What a fun place this is! I took my 6yr old son here for the Halloween event. They had ponies, train ride, big paddle boats & bike rentals! So much to do here & fairly priced. Staff was super friendly as well.. Very cool park to go to w family & spend the day.

I really enjoy going to Irvine Railroad Park! Its a great way to spend family time outdoors, with plenty to do besides just walking around. Going on the railroad ride is a must every time! Fall is my favorite time of year to go because they have the pumpkin patch. Theyve also adapted to the current COVID climate and while they arent requiring masks anymore for guests, the staff wear them and they sanitize in between each train ride.

Totally awesome Xmas train ride experience with the kids and family. Wait times were longer than our reserved time but the decorations and experience were on point and well worth it!

There is plexiglass separating each car and some individual seating has plexiglass. They use some sort of sanitizer to spray down all the train cars in between rides.

Love the place first time doing the horse ride it cost you $6, railroad ride is $6 too. We rent the boat ride as well is $20 for 30mins. Max of 2 adults or 1 adult and 2 kids. Bike rentals are also available, single or up 4 riders bikes. They have a refreshment place, they serve coffee, ice cream, Sodas, popsicles hamburgers and hotdogs. The zoo is right next to it. Friendly. Entry is just $3. Peacock can sight all around the park. Plenty of green area. Grill are available and picnic tables can be spot everywhere. For just a time of relaxing or family time this is the perfect place to go.

I really liked the urban light installation outside the Irvine Park Railroad. I like how symmetrical the installation is but also how there is a lot of variety in the lamp fixtures as well as the posts. Of course theres a really cool place to take photos or get your selfie but I can really appreciate the hard work that went into installing the whole project.

I took my family out here Saturday, September 26, 2020. The country’s in a middle of pandemic with so many Americans refusing to acknowledge the disease, but at Irvine Park Railroad they were complying. It was so refreshing to see so many wearing the masks, social distancing and just looking out for each other. Thank you ... We’ll be back.Highly recommended

What a magical little place. I remember coming here as a kid to go the petting zoo. I didnt remember much else until I went to the Irvine Park Railroad For Adults night hosted by Oaklandish. I remember seeing Oaklandish t-shirts but I had no idea they hosted fundraisers.

Great for our 5 year old granddaughter. Best to go early especially for the train and zoo to avoid long lines. Zoo opens later than the park activities.

Irvine regional park is an incredible park. They have a train ride, pony rides, quad bike for 2-4 people, paddle boat, picnic areas, pumpkin patch area, and much more. My family really enjoyed this place. We will be going there often.

The Christmas lights are amazing but the Great Pumpkin weight off in September is so much fun. It’s a must do if you like Halloween! The growers are fun to meet, the stories are great to listen too and a great Instagram opportunities! There are 1,000’s of pumpkins too walk through.

Nice place. A bit of a snaffu with them saying the train tickets are sold out, but the train Appeared to be running empty. There is obviously more to what meets the eye, they opened up a few tickets and we were able to enjoy the ride and Santas village. Amazing hot chocolate.

Train rides start at 10 am and cost $6 per person, for both adults and children. They do a wonderful job of maintaining social distance and safety due to covid-19 including; plexiglass partitions between cars and sanitizing before and after each train departure.

Christmas train is awesome. We do this every yr. Tickets sell out quick though. They charge for parking during the day but its not over priced. The zoo is small but still interesting. All animals are indigenous to the area. Many playgrounds and walking trails. Lake fishing, snack bars, rental shop. Very nice park.

We love Irvine park railroad located inside of Irvine park. There are so many seasonal activities but the best part is you can go down and ride the train any time of year. The seasonal festivities are so much fun and really bring a unique twist to a family outing during a holiday. A must visit is during Easter time, Halloween time, Christmas time, and of course we love any time of year but during seasonal festivities they have extra games, cookie decorating, themed photo opportunities and special events!

This is a fun family place by with so much to offer at reasonable rates. Weve ridden the railroad twice now, gone to the zoo and enjoyed a couple of the playgrounds. There are beautiful wide open spaces to run and play, and leashed dogs are welcome. Ample picnic areas including grills and seating are also available.

There is so much to do here and it is very well maintained. The park staff is fantastic. They are always friendly and helpful. A few favorite activities for my family include riding the train, trotting ponies, Surrey bikes, the zoo, the nature center, and having a picnic at one of the countless shaded areas in the park. It is only $3 to park, $5/ea to ride the train and ponies, and you can often find specials through Groupon on the Surrey bikes. You can easily make a day out of visiting the park and exploring.

Its a place where time has stood still. Not old, not new, but homey with beautiful trees and natural foliage that has not been shaped into boxes... if you know what I mean. It is a perfect place to spend the day with your family or friends. You can actually have a quiet conversation without the TV on in the background. The employees are very helpful and polite as well. I will return.

Usually the Irvine Park Railroad is a good time however I was disappointed with their Christmas train. Halfway through the ride they drop you off to meet Santa. The line can get long and there really isnt much to do other than a snack bar.
