It was like the 'calm before the storm' when walking by the train and museum. The tourists will soon be arriving in droves and taking the train from Thames St to East Promenade and back. It's one of…Full review by NHjo

Hi, This will be our first time in Portland. Would you recommend the train ride for couples without kids? I was hoping to do a wine/beer tasting on board, but those events aren't offered during our trip dates. I don't mean to offend anyone, but we do not want a hokey kid-centric experience. We'd like to see and learn about the bay, but in a more adult atmosphere. If the train isn't it, than that's fine, we'd rather know ahead of time. Thanks for your honesty, friends!

Hello Teresa, This is a quirky train ride with no wine or beer tasting. The round trip is about forty minutes - starts at the museum, goes to where the tracks disappear into the bay then returns. It is just a different way to see the bay. We are an elderly couple, traveling with our granddaughter and we all enjoyed the experience. The museum is really worth a visit and included in the ticket.
