Fun afternoon ride (Deer Creek Express). Seats are assigned by the Purser, left side is best view. Purses are entertaining, professional and courteous. Highly recommend for the price point and duration of trip.
Only good if you have small children. Very slow and the first 25 minutes are driving through under construction neighborhoods. Also the wildlife they promise you will see is the animals in a small farm you pass through. One side you just see rocks the whole time and you never switch sides so you see the same view there and back . Not to mention out of the 90 minutes you are on the train at least 20 are spent waiting for the train to flip around, I wrote this whole review while waiting. The reservoir is not that attractive and can be better seen from a car. Save yourself if you don’t have small children. Don’t waste your time or money. Heed my warning please.
I rode 2 trips today: 330 trip was so beautiful and loved taking pics! 700 trip was fun with sing alongs and dance offs. That staff on both trips were great!
Love this! We did the scenic Saturday train but have been trying to find time for the Trivia Train! There is a bar cart on board and though GA is a little tight, you can go to the snack cart and hang out. Tickets sell out, definitely cannot get one day of unless you call and someone has canceled. All staff was SO nice and we showed up 8 minutes before the train left and they said they were about to call me to see if we were coming. How nice! Went to the folklore bookshop prior and the olive coffee shop after
I cannot say enough good about the Heber Creeper and staff! We were gifted a ride for a Christmas present this year, but there were complications with ages changing from not needing a ticket to needing a ticket, as well as concerns due to a lot of neurodivergence in our family. I called ahead, and they were very accommodating and reassuring. When we arrived, I was absolutely blown away by the kindness and service we received. From seating us somewhere as quiet as possible, to the sweet fiddlers who catered to our preferences and needs, to our wonderful host, Gloria. It was a night drive, so we couldn't see much, but Gloria pointed out lights to tell us where different things were. Gloria went above and beyond, engaging with our kids, sharing trivia, adjusting volume, activity and so on, based on our needs. Everyone was lovely, kind, and accommodating. The station was adorable, the train was great, and the old design was so interesting and pretty to look at. Even with our unique family needs and larger family size (7 people total,) we would definitely go back! Thank you all so much!
