Describe this trip activity or tip:
Train travel can offer some great savings especially for families, so do your homework and shop around for the best deal. Amtrak features half-priced tickets for children ages 2 to 15 when traveling with a full-fare paying adult. Kids under 2 are always free and this is available every day of the year! And travel during off-peak times and seasons and look into special packages for the lowest fares and discounts available.
