Had a great time exploring the Goleta Depot & South Coast Railroad Museum. Free to walk around and great place for a picnic or hike. Miniature train goes around the place and it costs but not much at all. Totally worth a visit. There is also the history Stow house & ranch museum on the property. Free to look around but tour cost $5 I think.
The nice railroad museum in Goleta! The whole park is well organized and clean. You can have a ride on the small train. Children are free, and for adults and $2.5 for a ride. The ticket prices are reasonable and you can learn more about the train! It’s fun.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$1–5

Cute train that takes you on a 10 minute ride for $2.50. The kids enjoyed it. You can walk through the old ticket office and see all the old office equipment. A small gift shop. We bought toy trains for $2 and coffee mugs for $5. The train conductors were very friendly. An old farmhouse in back had goats that my kids had fun feeding.
This is such a fun little train museum, that also features a small scale train that you can buy a ticket $2.50 to ride around the grounds. Great for train lovers, history buffs, kids, or the kids at heart. All the staff are very friendly and helpful! A++
It's like traveling back in time, very well preserved.
It's great to go through the museum grounds for a walk with your dog & a little slice of heaven for rail fans! The Stow House is right next door and foot paths lead to a walk around a small lake. Gorgeous property & landscaping, plenty of ez free parking.
I used to take my young boys here regularly because they simply couldn't get enough of all things trains. It's a great way to spend an hour or two strolling the grounds and taking a step back in time to when train travel ruled the U.S. The mini-train ride is a treat and should not be missed. The gift shop is also worth a look around.
