Pullen Park is one of my doggos top favorite places to walk. There are tons of mental stimulation for her. The whole park kinda connects all around so its really cool to just keep walking and watch the scenery change from one part of the park to another. Theres also a small cafe which is convenient whenever we forget to bring our own drinks. Great selection of music over loud speakers. The park is well taken care of- almost never any clutter or trash randomly about. Staff is always super friendly! Great place for picnics, dates, photo sessions, workouts, yoga.. pretty much any outdoor activity. Theres plenty of open areas.

Pullen Park is a beautiful, peaceful, and clean park to spend a day in fun festivities with family. A small picnic for a intimate party or gathering under the gazebo. Nice areas throughout the park to take a nice scroll. The park has pedal boats, train, carousel, etc.

This was a wonderful place!! Everything was amazing especially the parks and the train.We could only wish that the carousel was open.Another thing was that the tickets didn’t expire! The ice cream and food place was good too.I only wished that hadn’t closed at 6:00. Everything else was a blast!! The is a great fun park that we will surely come back!

Wife and I had a great time. First time actually riding the train. Everyone was nice and the train conductor was awesome. Will definitely be back!

A great place, especially for kids! There is so much to do here, all right near downtown Raleigh. The carousel is especially fun. Many events are also hosted here, so keep your eyes peeled. The paddle boats also look like lots of fun, but I have never done them myself.

Was there an hour ago, half the grownups not wearing masks. Didnt feel safe at all so just left the park.

What a fun park to take your children and grandchildren to play! We visited during November so some amusement attractions were not open. But be sure to take a ride on the train!

This is one of the most beautifully planned parks in Raleigh. I always go and have a fantastic time(even during Covid). The park is so well kept, I never feel like its dirty. There are plenty of things to look forward to, even with the amusement rides and the paddle boats being closed. I cant wait to go back again soon! Very relaxing and a great place to go on a walk.

One of Raleigh’s best parks! There is so much to do, especially for children. The train, carousel, and pedal boats are all super fun for the family to enjoy. The park cafe is also a great place to stop to get a bite to eat, but there are also lots of spots for picnicking.

I use to go here all the time when I was a kid and loved to come but the most thing that caught my eyes was how they had carnival rides stuff and train rides and how they had good food their. I was told it was haunted by I dont know Im really curious to know for sure. I sure do miss this place ! Its very beautiful and peaceful and fun !

The park had lots of things for children to do. Since it was an awesome day, the park was crowded. The park could have provided hand sanitizing stations. Some were wearing mask, others werent. But I understand that we were outside. There was not enough room for social distancing. I took my grandkids away from the play area and we had a picnic without a lot of traffic. When others saw us, they chose to maintain safe distancing.

Very disorganized with how they do the train ride now. They make you download an app but they don’t tell you until you have purchased the ticket. No one seems to know how long you wait. The app never texted us like they claimed. There is no rhyme or reason to who goes at what time. They really need to rethink how to get better things organized.

Amazing park to take the family for a fun walk. If you need to ride you will have to fill a quick health survey and temperature check before you purchase tickets.I love that they sell Locopops!

Great fun , lots of things to do. Food was good too. Kids will love it. Train ride. Excellent place for a stroll.

Did you know that Pullen Park is 5th-oldest amusement park in the U.S. and 16th oldest in the world. It is also the first public park in North Carolina. At Pullen Park you can rent a pedal boat, ride a carousel, take a swim, sign up for an art class, see a play, play your favorite sport and more.Unfortunately, all of this is fun things is unavailable due quarantine. But at least its open for a walk. You can enjoy very tasty ice cream. Make a nice picture and just relax with your family or friends. There are a lot of hungry fishes and ducks.

Love coming here. Very relaxing, after all week working.

Beautiful park with ample space for picnics and outdoor get togethers. The playground is large with areas for kids of all ages. The train is a delight for adults and children alike. Parking isnt bad.

Awesome park,love the train and the carousel. Staff are excellent and very nice. Great place to take kids of any age.

We had such a great time. Check out this park on a nice day. There is so much to do, including a train, carousel, walking paths, playground, and more. Great place for a picnic.

Nice place to walk, picnic, etc. Great with or without kids.Be sure you understand the process for getting to ride the train - tickets, long lines, waiting lists. Helpful staff will answer questions. Ask as you enter *before* you get the young ones hopes up. Unfortunately saw some sad, disappointed children.

