Sometimes it seems as if virtually every child goes through a train phase at some point. Kids love trains, which is why shows like “Thomas the Tank Engine” are so popular. Every kid dreams at some point of riding the rails or being a conductor on a real train.
While most people outgrow this phase at some point, there is still something exciting about riding on a train. You may not have the chance to take your kids on a real train (аттракцион паровозик на рельсах) at any point, but you can still give them a railroad experience by taking them to an amusement park (детские развлечения) that has such rides.
These rides resemble roller coasters (американская горка) in that there is a train of cars that moves along a track. However, unlike roller coasters, these rides are not focused on traveling at high speeds or swooping up and down. Instead, they try to recreate the real experience of riding on an actual train.
This means that the ride looks like a train, with a locomotive, a string of cars, and a caboose. Kids can sit wherever they want. They can ride in the locomotive and pretend to be driving the train, or they can sit in a passenger car and look out the window. They can even sit down in the caboose if they want.
Because these rides do not go very quickly, they are perfect for kids of all ages. You could even take a baby on one and not have to worry, as long as you hold onto them. Of course, a baby may not even know what is going on, but it is nice to find a ride that is suitable for the whole family.
These rides can be found in other place than amusement parks as well. For instance, some parks may have trains (детский аттракцион паровозик) that people can go on. These often travel in a loop through some attractive scenery to give people a look at areas that they might not normally get to see.
Around Halloween, many train rides (аттракцион Детская железная дорога) like this are dressed up to become a bit spookier. There may be “haunted tunnels” that they go through, or ghosts or goblins might pop up near the side of the tracks. This can be a lot of fun, but make sure that your kids know that this is all just make-believe. You do not want anyone getting really scared, after all.
You could even buy a small train track and set it up in your yard if you have enough room. This can be really enjoyable for your kids. They will not have to wait for a trip to the amusement park (детский парк аттракционов) to pretend that they are driving a train. They can just go out the back door!
Trains are very popular with people of all ages, and this popularity does not seem to be on the wane. Your kids will love to ride on a train at the park. This is a great way to make sure that they have a lot of fun.
