Best open ride through the forest! The entrance is right next to the first parking lot when you enter the park as you come from South. I am not sure of the timing, but we did not have to wait. The ticket is very cheap, 3$/ person, and the ride is worth above the price. We are in for a 15-20 min ride through the forest and I would recommend the open carriages.

Lots of fun for small children with an interest in trains. My last two trips were in the winter and it has always been colder than I expected due to winds at the top of the hill and sitting in a moving train.

Lovely little toy train through the forest. Great for your little one. We brought our 11 month old for the trip and he was happy. The ride is fun but short. For three bucks it's great. The laid back nature of the park contributes to the experience. Will recommend.
