Took my 4 yr old son on a Friday in May after they had recently reopened for the season. All the service I came in contact with (buying food, ride operators,etc) were all extra nice! There are 2 trains in the park, the big Tweetsie train that you board in the front if the park and a small one up... More

I celebrated my birthday here couple of times with my kids. I just love the place how they decorated it like in the Western days. I heard this place looks great too in Halloween but we haven't tried it yet. I would keep celebrating my birthday here in the coming years :)

Took my 4 yearold granddaughter to Tweetsie for her birtday and she had a great time. There was a ton of things for her to do and she truly enjoyed it. The train ride is fun, especially if you have never done it but unfortunately has not changed much over the past 20 years but she loves trains and had... More

Tweetsie is a classic, but be warned if your kids have been to another big glitzy theme park they may be disappointed. It's a full-size steam locomotive and the park has been around for decades, so it's a definite throw-back. No worries: they have made the train robbery so stupidly comic your kid won't be scared by it like we... More

I've been going to Tweetsie since I was a kid, and we've taken our child since she was a baby. This is one attraction in the High Country that you don't want to miss. There's nothing like the smell and sound of the train, the show from the very funny entertainers, and the kids always have a blast!

We took our 2 year old last year for his birthday. He loved it so much we bought season passes since we live 30 minutes away. There are so many things to do from the train ride, country fair rides, and the deer park to so much more. There is something for everyone. I highly recommend visiting Tweetsie. Also if... More

Visited with my mother in law, 2 teens, a tween, and a four year old. After the hike to the top of the mountain, we had a great time. We rode everything and stopped for snacks twice. The ski lift to the Halloween Town was an extra special, heat stopping treat. It was a memorable place to visit.

It had been 15 years since I had been here. Not much seemed to have changed but it was still fun for the family. Our 5 year old still talks about wanting to go back. I highly recommend it if you have little ones. The petting zoo is great.

I always find friendly employees and enjoy my visit with my grandchildren. We usually go on Thomas week and my grandchildren think Thomas lives there.
