Our family was kind of in a whirlwind the week of the trip so all the excitement and anticipation building I was going to do didn’t happen. So when the Amtrak Downeaster sent our family on the “Train to Maine” I wasn’t exactly sure how our little ones would take to it. While air travel comes with its own challenges because of ears popping and quick altitude changes, trains have different issues like longer sit times. So whether you’re going on a long or short ride, it’s best to prepare with some simple games and resources that will keep the whole family occupied & entertained.
Taking the train with kids is actually a great way to get around and see the countryside and our newest means of day-tripping as a family. Traveling with children is always a fun but tricky situation because you never know what to expect or what to bring.