This park is so great not just for families with small children, but anyone. You can sit under trees, near the water and just relax. They allow you to bring in your own food and beverages even though there is a facility on grounds. Great place to enjoy the day

Very good park. We simply used the train and the kiddy boat ride for our daughter but they are maintained clean. They also check your temperature as a precaution which makes you a little more comfortable.

Very nice place to relax and enjoy nature. You can also get your exercise with a walk or run through this beautiful park. It has a playground for the kids too.

This is a really nice park; most attractions are closed right now because of COVID-19 but the playground and the picnic shelters are open. This is a great place to have a medium sized gathering outdoors, since the picnic tables are covered

Not a bad place to take the kids & family, or by yourself for some quiet time. Lunch time is also a good if you have the time.

Pullen park is a great place to have a picnic and walk around. It was a great spot for a little photo shoot too.

We absolutely love this park. We can spend all day exploring the grounds and playing on the playground, carousel and train.Just a heads up with the covid situation, unfortunately the extra fun stuff is closed.

Nice park very clean! But beware of leaving belongings visible in your vehicles! In one day our vehicle and 3 other vehicles were broken into. This park has no surveillance cameras watching the parking lot area!

Its definitely a nice place with beautiful scenery. Beautiful large pond and bridges for picture taking and having parties, as we saw several today. There is a kiddie boat ride for kids but it is dreadfully slow. The train ride is okay. I think with all the hype, I was expecting more or for it to be larger. I would rather take my familty to the Childrens Museum of Life and Science in Durham. But the prices for the rides are super low! So thats a big win!

Trip for few hours or a day. Trans available for kids to circle the park. Bridge over the water looks awesome.

Great park for young kids, had a picnic and walked around and enjoyed the carousel and train ride! The playground had many different parts for kids of varying ages. Little chilly and it was pretty full i can only imagine how crazy it gets during the summer!

Favorite spot for our family in Raleigh. This park has great activities for kids including a full spread out playground, a carousel, a lake that you can walk around. It also has specialty activities like boat rides, and a train ride. The staff is friendly and they also offer snacks and drinks. This park has great activities for kids including a full spread out playground, a carousel, a lake that you can walk around. It also has specialty activities like boat rides, and a train ride. The staff is friendly and they also offer snacks and drinks at a concession. Will definitely continue to come here.

Really nice place for families. They have rides, boats and trains for kids! Also this park is very close to Raleigh downtown where there’s a lot of good restaurants and cafes. Top choice for parents with kids 3-8 years old. The place will get much more prettier in spring when all flowers bloom.

A wonderful park for kids and adults. Lot of places for kids to play and enjoy

We really enjoyed our time at Pullen Park with our Grandchildren. Its an ideal place to spend time with Children. There are many activities to keep the children engaged. However the Pullen Place was closed and we could not have any eatables during our visit there.

No entrance fee and No parking fee. Place for children to enjoy the great outdoors. The cost to ride train: $1.50 per person

The Park has changed a lot since I went as a little kid. But it’s still as beautiful as ever!! The flowers are blooming, so much open field, even saw a couple taking engagement photos on the bridge near the pond! Such a gorgeous park! Absolutely love it! Great for exercising as well!

So many things to love, regardless of age. Train, playgrounds, carousel, paddle boats, beautiful paths, and great spots for taking pictures!

My daughter loves playing there. I love the atmosphere, I love how clean it is for a public park.

Pullen Park is one of my favorite parks of the city. It has everything one needs to bring the entire family and enjoy of all the different activities that can be done. The train rides, carousels, playgrounds, boat rides (seasonally available) make it suitable for everyone; moreover, the beautiful landscapes of the park are great for taking photos or just taking a break from routine.

Beautiful park that is very well maintained. My family and I will definitely go back.

I highly recommend this place to anyone. Make sure to take your kids there. We saw turtles, ducks, cool status and there is plenty for your kids to do. On a pretty day, make sure to enjoy a picnic.

I really enjoyed going while it was closed for COVID. The park was beautiful and well kept.

Great family friendly park by NC State. Lots of shelters for groups, tennis courts, train, carousel, beautiful water features loaded with fish (no fishing) and great landscaping

I love this place it so beautiful

Beautiful, well kept park! Plenty of room to roam, play, have a picnic and take photos! Playground for tots to about 12 yrs. old. Take your time and relax. Oh and please follow the signs, do not feed the wildlife.

