Best place to Adopt a Lobster! Great Views of Nebraska just dont let the Ice cream truck fall into your armadillo. You can Sit back and Relax and listen to the Canadians Ramble on about the Day when the Fish used to walk the Planet in search of Cheese. And if that isnt your taste you can Shop in the library and Buy yourself something in the shape of a Egg. Lovely atmosphere It reminds Me of old Blockbuster stores from New Zealand. All in All Great Place to Ride A Turkey.

Visited Iron Mountain via a bus trip with Mom. It was The Chocolate Express not quite what I was expecting but was entertaining. You board at the station and while traveling out of town you are served all kinds of chocolate goodies. The ladies serving were mostly friendly a couple of them must have got out of bed on the wrong side. On the way back to town the train is robbed by the James Gang. The gentleman playing the part of the robbers were all friendly as well as being amusing. All in all in my opinion worth the money spent. Just remember all these folks are volunteers

We love riding the Iron Mountain train. We ride every year on the Santa Express. The Grandchildren love it. Conductor Mike, Mr. Elfins and all the gang make it a rip roaring good time. Looking forward to another trip come Christmas time this year. Dont miss it.

Great experience for families! From the games played with the kids and the Jesse James gang robbery to the train activities and the ride itself, this was worth every penny. A big thanks to all the volunteers who make this experience possible!

Lol of family fun! For a little piece of old time fun this is a great little excursion in a genuine steam train. We had a wizard of Oz theme and they were really cute characters. Plus Jesse James and his gang boarded the train and robbed us of our money (provided by the train before hand) and had a shoot out with the sheriff. Great volunteers run this.

Always interesting. At least try once. Also farmers market is allowed to be there and it was awesome. Love to support our local farmers. The St. Marys farmers had the best spaghetti squash and green beans! Love our farmers. Gods blessings to them.

Went there for the farmers market. I was really shocked that there were just a couple of venders and no real selection and the veggies were on the very high side. I have always gardened and was shocked thatsomeone would charge $2 for a small bunch of radishes and $2 for a couple of greenonions. When I have attended other farmers markets I have paid at the most .75 to $1. I might have to take my veggies from my garden and show them what prices they should really charge we want more people to eat healthier but with those prices who can afford to?

Great place, and theyve done a great job of making it more presentable and nice over the last few years. It used to be pretty unmaintained and dumpy.. Theyve turned things around quite a bit. Check em out!

The Santa Train/Polar Express thing we did was nice, but very, very kitschy and the train cars have seen better days. Staff were very friendly and warm, but it was a bit out of our way to make this an annual trip.
