We had a great time! Holly and the crew were very helpful and friendly! Would suggest you bring a drink in a Yeti cup - to keep it cool , plus you need a lid. There is a basket between the seats, but no cup coasters. read more

Fun and unique experience We booked several months in advance. The place is in the middle of nowhere so be prepared and bring food and drinks. You end up in a large parking lot and there is a store you check in at. They have bathrooms and some gift shop items. Plus several places to take pictures while you are waiting. You are given a brief safety demonstration and then are assigned a cart. Even though you go out as a group you are spread out and it feels like a solo experience. We were surprised by how fast the carts get going. It is very much like a train with all the noises and vibrations. Some people bought cushions to sit on. You travel along a river so it was very scenic. With beautiful fall foliage views. After traveling about 6 miles you stop for a quick break while they turn the carts around. There is seating and a river to view and have a quick snack. Then you are back on the cart for your return trip. Staff was great! read more

Really fun experience everyone can enjoy. Kid friendly. Senior friendly. Only one person actually operates the bike. The other seats have pedals, but they're just for fun. We had a handicapped person with us, and he was able to just sit and enjoy the ride. I would recommend a seat cushion. The driver/brakeman position is easy any the peddling is effortless. read more

Had a great time, was a hot day but the route was mostly shaded by trees and got a nice breeze as we rode along on the bikes! Super easy to pedal and the trip seemed just long enough and bikes went just fast enough. Wonderful to have another tourist attraction in our lovely state! read more
