Reasonable ticket price. Fun and long ride. They have a practical approach to keep social distancing during the covid. Very impressive.

Had a lot of fun , me and my girlfriend went out to shoot some pictures , and these are few some of our favorite.. there’s so much to capture here . Very relaxing and peaceful environment.. I will come back with more people so they can experience this ..

A great inexpensive way to see Hermann Park. The railroad is located fairly close to the Houston Zoo entrance, but the railroad does not take you through or around the Zoo. Instead, the railway takes you around many of the other activities available in Hermann Park. The ride is not down a really short path either. Without timing it, I would say it lasted 15 minutes or so. Our entire family enjoyed this experience.

During Covid-19, the workers put safety first. Social distancing is enforced, wearing a mask is must. Hand sanitizer is available. Seats on the train is sanitized after each ride. Kids will love the train ride! Price is good, $3.75 per person.

This wasnt the first time weve been to ride on the train. Always love going 2 ride on the train at Hermann Park. I remember when I was a small child and we used to go. A lot of great memories.

Fun & relaxing. We get on every time we come to Houston.

Always fun with my 4 y/o

A great trip and a fresh update on a childhood favorite memory. Social distancing doesnt do much good if the employees dont wear masks or dont wear them properly.

This park is family friendly and lots to do with the kids. We go here all the time and we always have a blast. The parking is a bit challenging because there are always more visitors than parking. Parking is free.

Toddler loved riding the train and hearing the conductor blow the whistle periodically. We also did the pedal boat but the novelty wore off quickly in the heat.

The best thing of going for a ride here is seeing the happy faces of all the children while the railway is coming! Personnel and drivers are very nice people that understand how much of a big thing is for the kids to ride it. The view while in the railway is just breath taking. All for a very low cost per person. Each ride lasts about 15 to 18 minutes. It is for sure a must thing to do during summer break from school.

My daughter loves this train! It was a very inexpensive way to see the majority of this park and could comfortably seat two adults across. One stop was right by the kids playground and we got to stop and enjoy the splash pad. The staff was very nice and because it was our first visit went out of their way to explain how the train system worked so we would get the most out of our day at the park.

My little girl loves it. Wish there was a membership available.

Was a nice ride, and my grandson loved it!

That old lady nice af!

Wonderful train ride that is great for people of all ages! Its a good amount of time that has a few stops. Even if you arent going anywhere its a nice train that is well maintained.

So much fun and nice people everywhere!

Great ride, we all enjoyed

The train ride was awesome. What we saw along the route were nice. The park itself is very nice. We took the ride from the museum to the park near the lake. My son would love to take another one but it was too short for 4 dollars. So I did not go the second time. Instead, we took the paddling boat on the lake.

Fun, just like when I was a kid...

Its from 10 am to 5 pm, train has 3 stops along the trip you can get in those other stops however it needs to have a space from the central station, I mean it should be less crowdy. I enjoy the ride it takes 15-20 minutes to complete, it was around $3-$4 per people, they dont get ticket less than 2 yo.

My kid just loves this train and cant wait for our next visit to the park just to go for a ride.

Loved this park. It was late in the day after doing the zoo so was not able to explore it all. We did feed the ducks and ride the train.

Great place to spend the afternoon.

Train was great fun.

Very fun for all ages!

This is really large park in the heart of Houston.

Good ride covering the park, 15mins.

Been on this so many times that now I actually nod off at times on it. It is a great rickety little train that shows you around the park. The audio system is a bit miffed so you have to focus to understand what is being said. You can get on/off at each station which makes access to the kids play area and splash pad easier from the main parking lot

Kids and I we love it so much on Xmas day.

Great little train. Several places to stop and walk around. We took the train from the Museum to the zoo, saved our feet a little.

Would rather the locomotive actually be a steam engine than sounding like a tractor, but it is a nice ride around the park. Good place to take pictures all around too.

I love this gem nestled in beautiful hermann park. Friendly staff and service. Easy on easy off options, and very affordable. It is always relaxing and fun ride.

Fun for the kids.

This train was easily my favorite part of a day at the zoo. I feel that the price was very fair for the length of the ride, and it was a great way to see the park and local areas.

Great place for adults and kids

Our 3-year old granddaughter said it so well, This is so fun!

Love to do this 2 miles train ride . Kids love that .

It was really nice! And you can hop on and hop off in two stations! Very fun

18 minute train ride around the park. The ticket price is $3.75 per person, and there’s a little gift shop at the train station as well if you want to pick up something to remember the trip by. Wouldn’t really put this as a must do if you’re visiting; there wasn’t anything special to see or anything. Probably cute for little kids (probably not older than 7 or 8) but would skip this if you’re in a group of adults.

