RecommendedWe took the Willits Skunk Train to the wolf Tree and it was a great experience! We loved the bits of history and facts we were given by our conductor Matt. We stayed on the open air train and were able to enjoy lots of great moments! The tunnel was so much fun! Also a plus was that the snack train car sold adult beverages for a fair price! Also an added bonus was the train singer!
Fun for kids! Our grand daughter enjoyed the trip & she loved playing with other children at the stop in the middle of the woods! If anything could be better, I’d say maybe the train go a little bit faster & maybe a place where soft drinks & or ice cream are sold at the rest stop?! Great fun overall….😊
From booking the trip. The staff when we arrived was so pleasant and look such good care of us. What a wonderful experience our 4 generation plus cousins had. Something we will cherish forever. Thank you. 5 stars!!!
Yes it’s a nice little trip into the beautiful redwood trees and to see how the train ran in the past
A wonderful treasure among the redwoods.
It was so much fun. My husband and I have always talk about it. What made it so special this time was that I was able to take my fur babies. I didn’t have to leave them in the trailer. They also enjoyed the ride. It a must thing to do ! Shrunk Train and beyond 😎
We loved the experience of traveling through an estuary and riding on a historic railroad tracks! Skunk train staff narrated historical sites and facts about the nature of the estuary Pudding Creek and the redwoods …both educational and fun. A stop at Glen Blair Junction gave us another source of adventure with a picnic area, games and hiking trails. We traveled in an enclosed car one direction and the open car on the return . we highly recommend experiencing both cars.
We took the Skunk Train this past weekend while on our Anniversary getaway and we had a great time! We would recommend to anyone visiting the area.
This was a cute little train ride. We drove over 9 hours to do this , and we were a bit disappointed at how short the ride really was. However, I’m so glad we did not book the rail bikes (which is what we really wanted to do) because it was the same short ride at an astronomical price. So, that being said, the train was a better option for what you get.
