Families can ride the Ardenwood train with no advanced purchase required. Ardenwood Historic Farm’s train ride takes kids on a 1 3⁄4 mile ride into the park with docents dressed in period costumes. Journey past rows of crops and through eucalyptus groves as you travel more than 100 years back in time.
Check the daily schedule and meet the train at Arden Station or Deer Park Station. This is a drop-in program; no registration is required or accepted.
Round trips are about half an hour, but you may also choose to disembark at Deer Park Station for a 20-minute ride. See the map.
