Reviews
"Something fun to do with the kids. It won't eat up the afternoon, but if you're going to the zoo or the museums, it's worth a stop."
"Good for the kids. $4 a head with some light displays during the holidays plus a psychedelic Wonka tunnel at the end, just about when most of the adults start reflecting on how they ended up on a miniature diesel train with two kids and grandpa plus a rucksack full of wipes and spare diapers. Staff super nice. No real wait when we went on a Friday night at 5:00 p.m."
"A good day to celebrate the 75 years of this mini train. The employees were very friendly. The route is 4 minutes, not very long, but enough for the little ones."
"The Balboa Park Railroad is located in San Diego right near the Zoo entrance. The Balboa Park Railroad is a miniature train small enough for the kids and large enough for the adults to ride also. The train ride is about 3 minutes long and takes you around 4 acres of beautiful balboa park and goes through a tunnel which was the kids favorite part of the ride. Your family will surely enjoy this experience ! $3.00 per ticket, $5.00 whistle (sounds just like the trains whistle! ) Free parking (Near the zoo or by the Spanish Village Art Center)"
