Steam train excursion |
165 Deveault Street (Near Jean Proulx) Ottawa, ON J8Z 1S7 Canada +1 819 778 7246 / +1 800 871 7246 http://www.steamtrain.ca/ |
This 64-kilometre train journey, from Hull to Wakefield, will take you back in time while you enjoy the passing beauty of the Outaouais region. The clickety-clack of the steam train, which dates from 1907, will capture your imagination; and the trip allows ample time to explore the quaint village of Wakefield, where you can shop or grab a meal at one of the fabulous restaurants. The half-day journey follows the banks of the historic Gatineau River and winds through the wilderness of Gatineau Park. Admission: CAD29 Adults; CAD26 Seniors; CAD25 Students; CAD14 Children; CAD74 Families. Review © 2007, Wcities |
