This is a MUST-DO for anyone vistiting Essex or anyone interested in Rail Travel. Not only is it fun for the whole family, but it is great for anyone because it is so convienent, informative, and fun!
The train runs 4 times per day during the summer and the boat 3 times. I highly suggest you ride both together, because they complement each other and you can get back on the train after the booat tour. I would also highly suggest investing ($5.00 extre per person) in the Parlour Car, as the seats are much bigger, they swiver, and there is really cheap drink service!
There is no eating on the train, but you can eat on the boat and there is even a snack bar. Of course there is a sandwich place at the station, as well as a sort of outdoor museum of the various train cars. Overall it is great place to visit and is loads of fun!
