Reviews
This was a superb experience through the redwood forest in Santa Cruz county. If you are in the area and you have never done this, I highly recommend it. It is well worth the price. Make sure you make a reservation online. We made a reservation for the last train of the day. We did the redwood train and not the one that goes to the Santa Cruz boardwalk which looked amazing as well as we Saw that train pulling into the depot as our train was ending its tour. It was a really cool experience waving at all the folks on the other train coming in from the boardwalk. I think we will definitely try that one next time. The last train of the day was nicer as the park was not as busy. We also went during the weekday which helped. The history the conductor narrates and talks to you throughout the entire ride is really great. The history is just amazing. He played the violin when we stopped for our 10 minute break in the forest while the engineer checked the engine. The switchbacks on the railway were amazing. You can also see an old trestle that had burned down many years before. It was crazy to see that the train used to do such a tight hairpin turn on it. It was just so peaceful and beautiful. The train is in its 60th year though the redwoods. It is on a 99-year lease. I hope it stays in place far past 99 years. Such a superb and amazing experience. Highly recommend!
This place is absolutely gorgeous! The train ride was an amazing experience. There is a small 10-minute break to snap a couple of photos . You get to experience a lovely sight of the redwoods and while listening to a little backstory of the park and railroad. It is located on the state park grounds, which in itself is beautiful. The visitors center is a few steps away . There are beautiful walking trails to visit too. I took my 5 and 2 year old, and they loved every min of it . The trails were flat and safe for them to enjoy and also went crazy for the train!
I visited Roaring Camp for the round trip train ride to the top of Bear Mountain and back. It was such a cute little cowboy town built to resemble a different camp. The weather really made it feel like we were no longer in the Bay Area until we boarded the train to travel into the redwood forest. I really enjoyed the conductor’s commentary about the history of the area and fun facts about the environment including the old tracks, the trees, and warnings of poison oak! It was really relaxing riding the train and breathing in the crisp air. Parking in the Roaring Camp lot is included when you purchase a train ticket online and it’s also right beside the redwood state park, so I enjoyed walking around both after returning from the train ride.
Super fun train during moonlight train ride. BBQ before hand was pretty good. They are a nice family run place that really makes a nice outing for all. They like to teach all about the steam engine and everything else about the history of trains and logging and the property. Definitely going to the the moonlight ride once a year.
Had an amazing time at Roaring Camp! The train ride through the redwoods was both scenic and educational. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, creating an atmosphere that was perfect for families. Definitely a must-visit for anyone looking to step back in time and experience some natural beauty. Highly recommend!
The Moonlight dinner was incredible! I purchased tickets in advanced for a date night. The BBQ dinner was amazing and we even got a slice of apple pie and hot apple cider. The music and staff made the entire evening even more pleasant. Enjoy the day train rides with the family, but the dinner events with your significant other and leave the kids at home :
This was my third time here in the last 10 years. We love the train ride through the redwoods. We also took the round trip train ride to Santa Cruz boardwalk and back. Both are fun ones to do.
I don't write a lot of reviews, but this place is worth your time. Friendly staff, easy parking, good food, and the main attraction the train ride is incredible. Hands down the best way to roll to the beach. However, I recommend also doing the ride through the forrest. Very nice.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$31+
Oh my goodness, this train ride was so much fun. My whole family loved every second. The views are so magical. First car was the best because it was open sides with a canopy over head. Bring snacks or a picnic because you can eat on the train and people even brought their dogs!
Great steamed train experience. Very chill and peaceful ride. We also saw the deer! The ride is ~75 mins and they gave you a 10mins break during the trip. We booked ticket online first then picked up at the station.
