Dan the Choo Choo Man

It’s actually Dan Dan, not just Dan… Trust me, even more fun!
We had Sheryl out driving our train for my son’s third birthday yesterday and we all loved it! She was fun and accommodating and was smiling the whole time, even though it was a bit chilly.
The first time we saw Dan Dan the Choo-​Choo Man was at a friend’s birthday party a couple years ago, and they’ve continued with the great service and experience. Kids and adults can ride in the covered train cars, and even passers-​by can’t help by smile when they see you go by.
I’d highly recommend booking Dan Dan the Choo-​Choo Man for your next party or event. I’m not sure exactly how far they go from their offices in Emmett, but we’re in Lake Orion and they had no issue coming out and arriving in plenty of time for our fun entertainment.

Not sure why Unilocal has this business listed as closed — I just used them yesterday. They are based in Emmett but came to my in southern Clinton Township without issue.
Booking was easy enough (about a month out for a Satuday event). The train came right on time and was a lot of fun! The train holds 12 kids but adults can ride too (and we did!!). Boys and girls ages 4 months to 12 years all rode as well
After the train left, my three year old told me it was *SO* much fun and his best gift ever and I seriously almost cried (yes, I’m a big sucker for the kids). So it’s going to be tough to top it next year and seriously was a great change of pace (and bigger hit) the usual bounce house or costumed character we usually do.
Our conductor (Sheryl I believe her name was) was GREAT! Great with kids (even the naughty ones) and fun with adults! You can tell she enjoys her job and has a lot of fun with it. My son is so anti-​social about «new people» sometimes and even he thought she was so much fun. She seemed to have made herself familiar with our neighborhood and was able to take our train to a lot of cool places (parks, schools, businesses) which was exciting instead of just around the block 50 times (which the kids probably still would have liked, lol).
I HIGHLY recommend something like this for children’s birthday parties. I think a lot of people don’t realize the price is very reasonable (175 for an hour… and an hour is a nice amount of time). The younger kids LOVE it and the older kids get a kick out of going on «parade». Also, I was told the train can run in light rain so even though we had a sunny day I was glad to know that a little drizzle would not ruin our fun (it initially was going to rain last weekend here). I will be recommending them HIGHLY to all my friends. Thanks for making his third birthday a HIT!
