All Aboard for Family Fun at Tweetsie Railroad!
As soon as we drove up to the old-timey entrance, I knew our family made the right choice for some Wild West adventure this summer by visiting Tweetsie Railroad. My kids were bouncing in the backseat with excitement as we pulled in, cowboy hats cocked and ready to explore this Wild West theme park nestled in the Carolina mountains.
We started our day with the highlight for any Tweetsie trip - riding the steam trains! The smell of coal, billowing smoke and the conductor's "all aboard!" filled us with eager anticipation. We settled into the wooden bench seats and slowly chugged out of the station past Ghost Town buildings and waving spectators. Every time we entered the pitch black tunnels my daughters squeezed my hands tightly in suspense - followed by squeals of laughter as we emerged back into sunshine.
After enjoying a singalong Wild West revue show with silly cowboys and friendly can-can dancers, we grabbed classic amusement park snacks like fresh hot popcorn and fudge before braving the thrill rides. My son challenged me to ride the Mini Mine Coaster with him which whisked us around sharp bends and down steep drops in our tiny rail car - talk about exciting!
Before our day at Tweetsie ended, we had one last stop - to meet the real riverboat captain himself, Mr. Frog! He looked so distinguished in his top hat. Getting to interact with the charming park mascots and characters created the most lasting memories that we'll treasure forever. Riding the rollercoasters as a family and experiencing this charming railroad destination made our Tweetsie trip a rootin' tootin' good time we can't wait to repeat!
