There
is something about trains that make children stand up and take notice. I have
no idea what the draw is, but it is there. My children simply love trains! They
love Thomas the Train and they love all things Chuggington as well. We do not
discriminate in our house, we love all Trains!
This
last weekend {before everyone started to get sick} we took the boys to
Blackberry Farms in Aurora IL to check out their train show as well as some of
their new upgrades. We were not disappointed.
Blackberry
Farms has been under construction for a while now and it looks better than
ever! They have created a new expanded restroom {which was a much needed
upgrade} as well as more outdoor dining areas. They have a new adventure play
structure in the works that I am really looking forward to being able to use
with the kids.
They
boys had a blast riding on the caboose of the train that circles Blackberry
Farm. They loved checking out all of the model trains, although I did have to
mention more than once that we look with our eyes and not our hands.
The
model trains themselves were spread out throughout the park and were a lot of
fun to check out. My personal favorite was the Lego train set up. The kids and
I had a lot of fun picking out and finding different characters like Harry
Potter and Lightning McQueen and even Mickey Mouse. It was a blast!
We
always seem to have a really good time whenever we visit Blackberry Farm and
will definitely head back in September/October to check out the new play
structure once it is complete.
