It's "Kids Ride Free" time at the Texas State Railroad. This popular East Texas attraction is still making it easier than ever to take a memorable train ride. The 126-year old railroad is ready for another season and the surrounding area is full of bed and breakfasts, camping and motel opportunities as well as communities in which to spend time. Through the end of August, children 12 and under ride free. Up to five children are allowed per paying adult. For reservations and more information call (800) 442-8951 or (903) 683-2561.
