Timeless classic. The adventure that I was able to enjoy as a kid was gladly shared with my son. He thoroughly enjoyed the approx 40min ride.It is cash only and kids 1 to 12 are $4. The Trinity River is just not the same as I remembered it (dirtier now). Still an enjoyable experience with kiddos when the weather is nice.

Fun mini railroad for the whole family. get to go over a couple of cool bridges, and saw lots of squirrels, ducks, and birds which the little ones loved. Be sure to bring a couple bucks for water/popcorn at the halfway stop!

The day we went was a perfect day with the right amount of over cast and a cool breeze. The staff who run the train have always been very nice to us and try to accommodate everyone I large groups. The ride itself was good. The turn around for the train is like 20 ton25 minutes out. Ive seen the train stop halfway at the park, but that part is always closed when I go. Its okay though. I go when I can. They are open mainly on the weekends following the weather. On hot summer days, remember this is Texas. My mistake when I went then was wearing dark colors to absorb the heat.

Excellent for kids who loves trains. Excellent ride time. I think the parking area needs improve. The city also can improve the area.

What a fun train ride! I highly recommend it. I would recommend bringing a blanket or something to sit on, as the wooden slats on the seats arent comfortable.

Sweet little train ride. Open air cars. Inexpensive. Not too long for the little ones. Draw back would be if you are very tall it will be a tight fit!

You definitely get your monies worth. Its WELL over a 20 minite ride. Kids love it!

Fun family outing. BRING CASH for tickets; Cards are not accepted. $5 per adult. $4 per child 12 and under. Parking in the gravel lot is limited. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early for tickets and line position. There are 4 picnic tables where you can enjoy a snack while you wait. There is only one porta-potty.The train ride is about 40 to 45 minutes round trip, through the 31 squate miles of Trinity park. Only two average size adults will fit per bench seat. Bring a coat on the cooler days; The open air train is breezy.You may have to wait in a long line of Zoo traffic on the weekend just to get to the train station. Plan extra driving time on busy days do you dont miss your train.

It was great. Downside is too expensive, may be because we rode at the holiday season. Only very few people took the ride. It was 6$ for adult and $5 for children. The ride was great because it will take you to a long route (more than 30 minutes) where you get to see the entire park, the bridge, and even the real train if youre lucky. Do not go in the winter, its freezing mostly because of the wind. My son loved it so much.

Great atmosphere , a relaxing time with Family. The sites you get to experience near the Trinity river, passing thru Dream park and even get to view local restaurants with an exclusive view of the people riding their bikes or just out walking for fresh hair.Highly Recommended

I grew up riding this train. My parents used to take me here when I was a kid and I was so excited to be able to take my son on the same train that I used to ride when I was his age! Its still just as amazing as it was then!

A fun experience for the kids a bit cramped for adults. At one time the world longest miniature railroad.

We have a train lover in our family, and he was thrilled to ride! Its a long ride - about 45 minutes. Its a pretty drive along the river and Trinity park, but no super exciting sites to see. After that long, those benches start to get pretty uncomfortable so I suggest a front or back of coach seat for a little extra legroom.The station is right down the street from the zoo and across the street from a small park, so theres a few places you could tie in to make a trip out of it.Trains run hourly but the ones we saw left about five after the hour (including the one before us, which we missed, ours, and the one after us).They take CASH ONLY, no snacks or water available, so come prepared.

Cant believe this little gem is so close! Trains leave promptly and only take cash! Be sure to take lots of pictures

Ive rode this train 3 times now, its so much fun when you are looking for a inexpensive activity. Located very close to the Fort Worth Zoo (you even turn into the Zoos parking lot and go all the way back) this mini open coach train is a lot of fun and the kids loved it. The cost is $5 for adults, $4 for kids 1-12 and seniors, and free for under 1 year old. CASH ONLY! Its a beautiful ride through the trees of Trinity Park, over Bridges to see sunbathing turtles, and on a lucky day, an ice cream man at the Trinity stop on the way back. Bring CASH!! The train only accept cash, no checks, or cards of any kind. The train departs on the hour every hour so make sure to show up a bit early. Be sure to check their Facebook page to make sure they are open. Also, try to sit in a coach further back than directly behind the conductor, it does smell of gas since the train is gas powered. The seats can be a bit hard too so if you wanna be really comfortable, bring a blanket or pillow to sit on. Enjoy the ride!! It really is a treat!...by the way, there is a food truck park across the river.... Woot!

