We very much enjoyed the Grand Canyon, the bus rides to the various viewing places, the restaurant at GC village. Even the train ride was neat because we had never been on a train ride. The gift shop/ticket booth was overwhelmed with people waiting for the train seating to open for loading because it was bitter cold outside and everyone wanted the heated indoors. We were smart to order the car seat with an observation dome (vs coach) for a better view. If we do it again, we will get the luxury dome (children under 2 not allowed) yes, screaming all the way. The train crew was really great, they served us well, answered questions patiently, and entertained us until we smiled. Overall a very nice trip, probably much better than bringing our own car there, somehow feeling group transport is better for the environment in some way.