A great place to take the kids for an afternoon and not spend a fortune. Well kept and beautiful scenery.

This place was great, but their covid procedures are asinine. First, you buy tickets for the train, etc., then they check to make sure you dont have a fever (seems a bit backwards). Next, they take down name, phone #, age, and temperature of each person. It takes forever

Very nice place for families.There is a playground, a train, a big carousel and other activities. You also can walk around the lake. My daughter used to bike there. You can also use chelters with grills for birthday parties or just to meet. Hard sometimes to find a place in the parking next to the park if you arrive late youll need to use other spots and walk a little.

Parking is not great on the weekends unless you get here early. May have to park and walk about 3-5 minutes. Park is excellent, lots of shade and places to sit. Kids would stay here all day.

Brought oldest here regularly when lived in Raleigh. Would swing him.

The best place to hang with the kids or with your significant other or to chill with friends.

This is such a cute little park! They have train rides, a carousel, and paddle boats. Reasonable prices. Nice little snack stand as well with refreshments. Definitely worth checking out!

Too crowded which is not advisable during pandemic.bad ticketing system, am in line for tickets and am the 10th person it took 40min to get the tickets.

One of the best parks Ive ever been to. Plenty to see and do (especially once Pandemic is over). Plenty of walking and picnic spots. Will definitely be back and especially once everything opens.

Love this park havent been in awhile but its a great place.

Fun park for family. There are so many things to do: playground, train, paddle boat, carousel and more. There are also a cafe and the restroom in the area. The playground are ideal for both younger and older kids. The only drawback is the parking space is always full on the weekend so either arrive early or try to go during the week day instead.

This is one of those must see places in Raleigh! Tucked nicely by NC States campus and downtown it is a fun place to visit. Plenty of activities including carrousel, train, paddle boats, playground areas and paved walking areas! You can spend an hour or full day, pack a picnic or eat at the outdoor eatery, plenty of options to choose from for all ages! The rides are reasonably priced.

Fun park, my kids (9,7,3) all love going. if it’s a nice day in the weekend it will be really crowded so parking may be tough. Buy tix for the train and other rides. Watch out for the carousel, it’s super fast!

First visit today! Short but oh so perfect! We took a stroll after dinner. My son loved the rope climbing systems, metal twisted climbing monkey bars, swings. The trees are very large I can only imagine give plenty of shade in the hot summer days. We can’t wait to return in a few weeks to see what else’s has bloomed! It’s a nice stroll around the pond. Nothing was open when we arrived, saved me money! Also made my kids enjoy what is free. I wish we had a park like this in Fayetteville.

Beautiful park, great place to take a date, and they have the greatest french fries I have ever had in my life.

Okay...this park is just FLAT OUT WONDERFUL. Its free to park, free to enter, and fun all-around. Rides are only 1.50 each, and the prices for food and drink are more than reasonable. Kids love it, and it can be a relaxing experience for adults as well.We spent an hour laying in the grass on the gazebo island watching the ducks, geese, turtles and fish.

Very clean park. Very family friendly. Beautiful landscapes

Its always one of the best parks to go to while in Raleigh. Over the years I truly love the add-ons and up keep of the park. With the quarantine mess going on, it was still a get away place to go to have beautiful graduation pictures taken, to be with family and friends, and just relax, relate, and release

Hometown cooking. Tasted great. Support local businesses.

Wonderful park here. It’s a pretty area and offers beautiful scenery. Attended a child’s birthday party. At the same time there was another large event going on didn’t detract from our experience at all.The carousel is an indoor one. It was constructed in the early 1900s or so.The train is small and novel.Love the Andy Griffith statue.

Great place to take a walk or have a picnic. Only the cafe was open the day I went. Pretty good food for a little cafe.

Great weather and not too packed on a Sunday morning.

Pullen Park, in its various iterations, has been a mainstay of Raleigh. Worth a visit

Really nice place! Great for kids and families. It was very hot though. The train ride around the park is really pretty.

One of our very favorite parks in the Raleigh area. Ive been coming here for almost 40 years. They have great playground equipment and swings for the whole fam. The snack bar has really gotten better over the years. Make sure to buy some tickets for the train and the classic carousel, the same one I rode as a boy. Theres lots of room to spread out and some really nice picnic spots. The paddle boats are fun if its not too hot, but make sure you pack the sunscreen. They also have a little gift shop and reading area if you want to take a little break from playing. I highly recommend it, but be aware that it can get pretty crowded on nice days, so you may want to get there early.

