I have Amtrack points and I am wondering if there's any place I can go with my kids, via amtrack, sleep over somewhere and have a fun vacay over upcoming midwinter. Kids are 17 down to 5.

Where are you based?

I’ve taken Amtrak from NY to DC and Montreal (which was LONG)

I guess first figure out the nearest Amtrak station from you and see what leaves from there

I live in the city so penn station is my hub

I once took my kids to Niagara Falls by train from Penn Station. It was in August and Chabad was open and serving food. We stayed in the Sheraton Four Seasons Hotel right across the street. The train took a ridiculously long time, particularly at the border stop (like 10 hours there and 15 on return with delays). However, we had a great time and it was very memorable. As crazy as the ride was, my kids still talk about it almost 10 years later. I don't know if the food options are available now and it is probably very cold. The frozen falls are still very beautiful, but I don't think you can take a boat on them. However, you might want to consider that for the summer.