Very nice ride. We were there early and got to choose our seats people started arriving all at once and train filled up soon. A great ride that all the family can enjoy. Would definetly ride it again.

Very cool experience and very affordable!

What a great time for the family! The train ride wasnt too long. It was a nice scenic trip.

My best friend, my god daughter and I went and she loved it. We have been talking about taking her since she was born pretty much. It was a nice day with a cool breeze made for a pleasant ride. I love the view and this is a great childhood memory of my own. Hate to see them go. It is one attraction that needs to stay!

Why dont you keep this site up to date??? We went went out there especially for the train ride and the barricades were up even though the website said open. If they have a website why dont they keep current information ?

My 2 year old loved it. The train conductors are great. Love that theres a lil concession stand at the other side. Great views.

Kiddo (2.5 yr old) really loved the ride. Narrow seats for taller people. Train needs new paint but it was definitely worth the trip and the price was fair. Will go again next time we are in town.

I am sure the people are doing the best they can, but if you miss the time slot and have to wait until the next train beware of this. The only bathroom is a porta-potty that never gets dumped or cleaned. About the worse place I have ever seen. Train is good for 10 year Olds and under. Two to a seat, and no leg room. Adults ride with their child so if you have several kids, (Birthday party ) room is an issue. Would I do it again? Sure,but not bring food.

Very Scenic picturesque train ride through Trinity Park. Something really fun and enjoyable for the kids that lasts almost an hour. Sits right next to the Fort Worth Zoo and its affordable at prices ranging from $4 for adults $3.50 for kids and children under 2 are free I believe that is correct. No restroom stops once you get moving so make sure that the kids go before hand. I would recommend doing this early in the morning when they first open right before the zoo it gets the kids pumped and excited.

Its cheap and just the right amount of time for the ride. My 4 year old son loved it! Half way thru you stop for snacks and drinks, would go again for sure.

Simply put, just do it. Its a fort worth mainstay and the kids will love it. You might even think its not so bad in the end.

Had a great time with our granddaughter!

I grew up coming here and loved it, and now I get to watch my own children light up with joy riding on this train. Its such a simple, innocently pure, and cost efficient way of making memories with your little ones that is sure to last a lifetime. This is an attraction that makes me feel grateful to be from Fort Worth. The last time I went, they still make a small stop at a popcorn stand, but unfortunately no longer serve coke. Its truly a bummer, their coke was so crisp and went perfectly with the popcorn. Its best to bring cash, although I believe they now accept card, and just charge a service fee.

Usually runs daily from certain dates and times is about 20ish minutes except for after the noon ride its stopped till 2pm or closed for the day depending on customer traffic. Cute little train. Great for small kids. Cash only.

Great ride, not too short, not too long. Perfect for families with small children! Honestly relaxing and fun for all ages! I highly recommend it.

Great for little kiddos. Relaxing train ride through the park and over a couple Bridges.

Firs time visiting and I liked...Will be back soon ...

My son loves riding the train. Fun weekend activity for the kids.

Very relaxing and beautiful ride, park was clean too!

Such a great outdoor activity to take kids or even out of town guests! Benches are small therefore making it a little bit uncomfortable, the kids won’t notice but I recommend grown ups maybe bringing a back pillow. Remember cash only and you can’t reserve seats ahead, I would recommend catching an earlier train, the 1130-1200 train is always slammed.

Had a great time!

A terrific little historic train that Fort Worth is blessed to have. Its a great little train ride for the whole family. The ride takes you through Trinity Park and is adjacent to the nationally ranked (Top 5) Fort Worth Zoo.

