WOW! Had no idea that they could decorate this place so good like they did. I would say this is the PERFECT place to kick off your Christmas season.

Nice place to take the kids, the little train cities are so cool and the ice cream cones so yummy! ️

Did the halloween ride, my 3yo loved it. Line wasn't too bad. Our second visit for a train ride, great place!

Nice park with open spaces and large play ground for toddlers and young children.
Carousel and train ride available for a fee.

The park itself is great! We held a birthday park there, booked a Ramada a year in advance. Reviewed all rules and even called to ask about birthday wristbands twice prior. I was told kids 2 and older would need a wristband and to buy day of. It was a 5 year birthday party, so most kids had at least 1 parent with them. The train conductor was rude on numerous occasions, even embarrassing some of my party's parents about how they needed a wristband too. He would "let" some of them ride, while calling out others and making them leave their kid unattended on the train. Not one staff member came to speak to me at our reserved Ramada to clear up misinformation. I ended up buying almost $200 in wristbands and still had attendees embarrassed. A staff member then said "we don't do birthdays here! "Despite the fact that we were surrounded by other Ramadas consisting of parties and my son was wearing a birthday tshirt specifically bought in their gift shop! There is no convenient loading zone for birthday supplies, nor any wagons or carts. I was sorely disappointed in how much the train park makes off of birthday parties and lacks any support to make the experience pleasant. We will return to visit the park as a family, but I do not recommend any birthday celebrations until they get more onboard, convenient, and less rude to people you invite. Unfortunately since I was managing the flow of the party, I do not know the train conductors name that day or this information would've been directly reported to management. This park can do better.

Interesting place for train buffs learning for kids. Amazing miniature railroad tracks with multiple trains running.
No cost exceot for train rides, scaled down size. Good place to spend a day. Eric from Lombard IL

Took the family. It was fun and the steam engine train was great. We also enjoyed the miniature train museum.

Always an amazing park to take the kids to after school. Our kids love it! A park with an operating train, that also has a great playground, a little Western town, AND an ice cream shop? Yes, please!

Such a great beautiful park to bring family and kids! I love it and honestly for the food you pay for it's cheap and good. I would recommend the icecream for sure! But I love this park. Its huge and they've got a cute little train that takes you throughout the whole park
Lots of playground space for the jungle gyms and for you to just play ball or something. I definitely want to check it out in the winter time because it looked like they have all new lights set up for the train to go through. Really cool place. And they have all this information about trains and history of Arizona in a little park too that's pretty interesting. Go check it out!

The kids always have a blast here. What's not to love? Large park, train rides, playgrounds, Christmas lights, museum. Great option for the little ones!

Super, super cute place to bring the 10 and under crowd, especially if they are train enthusiasts! Not too expensive, and a handful of different things you can do there! Our favorite part was the train ride, western town park, and ice cream! Looking forward to coming back for the holiday lights!
The only thing I would love for them to change is for the carousel to run for two minutes longer, it only ran for 90 seconds, and for 3 dollars a ride, that was a little short.

I grew up in Mesa and it was a real treat visiting this park when I was a kid. I loved trains. It's especially fun to visit during Christmas with all the lights!

Really nice Christmas decorations just went up! I believe it is open to the public for free all day until 5pm. Then it is $15 and you get to ride the train and Carousel with that.

There is ice cream, pizza, pretzels, and Hot Coco for sale as well.

Wonderful park for kids of all ages. Lots to see and do for free and a nominal fee. Setting up for holiday events when we were there. We'll definitely be back.

This is a wonderful park, that will take you back in time to the days of the railway. The trains are family friendly, during the holidays they are extra festive and fun. The old time carousel is beautiful. The ice cream shop delicious. I could go on and on just a great park, nice people, if I had to complain I wish the staff had more history knowledge
