Our favorite train ride with family in the Bay Area. Short, cute, no stress and cheap ($3.50 per ticket or $15 for 5). The steam train rides through redwoods, some wild flowers, a bridge, a tunnel and you can also see some good views of the bay. We also saw a deer once. You can also buy some interesting memorabilia from the ticket shop.. our personal favorite is the kids train engineer hat. There is shorter hobby train down which only runs on Sundays 12-3pm. That train is free and takes donations only. Great for kids. Parking can be an issue sometimes.

It was a perfect experience we had, we even loved more than our toddler! It was a nice ride lovable moment with the family. You must try, its super safe and enjoyable and the staff was very friendly. The maximum waiting was 20min, if you have kids with you just keep their bags and stroller in the car and carry them to the train to be comfortable. Highly recommended

Great ride for all kids, 7+70! Diesel fueled, steam powered Amazing 15" track layout, not your usual circle loop. Bridges, tunnels, multi switches for different routes. It's the real thing in 15-in track.

Very chill place. Their whole park is to scale, and the trip around the tracks has great views. The staff are all very friendly, and passionate about trains. Excellent place for your Engineer Enthusiast.
