in the town. This trip is a waste of money and time. BORING

My family travelled on the Santa train this past weekend and had a fantastic day. I don't know why anyone would criticize the decorations as they were plentiful and cheerful. There was great entertainment & the kids had a great time and were given a goodie bag when we got off the train. I didn't see anything about hot chocolate on their website as previously mentioned and we have taken this Santa train for a few years now and will come back again for sure!

Took our two young kids on the Santa train ride this morning. It was an interesting experience. Our seats were in a car outfitted with dining chairs and tables. The chairs were open back and within 5 minutes of sitting down, my two year old slipped through the back of the chair and fell on the floor! Luckily he was okay after some hugs. The train was decorated with dollar store Christmas decorations - the kids loved it. There were two guys with guitars singing Christmas carols to keep the kids entertained until Santa arrived. Santa as good - quite realistic and took the time to chat with each family at their table. He was followed by a clown making balloon animals for the kids. Then.... perhaps halfway to the turnaround point, we suddenly stopped. WE HAD HIT VEHICLE at an unmarked crossing!!!! (The tracks crossed over someone's long rural driveway). How anyone could not see this train approaching without enough time to get out of the way is beyond me. It travels soooo slowly. The staff were quick to announce that there had been an incident and tried their best to keep us updated on the situation. No one on the train or in the car was injured. The kids enjoyed the arrival of the police car. Eventually, we were underway. All the kids were getting squirrelly and hungry (never saw any snack bar?) at this point as we headed back to Uxbridge instead of continuing on. We didn't do the full round trip- which was fine because we were all ready to get off the train by then anyway. Staff handled the situation well. Wouldn't do this one again.

Great excursion at a relaxed pace in an old railway coach. Nice scenery, great fun for the kids. The staff were friendly and helpful - all volunteers.

Hi. Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent trip on the York-Durham Heritage Railway. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your day with us. The YDHR is definitely one of the best places in the Greater Toronto Area to see the fall colours, all from a comfortable seat on board the train. We hope that you will come back and ride with us again!

Whilst on a tour of the provinces of Ontario and Quebec we wanted to explore some of Canada's railway heritage. Railways having played such a part in the recent history of the nation.The York-Durham railway gave us a relaxed (perhaps almost too relaxed?) intoduction to Canada's railway heritage. The pace of the journey is very leisurely and nothing is rushed by the volunteers.We enjoyed the "fall colours" as we ambled through the gentle countryside in this part of Ontario. For the enthuiast there is not the opportunity as one would get in Europe to lean out the window and feel the wind in ones hair and get photos of the train in action. For photos it maybe better to obtain a good road map of the area and "chase the train".The station area at Uxbridge is delightful with a small but interesting museum.A pleasant way to relax on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Thank you for your review of our train ride. We operate the train from June to December with only a short break in November to prepare for Santa's visit on board. Our Fall Colours trips in September offer a great view of the changing colours of the Oak Ridges Moraine from the comfort of your seat. We have recently cleared back a significant amount of brush from the route to allow even more scenery to be visible. Come back and ride with us again soon!
