Wheatland Express Excursion Train — Attraction in Wakaw

My husband and 3kids (ages 11, 13 & 17) went on the murder mystery excursion. My kids were not enthusiastic at the idea of it but once on board they got into it and had a great time. 1 child has anxiety so he hung back but he watched and laughed a few times and enjoyed the atmosphere as best can be expected . We particularly liked that the staff are inclusive and everyone is super friendly and they seem to enjoy themselves too. A person can get into the theme or they can hang back and enjoy the ride but either way the train is great and it’s a unique experience and the whole family wants to do another excursion! Thanks everyone for a wonderful time! I should mention that the Atco bathrooms at Wakaw were spacious and clean, the drinks were reasonably priced and the horse drawn wagon rides held during pre-boarding were fun and hearts melt with petting and feeding...

What a fun way to celebrate our wedding anniversary... From getting on the train and then getting moved to a table for 2(thought we had requested it at booking). All of the staff were very engaging . We preordered lunch-- chicken sandwich for my husband and roast beef for me. The meals were delicious- fresh and very tasty. We received a coin from the staff as a memento of our anniversary . We enjoyed the mid way stop in Wakaw and the sheriff posed for pictures with us. All of the actors were engaging and we were looking forward to the "Heist". We were happy to contribute to it. We are now looking ahead to the Hallowe'en and Xmas events - planning on bringing along family to enjoy this unique Saskatchewan experience. A truly memorable day that we will be talking about...

We enjoyed the train ride but the actors were very hard to hear. There were four of us and none of us could hear and had no idea what was going on. We were seated in seats 3/4 & 7/8 which was at the end of the car. I think if you had seats in the center of the car, you would be able to hear better.

There are no washrooms on the train which is fine, but there is only one port-a potty at Wakaw. Which made for a long wait.

The actors had good interaction with the crowd, they took on their roles very well. The train itself was very unique and it was nice to see the country side.

On board there is a bar and concession if you wanted to purchase anything.

I’m giving it a three star because we couldn’t hear the actors. If we would have been able to hear, we would definitely...