My toddler thoroughly enjoyed the Chriscraft motor boat carousel.

It is a great place to take younger children. My grandson loved the boats, miniature train, carousel and playground. He had never been on a carousel so didnt know what to expect, but he loved riding the horse that moved. Topped it off with a popsicle for good behavior. The park is always clean and a great family place to take a picnic lunch. Parking is available.

Beautiful spots for engagement photos throughout the park with the tree line, bridges, water overlook, pond, steps to the florals.

When here on December 27th 2019, it was very nice and cool weather. Took the train ride with my mom and wife then walked around. Beautiful park to get away from the city life.

A very nice place to visit. Its a small park, but really a cool place for parents to take their children, or for parents to take their children. I was informed that during the summer, theyre many picnics and concerts in that park, so I cant wait to visit during that time. The outdoor train was a really cool thing for kids. The Merry Go Round was especially nice as well. I cant wait to go back.

This is the cutest park! My 5 yr old twins had the best time! The train ride was awesome and the carousel was beautiful! Will definitely return when back in Raleigh.

Pullen park a good place for bring children , for family and friend gathering.

Great park, havent been here since it was rebuilt. Raleigh Parks and Rec have done a fantastic job. I loved it, my kids loved it, and well have to come back soon!

Nice beautiful park alot of activity and fun stuff for kids and adults.

We went for the Christmas Polar Express event to the ride the train and the carousel. Parking can be difficult and tight but its available. The park is fully decorated with lights and displays all over the place particularly the carousel and trade rides are great things for the kids to do. There are limited stands for snacks and drinks. A most enjoyable funtime for the family!

This place is awesome. Even though the train and paddle boats arent available its still a great place to take the kids for an afternoon

Tons of stuff to do. Great place even when it’s crowded it’s not overwhelming

Great park with a train, impressive antique carousel, paddle boats, and beautifully manicured grounds. There was also a restaurant and several large picnic shelters available. I was very impressed with the price - free to get into the park and only $1.50 per attraction. There was a balloon animal guy there when we went also which my daughter loved. A great way to spend a day with family.

It was great there were a ton of things to do and a lot of beautiful scenery.

Great Park! You can hire a boat for sailing on the lake, the hystoric carroussel (really old school!), the train, you can feed the fish. My kiddo was 5 the first time we visited and he had a lot of fun. Go with your family and spend there quality time,

Love this place. Went on a train ride with my family of 4 and only paid $6 total. Beautiful scenery and nature paths. Great for kids.

Always fun. Clean bathrooms, good snack bar and fun activities for the kids. Today the train broke down and we ended up having to walk up the track back to the park. It was EPIC!

Water was so dirty you could literally smell itAnd social distancing isnt a thing there. But had a nice little walk I guess.

I often will come here for my birthday which is the first day of summer (June 21st). I love it because it’s always a fun time to experience with my girls with so much plants, flowers, trees and a beautiful lake... The train is adorable and the parks accomodate children of various ages. I wish there was a Pullen Park in Fayetteville, Nc. I have to travel a bit to go here, but it’s always worth it

We love this park. It has so much for kids to do, but be aware that on really nice weather weekend days you can spend 30 minutes trying to get parking because it will be packed. If you know you will come more than once always buy lots of train tickets so you don’t have to stand in line each time.

No matter how young or old you are there are things you can do to enjoy Pullen Park! Even when you are an adult... ride the train or use the paddle boats... take a few minutes away from the stress of everyday life.

Awesome park, been going here for years!!!

This place is nice, We had a really greatime time with my family

Beautiful place with lots of fun things to do -- walking trails, playground, train ride, merry-go-round, paddle boats, and more. Some of it costs a little bit of money, but a lot can be enjoyed for free. Also, the food is surprisingly good and fairly priced.

Beautiful park to spend the day with family.

Had a great time... Staff was very clean and friendly

Great place for families and social distancing with friends. I am a big fan and will be back!

Pullen park is a long standing tradition in the Raleigh area. There is no charge for the playground areas and tickets for the train ride and carousel are reasonable and our 2 and 6 year old loved both. There are a generous number of parking spots and a food vendor on site. My wife grew up visiting the park and we were happy to bring our children there as well. The pyramid shape rope climbing installation was a favorite of our older child and the younger one loved playing in the sand. Plan accordingly for cleaning up after sand play..

Incredible place for kids special for the train ride.
