    This was on our bucket list for a few years and made last minute reservations as we were passing…read morethrough. The staff was absolutely amazing - treated us like royalty! The 3-hour ride to Petersburg was a relaxing and peaceful slow and scenic trip that just gave you a chance to unwind. Additionally, the dining experience on a dining car was such a memorable experience and highly recommended! The staff offered historical information and facts to support the various scenes we passed through. The views were amazing and, as advertised, we were able to see many eagles along the route. The way back was raining but no less enjoyable. This should be on your to-do list for sure! It brings the kid out in you for sure!

    For a unique experience just 2.5 hours away from Washington, D.C., Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad…read moreprovided my family of three with a day of fun. Boarding at Romney with a three-hour layover in Petersburg, here's our experience doing the all-day journey. 1) Tickets: Order online and pick up the tickets 30-60 minutes before boarding at the ticket counter at the train station. There's a large parking lot next door. Once you have your tickets, stand in the line marked with your letter. Or shop at the gift shop before they board. 2) Experience: Chugging along slowly, this vintage train is from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s depending on which car you're in. We did the premier dining experience with a light breakfast, snacks, and a three-course dinner. The train itself has a little snack bar that accepts cash only, a gift shop that's also cash only, and a viewing car. Each car gets an opportunity to go onto the ceiling-less car through the canyon to see bald eagles. We saw around ten of them! As you ride, a woman announces points of interest. Outside of that, enjoy the views or bring a few card games to play or a book to read. There's no WiFi on the train and outlets are very sparse. The train is old and it shows. Some cars are nicer than others. There are a few clean restrooms throughout the train. On the three-hour layover in Petersburg, we opted for the Smoke Hole Caverns. A bus picked us up and drove 15 minutes to the caverns and resort. The caverns are small, but interesting and the resort has mini golf, gem mining, and the state's largest gift shop. 3) Food: The dinner is where they shined! The salad, alfredo with chicken, and chocolate cake were good! The breakfast was okay as was the pepperoni and cheese for an afternoon snack. If you love quality coffee, fuel up BEFORE the train. They offer bottomless coffee, but it's very weak and not good. The free-flowing sweet tea and lemonade were good!

We went on a Saturday..got there around 3pm and left at 5pm. We barely ran into anyone while exploring..which was great. 2hrs was obviously not enough time. When we got there we checked in at the table..you get a wristband while on the property. Purchasing your tickets ahead of time..it makes life for the employees a lot easier. It's dark and there isn't power..so using the iPad to check out is a pain for them. They give you the rules and what not to do..where to stay out of..and they let you explore all on your own. We literally had so much fun. Make sure to bring plenty of flashlights and warm clothes if you're going during that winter season like we did. There are tunles that run from building to building..awesome! The chapel is incredible, the cell housing areas are just as cool..just so many things..the prison barber school..the cobbler shop. So many nooks and crannies. We learned theyll have overnight explorations in the spring/summer/fall in 2023. There will be a hydroponics building as well. The place is just spectacular, and the drive to keep this place open for people to come see history and not let it wither away is amazing. Thank you! Truly appreciate places like this. Please don't leave trash and break things here and ruin it for people who have an appreciation for places like this.

Their hospitality leading up to the ride was fantastic, the weather was a bit 'iffy' so we ended up pushing back to later in the afternoon. It was still a bit cold and overcast when we arrived and we ended up being the only couple to join them. Blankets were in the carriage waiting for us and we were greeted as soon as we pulled up, the ride was enjoyable and informative... we learned about the farm and a bit about the battle, both Bill and Bonnie were super friendly and it was a pleasure to meet them! After the ride was over we had the opportunity to go back to the barn and meet all the horses. We learned more about each of them and got to feed them carrots, absolutely worth the price and a ride we would definitely do again, hopefully under better weather next time!

