The ride is beautiful and the crew members are so polite! The concession stand had a good variety of drinks for all ages and snacks. The timing is perfect and the pricing was excellent.

I’ve been on both of them several times and I’ve never been disappointed so many great events and I have to say your conduct Malachi never disappoints me with the flute and his guitar and singing he’s excellent. Really makes it.

Rode the skunk train for the first time in my life! It was a terrific little adventure. Did the VIP route that included some scrumptious sandwiches. Communed with nature. Had a wonderful time.

It was a fun experience. A little pricey per person for the distance you travel. But we had a good time nonetheless. The stop at the old junction was neat and we had a beautiful walk through the forest. All in all I would recommend the skunk train.

Well managed, beautiful location, dog friendly. We walked the 0.9 mile loop trail through a redwood grove at the end of the ride; it was breathtakingly beautiful. The train makes a lot of clanking noise which can be scary for a dog, so be prepared to bring along your dog’s therapist.😁

A beautiful Christmas outing with the family! The vibe was great. There is an outdoor car to enjoy the elements which was really tremendous once we entered the forest! Good snacks and lots of fun. We loved it!! A+

So fun! If you enjoy a tranquil few moments in time, this is a great family adventure. It’s something a little different and an experience that is what you make it. It’s not a barn burner activity, but a sweet ride with sweet people that strive to make it a special day. It was a special Christmas activity to get us away from the hustle and bustle.

While in Fort Bragg, we rode the Skunk Train's Pudding Creek Express and loved riding through the redwoods on the open car. At Glen Blair Junction, you can hike before returning to the station to marvel at the model railroad and historical display of the area's logging. Great experience for young and old alike. Don't miss it!