This has been a classic, Fort Worth family-friendly activity for as long as I can remember (4+decades). A trip to the zoo is not complete without a ride on the Choo-choo.

Fun experience for my grandson. Five mile trip lasting 45 minutes. Very good value.

My toddler loves trains. He shouted choo choo every time he saw the engine. It took us on a small tour of the nearby Fort Worth area. It was about 45 minutes long and generally entertaining.The cons: the seats are small and not very comfortable. Bring a cushion. They make an obvious tourist trap stop where they sold popcorn and soda for two dollars each. I did not mind it but be aware.

Great park picnic area gigantic park for the kids. Scenic ride beautiful places to take pictures the park is great!

Even though its a 45min ride, it flys by. Very good for children and adults alike. Even kept the interest of my 5 month old. Defiantly recommend going in the mornings as its getting hotter. Its cash only and bring a few extra bucks if you like popcorn because it makes a pit stop at a popcorn and drink stand.

Fun ride! for whatever reason I was expecting a bit more, but that’s just me. Very relaxing. My toddlers enjoyed it.

This was an absolute joy to bring my kids on! They only take cash, which is understandable, just a heads up. The ride was about 45 minutes, and was super enjoyable! A great fall day activity! My only complaint which I cant fault the train for is the insane amount of bugs in the park but thats a personal problem A fantastic experience. Glad we found this!

My grand baby had a blast...she loved it n so did I... $5 for adults $4 for kids...1hr ride...awesome views...

This place is dead...many families waiting on this perfect day.Kid and I showed up twice, @10am then 1115am.

This is a very cool attraction in the middle of Fort Worth. If you or your kid like train or just want an easy ride through the park, this is definitely worth it.

An oldie but goodie staple in fort worth. The trains have seen better days, but they still chug along fine. The conductors are usually friendly. Its a simple fun thing to do in trinity park.

Beautiful, scenic and affordable.

Son fell asleep, but we had fun

This is a family favorite. Its so cheap and fun we will continue to go every year.

My grandchildren and I loved the ride and tour thru the park!

Our little ones loved it. Its a very nice route with plenty of shade from the sun. Lots of fun and worth the money.

We are regulars of this small train ride! Its amazing.

The staff is hilarious, the price is perfect, the ride is fun, and the views are great! Glad we finally did this!

Always a great time and a LONG ride for the price. Fun for the whole family!

Are the seats super comfy?NO!Is this still worth a ride?Absolutely.We take our children every once in a while because things do change along the route and it’s always fun to ride the train along the river and wave and people along the way.Also, nostalgia!

My 2 year old loved going on the train! The cost is great and this is something we can do over and over again. Well be back soon!

It was a nice hour ride and affordable adventure especially if your lil one has a love of trains!

I am only able to give this 2 stars because my son absolutely loves trains so he was extremely pleased. However, the people who run it are extremely rude. Especially the people selling the tickets and collecting tickets once you board the train.

Fun long ride of 45 minutes. You also cross a bridge over the river. My toddler loved it!

Thanks again to all the help and you get to see the kids tomorrow morning sweetheart love you well and have to be there tomorrow morning sweetheart

Babys 1st birthday

Love this fun activity! Id complain about the condition of the cars, but you cant based on the price of it. The sights you see are so fun!

Great time but BRING WATER.The guys running this attraction are great. Having fun and joking with us was really a treat. The kids liked seeing the river, the tracks follow it for a good while. It was very hot but the breeze and the shady trail did help a lot. The only thing I could think to make the experience at all better would be a cold drink and snack stand.

Excellent, wonderful for the kids. Do note that its cash only and they only have an portapotty as facilities, but its excellent and inexpensive. My children loved every minute.

Its a part of my childhood that I can return to whenever I like & share with my own children :)

Old fort worth attraction. Great place to take the young ones.

Great for kids just long enough. Has snacks but you can bring your own.

It’s good for kids, not to expensive give it a try!!

