We enjoyed our trip to the Halloween events at Tweetsie Railroad. The old-fashioned fun park setting really appeals to us. The scary train ride is legitimately scary--if predictable. An animatronic headless horseman, some shopping in the Tweetsie store for logo merchandise (we always like souveniers), and a few cute rides added to our fun. The shows and the decorations aren't... more

You can't beat Tweetsie for some family fun. The train is still the best part, and the shows were very entertaining. The kids, particularly the 10 year old, have about outgrown many of the rides, so I'm not sure if we'll go back. But if you're going to be in the High Country, you must stop and see Tweetsie at... more

Took the Wife and Kids to Tweetsie 30 years after our parents took us and it was still awesome. We did everything in the park in about 5 hours and the kids had a ball!! Yes the food is a little overpriced and just average amusement park fare- but they will let you bring in coolers- so pack a lunch... more

We were there last weekend, and had a fun time. All employees were so friendly. Food average, but kids don't care about that! Train ride was fun, but sit on the right hand side, to see the cowboy show. I would recommend. more

Our family enjoyed the Tweetsie Railroad very much. Once you get passed the admission price, you see that you are getting a nice family amusement park, without the lines and crowds that they others have. No huge rollercoasters, so the teen crowd might not enjoy, but the 12 and under set will have a fun time. My 11 yo loved... more

Love - Love - Love it. So much fun. Good old fashion fun for the entire family. We have been going since my son was five and he is now eight. Getting ready to go again. My husband went when he was nine - and he is now in his 50's. I cannot say enough about it. Try it -... more

Okay, I have to admit that my 3-year-old had a good time (mostly). However, my husband and I were very uncomfortable with the Wild West theme--lots of toy weapons (and other junk) for sale, glorification of violence, and totally disrespectful and dehumanizing attitudes toward Native Americans. The main attraction--the train ride--is marred by a couple of poorly written and acted... more

Great for children. Adults very little for us. Train ride was nice. Park was very clean and had a lot of restrooms. There was nothing bad about the park, just gear to children without the big theme park hassle . more

I have been visiting Tweetsie Railroad since I was a little kid back in the 1960s. The place has grown but only within reason. It is one of America's old style theme parks where fun is guaranteed, you won't have to wait in line, and prices won't break the bank. The park is clean and well maintained and folks are... more

The train was great fun and my eight year old son can't wait to return for Halloween. The shows were good and the entertainers seemed to be actually enjoying their work unlike the people at other amusement parks. The train rides were worth the cost of admission for us. My son couldn't ride that train enough. The carnival rides were... more