I cannot rave enough about the train. My toddlers absolutely love riding it, it makes moving from the Houston Zoo to the Houston Museum of Natural Science and back again so easy, and the all day riding pass it very reasonably priced. The ride is about 20 minutes with three stops before returning to the station, and the staff have always been extremely friendly and engaging with my little ones. Wonderful park activity!

Older Houston Train - well kept but really squeaky! Conductors are professional & sweet! Like many large cities we have our homeless - but the kids live seeing the ducks, wildlife & even bunnies!

Way Less expensive and way more exciting than the zoo.

It looked like a blast. We did not get to ride because of a toddler melt down. I wish they had multiple trains on busy days to decrease the wait time.

Nice little train ride around the park with pre-recorded tour guide audio.

Great ride for a minimum cost.

A fun activity for kids who love trains and a good way to see Hermann park without too much walking.

It is a very nice playful way to see Hermann Park!

Excellent enjoyment for both kids and adults. Memorable journey

Great！My baby loves it so much！！

This is a great attraction for kids. The train has been apart of Hermann Park for decades. The entire ride takes about 20 minutes and winds its way around the park stopping at various stations that you can get off and on at. We usually buy a day pass and ride all we want. Ride twice and it pays for itself.A word of caution to families with young children, heck anyone for that matter. A portion of the ride goes to one corner of the park that is nearest the medical center. There is always a large concentration of homeless folks hanging out around the statue of Mr. Hermann. They wont bother you as train riders but they seem to be in various states of mind at any given time. Some forget to wear the proper amount of clothing at times so be on the lookout. This is absolutely no fault of the Hermann Park Railroad, however it does need to be mentioned.Overall a great ride for kids and one that I will continue to enjoy with mine.

Fun grandkids enjoyed it R I could get a little longer but very very nice

Affordable train ride and a good way to explore Hermann Park without getting too tired.

Kids ready enjoy it. Not the most comfortable ride though if you are tall like me 68

Its a great family park. My children love riding the train, getting off at the playground, playing and then getting back on to ride to the station. Though there is a lot of parking because of the zoo, it generally fills up on holidays, weekends and special events so it helps to arrive before 10am on holidays and weekends if you want to find parking quick amd easy. Saying that, we generally arrive afterwards and drive around a few minutes for a spot. Have a great time.

Its beautiful a lot of open space, but its not going to take it more than 1 o 1 and a half hours to visit it at all

Was a superb ride, my grandson was so excited.

Ride lasts 10-15 minutes around the park. Fun for the kids

One of the coolest park railroads I’ve been on! If you get on at one of the other stops they don’t ask for tickets but you have to get off at the main station and get tickets if you want to get back on and get dropped off where you got on. Even though the trip is 18 minutes there are usually several trains running.

My kids love the train.

Adorable entertainment for kids and their parents. Long ride, good service.

Love the new look has ben a while since i was here

Took my oldest for his 3rd birthday. He enjoyed it a lot!!I remember riding the train when I was his age and older too :)Wonderful family memories!!

Awesome my son loved it!

Ive loved this place for over 55 years. What a great family friendly place to take anyone of all ages.

Beautiful place to walk and watch the sunset

It is a fun informational 20 minute ride.

Good place for outing

Pretty good for little kids. Would sit a few carts away from the diesel engine as the smell can be overwhelming once the train gets going.

Great way to see Hermann parks 445 acres without getting tired. This is for ALL AGES and narrated tour is given on the 28 minute ride

Great place for leisure with Family. Kids will love it.

A must do for kids of all ages. Takes you around the park and has an informative audio to accompany your trip.

Sooo boring and the wait was long but my 5 year old thought it was the best thing ever and thats really the only opinion that counts.

Great spot for meditation

Fun for the kids, my sisters love the train each time we go to the zoo

Great train ride!

Cute little ride for the young ones...!

Its really nice - my kids really like to go on the train almost every weekend

This place makes you happy and enjoy your life.

Nice place to bring your kids and near a zoo and its a good place to exercise

It was great my sons first train ride

Its fun for the kids and nice ride for parents to simmer down.

Best small gauge railroad. Affordable family fun, track goes all the way through the park with stations that you can hop off and on at.

Great for kids of all ages. Recently renovated, Houston tradition for 50+ years

Friendly staff! My son loved it!

Great for kids and the young at heart. Beautiful views of the Hermann Park.

Nice two mile trip around Herman park, good for hatching pokemon eggs

Fun fun and more fun

Nice ride. Wish it was longer

My kids love it, and it is a nice train ride with commentary about the park. But it is pricey--3.50 per person, even toddlers

Great park train ride. Several stops to choose from for a picnic.

Great experience

Seat hurt my button, but was fun to go around on a date

One of my favorite things to do

See all the animal 10am bathtime elefant
