We had a wonderful time! The views are incredible, guides were wonderful and it’s such a unique experience! I would recommend it to anyone!
rail bikes are an adventure and we were able to take our fur baby!
Had a fun time with out 8 month old, he loved the lights and Santa, will be coming back next year when he can understand more!
My mom came to visit from the Midwest and we didn't know what to expect with the Skunk Train, but it was off the rails! Totally fun experience combining the outstanding outdoors and the excitement of exercise! All of the staff was wonderful and I would do this trip again 100%.
My husband, my mother, my 6 year old twins and I enjoyed the Pudding Creek Sunk Train ride. Timewise, it was a good amount of time to engage my children. We enjoyed the stop at the half way point, where we could get off the train and explore. The train had a food car, plenty of seating and an open car where you could stand outside during the train ride. It was exciting for my children and pleasurable for us adults. We definitely plan on going back for more adventures on the Skunk Train!
An incredible experience for my partner and I for our 4th anniversary. This had been her first time, while I had done a couple of trips with my family at a younger age. Going back after nearly a decade, I was still struck with the beauty of the landscape, was soothed by the gentle rocking of the train going along the tracks, and was humbled by the kindness of the staff. Thank you again, Skunk Train! I hope to continue my family tradition with mine and my partners’ kids one day :)
Beautiful ride through the redwoods from Ft. Bragg with a top notch crew. Don’t forget to check out the model railroad in the building across the tracks.
“All aboard” the conductor bellowed to start this adventure. Unfortunately we had some mechanical issues and barely made it out of Willits before having to return. We had wanted to take our toddler on an adventure and start a new family tradition so we were sad when we didn’t get the full trip but wow did the staff leave an impression. My toddler now plays with her train set daily and I can hear her screaming “All Aboard” from the other room. That one phrase has stuck with her and for that we are grateful. Thank you for have... read more
