RecommendedMy 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
A fun train ride threw the beautiful redwoods !
My wife and I took the rail bikes. What a blast!!! Staff was friendly and helpful.
Took a ride on the Skunk Train last Friday. staff was very friendly & helpful. We were able to take Paws (the dog) &,he loved it too. Enjoyed learning the history and seeing the beautiful forest. Also enjoyed the model railroad museum. Highly recommend taking the train! v
My girlfriend and I enjoyed the Rail Bikes. Our guide was Johnny and Ezira. Both of them were so attentive and kind to us. Safety was high on their list and also a great sense of humor. We just had the most enjoyable day on the Rail Bikes. And then for anyone reading this review/ make sure that you do the hike. Be sure to dress in layers and have some thing to keep your hands in your neck warm. The day was sunny but it was cool and I’m so pleased I had a hooded jacket…
What a romantic way to spend the day. The beautiful scenery along the way and the enchanting deck in the redwoods was delightful.