    So here's the deal: I rode the Pumpkin Patch Express at East Broad Top Railroad, and while it was…read moreabsolutely adorable, festive, and full of fall charm... I'm docking a star for one very specific reason -- they advertised a Halloween costume contest with every train departure and then... just didn't do it. Like, poof. Gone. No announcement, no explanation, no spooky spirit. Just me in a full Halloween costume wondering what in the Great Pumpkin was going on. Let me back up. I had to cancel my original trip a few weeks before because of a family emergency. Their staff was super helpful, issued me a gift card, and made rebooking easy. Total gold stars for that. I ended up rebooking on the last day of the Pumpkin Patch Express, and even splurged for seats in the caboose (because who doesn't want to pretend they're in a vintage movie for a day?). It was $65.32 for two adults, and honestly worth it for the unique view alone. The Orbisonia Station was clean, festive, and well-run. Fall décor everywhere, the kind of stuff Pinterest dreams are made of. The train ride? Perfectly timed -- long enough to enjoy the scenery, short enough that I didn't start questioning my life choices or wishing for snacks. When we arrived at the pumpkin patch, it was like stepping into autumn heaven: games, bounce house, mini-golf, food trucks, firepits, and plenty of pumpkins. The whole setup was great -- even the port-a-johns were clean (which is the real fall miracle here, let's be honest). We hit the food trucks first (pro tip!) and scored seats in the sunshine next to a firepit. I devoured my lunch, soaked up the view, and might've gotten a little competitive playing mini-golf -- nailed the final hole in one and absolutely celebrated like I'd just won the Masters. Now... back to that nonexistent costume contest. Picture me: all decked out, fully committed, ready to strut my spooky self for glory. I walk up to the counter, big smile, ready to ask where the contest will be -- and a rather grumpy man behind the desk hits me with a "Yeah, we're not doing that anymore." No apology, no explanation, no nothing. Just crushed dreams and a ticket in hand. Sir. I have read your Facebook event posts. All. Of. Them. You promised me a costume contest. You got me excited. And you're telling me this now? On the platform? In my Halloween costume? I'll admit it -- I was bummed. Like, "eat extra candy corn later to cope" bummed. But I wore my costume proudly anyway (as did my adventure buddy and a few other brave souls), made my own fun, and still had a great time. Though I definitely whined about it the entire train ride back. My poor adventure companion earned a medal that day. So yeah, East Broad Top -- the train, the views, the pumpkin patch setup -- all awesome. But if you're going to advertise something, please follow through. Some of us plan our entire fall outfit strategy around these things, okay? Still, I can't stay too mad. I had a blast, the caboose ride was a dream, and it's a memory I'll be laughing about for a long time. Just...maybe next year, they can keep their event promises or update their marketing so folks know what to expect? Less ghosting on the costume contest and more ghost costumes, deal?

    Very family friendly, love the staff and great to see during Christmas and Halloween . Very…read morebeautiful to see always.

Their above and beyond service is absolutely deserving of a 5 star rating. My mom and I decided to ride the GAP from Pittsburgh to Cumberland, parking in Cumberland and shuttling up. From the start we were welcomed into the shop, our pedals(we brought our own) were put onto our bikes for us. The store has a comfortable atmosphere with pretty much everything you could possibly need. We rented gravel bikes and panniers, both in great condition. We were supplied with a pump, flat tire kits, and some other essentials. I definitely recommend calling the location to schedule shuttling services, the website doesn't seem to list all available times. Value was good, about 500$ a person for a 5 day bike rental with paneers + shuttle to Pittsburgh. Parking was very easy to find: just park across the street under the bridge. Now comes the best part: the shuttle. My mom and I were lucky enough to be the only ones shuttling on that trip, and we got the pleasure of riding with a man who's name I believe was Will. He was extremely knowledgeable of the trail, he knew every restaurant and BnB along the way. He was a wealth of knowledge happy to share every sneaky bathroom stop and hidden gems of the trail. He shared information with us I haven't found on any of the websites or books I looked through while planning this trip. Smooth drive in the van and my mom and I were able to get a good nap in. Just a warning for anyone riding the GAP trail right now, the first couple miles are under construction. You have to ride on the busy Pittsburgh roads, plan accordingly!
