There is nothing special about riding a train when you cannot see outside the windows because they are filmy/dirty from the outside. The food was food. You get a choice of three main entrees that are cooked. Perhaps our problem is we did not drink.

This train ride is a lovely evening for adults. The staff was attentive, the food was good and the show is enjoyable. I recommend this as a nice evening. The train is very clean and the food is served in a timely way. The prime rib was done just as everyone at our table asked for. The potatoes were gummy... More

We've done the Seminole Gulf Railway 'Mystery Train' three times in recent years and can't wait to go next month to enjoy "Noir Confidential"! The entire experience, from start to finish, is always lots of fun, especially for folks like us, who don't take themselves too seriously! The ride is pleasant - the train sways a little - that's what... More

We were excited about this attraction as something new and different. It was all that but not to the level of quality we would have liked. The play was funny and the actors did a good job considering that they we were performing each act 4-5 times in the different train cars. The food was okay but nothing special. Servers... More

Well it wasn't quite Murder on the Orient Express, but it sure was close. We booked this event as a club outing for the British American Social Club and took a party of 8 adults, six of whom were Brits. It was rather fortunate that the murder play was called A Hard Day's Death, and was a takeoff of the... More

Doug the Elder, Thank you for the great review. If you enjoyed "A Hard Day's Death", you will love our two new shows: "Noir Confidential" and "Devils on the Diamond". Of course if you wish to stay with a Brit theme, "By Jove, You're Dead!" opens July 5th. More

The train ride is great and the multi-course dinner was very good. The play takes place while you are traveling and eating and is a lot of fun. Should do at least once.

Thank you fo your review. I am glad your had a pleasant time, and we hope to see you again. For everyone, our murder mystery shows are typically comical in nature and not, excuse the pun, deadly serious. We want everyone to have a fun evening. All aboard! More

Just back from a fun filled evening on the SGR mystery dinner train. Dinner was good, with offerings of prime rib, chicken, or fish. The entertainment was a riot! What a great way to spend an evening. If you are looking for something different from the beach scene, this is it. Hint: not for small children. Only negative: We were... More

This is a must do if you are in the Fort Myers area. My husband loves trains and this was the bomb! Dinner was good, and the actors keep you engaged. We thoroughly enjoyed the show. Will definately do it again the next time we are in the area.
