点评:The directions on the website were poor — the coordinates led us to the wrong depot (the train shed, not Snoqualmie Station). We weren’t the only ones scrambling to get there on time.
The main reason we booked was for the steam train, which is heavily advertised on the website — but it wasn’t running, to the huge disappointment of our group of 12. For $252, we expected a better experience. There were no token tickets as keepsakes (something simple but memorable), and the overall ride felt lackluster from start to finish.
Onboard, visibility was poor. From the left side, we couldn’t see much and had to lean into other groups just to catch the single view of the valley. Despite being advertised, you cannot see Snoqualmie Falls from the train — trees completely block the view. It’s misleading to suggest otherwise.
There were also practical issues:
No food allowed on the train.
No restrooms on board.
The 25-minute stop at the train shed was rushed — not enough time to grab a snack from our bags, use the restroom, and explore the museum.
No narration or commentary was offered, which made the ride feel even more flat and disconnected from the rich history of the railway.
In the end, we paid a premium price for what amounted to sitting on a train staring at overgrown vegetation. Honestly, you’ll have a better time (for free) just visiting the museum and Snoqualmie Falls on your own. This ride is overpriced, underwhelming, and falsely advertised.
Verdict: Save your money.
翻译:网站上的路线指引很差——坐标把我们带到了错误的车站(火车棚,而不是斯诺夸米车站)。我们并非唯一一个为了准时到达而手忙脚乱的人。
我们预订的主要原因是蒸汽火车,网站上大力宣传了它——但它并没有运行,这让我们12人的团队大失所望。252美元的票价,我们期待着更好的体验。没有提供纪念品(虽然简单但令人难忘),而且整个旅程从始至终都感觉乏善可陈。
车上的能见度很差。从左侧看,我们几乎什么也看不到,不得不挤到其他队伍中间才能看到山谷的一角。尽管广告上说能看到斯诺夸米瀑布,但从火车上根本看不到——树木完全挡住了视线。这种说法是误导性的。
还有一些实际问题:
火车上禁止饮食。
车上没有卫生间。
在火车棚的25分钟停留时间太仓促了——根本没时间从包里拿出零食、去洗手间、参观博物馆。
没有解说或评论,这让旅程感觉更加平淡,与铁路丰富的历史脱节。
最后,我们花了高价,结果却只能坐在火车上盯着杂草丛生的景象。说实话,如果免费的话,自己去参观博物馆和斯诺夸米瀑布会更开心。这趟旅程价格过高,体验平平,而且宣传虚假。
结论:省钱吧。