The kids really enjoyed it. There was some good scenery during the 40 min ride as we went by the river and through the park. The flat wooden seats on the train do get a bit uncomfortable after a while, though.I recommend having adults to sit near young children as there arent any barriers on the sides of the train.

Website states the train ride/station is open today and running till 5pm. However, upon arrival with my toddler the ride was closed! I left wk early, drove from Addison (fighting through traffic) after looking at their website and schedule. Nowhere did it indicate that they were closed for today (sunny Fri. 5/31/19) on their calendar!!I called their phone number once I arrived bcz I was confused and now I have a disappointed child.I left a message but I don’t expect management to respond or return my call...we’ll see.Very unprofessional business.

Fun little activity for the kids. My son had a blast.

Neat little train ride through Trinity Park. Seats are a bit crapped but not really bad.

Fun Lil ride, you get to see & too. Fun experience for the kids or the big kids in us.

This train ride is perfect for families with kids under 12 looking to experience trains and the Trinity River through Forest Park. It has been around a while and it is evident but it was safe, enjoyable, and a great memory to share with our grandson.

We had a great time!

Nice calm ride along the Trinity River.

Awesome for toddlers and little kids

Great place to take kids grandkids

Only thing we didnt like was that they dont take any debit/credit cards. Only cash.

Fun ride with little kids. You get to stop at the train depot and get a coke and popcorn if you would like.

Excellent day to ride with wife & granddaughter for her first time!!!!

Great to take children or better to take a ride with someone you love.

Been riding it for almost 50 plus years. Taking my kids for the past 20. Wish the city would help out more.

We enjoyed it too my granddaughter she had a lot of fun

I love bringing my toddler here! The ride to and from Trinity Park is at least 30 minutes. We both enjoyed it. I wish it was open everyday. The slow seasons are fall and winter (open Fri - Sun). Call before going up there. It is cash only.

Cool ride but the seats were very uncomfortable for how long it was

This is the best kept secret in Ft worth! Such a fun experience.

As someone from Michigan this was by far one of the coolest things (we have done so far). We saw horses at the park. The seats are not the most comfortable wont lie, but getting to see Texas like this was AMAZING !!!

Wish there was a car for larger people but overall the experience is amazing.

Fun little trip around the Trinity to the park and back for families and kids

Longest miniature trade ride we have ever had. Good value. We enjoyed riding over the bridges across the Trinity River. So much to see... Turtles, fish, and then the pretty park. Great fun for our train-loving son!

Wish there was a car for larger people but overall the experience is amazing.

Took grandson and grand mommy and loved it.

Good price for an hours ride.

My 2 year old daughter had fun riding on the train. I will say its pretty misleading in the information because you dont go anywhere near the actual zoo. Except the road across from its parking lot. It would be cool if it actually did go around the zoo. I think that would make for a better trip. Also, my boyfriend was unable to ride with us because they only take cash and there isnt an ATM available. Which really was disappointing. He had to miss his daughters first train ride. I would go again for my daughter. Thats about it though and make sure I have enough cash on hand.

This was fun for my kid. He is 20 months so the wait time for the train was the only bad part. The train runs every hour and it can get hot riding depending on the weather. I dont like that we go over part of the trinity with little to nothing keeping you from falling. That part is hard with an active child. The ride is about 45 mins long, its inexpensive, and the people along the route will waive. I would recommend it if youre around the area.

For my first visit it was great but now that I go frequently it sure got bored and I even notice a little more on the service from the people that work there, to start the people are already to old to give good service is one of those things where the older you get, you sure dont care, second the workers get to personal with the customer like if you have many kids they start telling you about your intimacy with your wife, I took my kids and nephews and this guy though they were all mine and even if they were that is not his business, sometimes to tell you the truth its kind of racist place, I see how they behave with others and Im Mexican American and they dont say it but their behavior with me is more like minimizing me, besides that the price is fair but besides that I would say is a once a year kind of thing.

The coolest place to take little ones for an adventure. Worth it!
