    Whilst the train crew were engaging and the views of Cherry Tree Hill impressive, you can save yourselves a lot of money by simply driving to the same vantage point by going straight on up past the entrance. We were told it was a 40 minute train journey so thought the cost would be worth it, however, it was less than 10 minutes each way with nothing really to see until you reach the hill. Whilst you had the chance to pull the whistle on the train, which was fun for the kids, it felt incredibly expensive for what you get and personally for us not worth the cost.

    We traveled to Barbados just to ride this train and it was everything my son hoped for. It’s not too long a ride (they are currently expanding the track for a longer ride in the near future) and the scenery was beautiful. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. My son got to pull the whistle which made him so happy. Everything was clean and well maintained on the grounds. Gift shop was fun, we bought a lot of souvenirs. Cafe was not the best selection, we had lunch elsewhere. We’ll be back when the new layout is complete!

    The tour was nice, love the stories alone the ride. My favorite part was the rum tasting at the end. Wished we had more time at CherryHill fell just a little rushed.

    As the heavy train struggled to ascend the steep grade, we patiently awaited the arrival of the rescue engine, which was dispatched to lend its power and expertise to assist us in overcoming this challenging section of the journey. The anticipation built as we listened for the distant sound of the approaching locomotive, knowing that soon we would have the extra strength needed to tackle the incline. Meanwhile, once we had successfully navigated the obstacles of the journey, we took the opportunity to turn the locomotive on the turntable, a fascinating process that showcased the intricate mechanics of railway operations. It was an impressive sight to see the massive engine pivot gracefully, preparing for its next leg of the journey. Afterward, we embarked on a delightful tour of the nearby distillery, where the rich aromas of aging spirits filled the air. We learned about the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into the distillation process, from the selection of the finest ingredients to the aging in oak barrels. The experience was both educational and enjoyable, offering us a deeper appreciation for the art of distilling and the unique flavors that can be produced. Overall, it was a day filled with memorable moments, both on the rails and off.
