Ive lived in Phoenix for 12 years and had no idea this place existed. Even though its different with masks and social distancing this is still an absolute great time (especially with young ones 3-8 years old or so). There is a ton of grass park space, picnic benches and even some pavilions to have a picnic at or get family and friends together.The train ride was well worth the $3 per person as it wraps around the scenic campus complete with a tunnel and bridges.There are multiple covered playgrounds suitable for multiple age ranges (even a misting pit.

Took my 6 year old son here for the 1st time! What a great Park. We had so much fun! Several play areas for different age groups. Took a 10 min train ride around the park too. Cost for train ride only $3 per person or can buy a West band unlimited rides for entire visit. There is also a nice Carousel price is the same as train ride. We will definitely be visiting again. Oh yeah! There is a nice gift shop too and the cashier that helped us was a very nice and informative young lady.

This is one of our favorite parks...there is a carousel, a great train ride around the entire park, 2 playgrounds, tons of grass to run around or have a picnic in, a museum with a tour through real train cars, and an amazing building dedicated to model trains with themed sections, touch-activated attractions, and awesome additions for the holidays. The park is always beautifully maintained and well run. We didnt make it last year but are excited to see the holiday lights this Christmas as we have heard they are amazing. This is an excellent place to spend the afternoon with your kids.

Great place to spend time with the young ones. Train rides, Carousel, playground & lots of interesting things to look at. I only wish the model train exhibit and museum were open.

Christmas lights were awesome i highly recommend this for family to see the Christmas lights. Everyone had their masks on. Well done staff

I took my grandson to this park. He had so much fun on the train. Its really a great thing to watch hos face light up with excitement every time the train came back around. I highly recommend this park as a great local family get away.

Great place for young children. My son enjoyed the train ride and carousel. Theres a lot of open areas for kids to run and burn off energy. We enjoyed our visit.

Oh man!! A $10 wrist band gets you everything for all day long. Excellent shade throughout the entire property. The playground is covered so it doesnt burn the kids. We will definitely be coming back. And the gift shop is reasonably priced. Got a hat for a few bucks and a.c. train whistle even cheaper. :)

Just as good as when I was kid - but even better! A great place for a playdate, with huge play structures, mister water feature, old town area, and, of course, the train. Cute little gift shop as well. Lots of places for kids of all ages to be entertained. With plenty of parking, its going on my regular list!

My 5 year old grandson and I LOVED it! The train ride was fun. The park was clean, spacious and there was lots of shade. The playground was excellent. The lunch was reasonably priced. We recommend this park!

Super fun place to take kids. They always take great care of the grass and play areas. The playgrounds are covered so its not too hot even in the summer. The train of course is fun and runs pretty often. Same with the carousel. Lots to explore and fun to have parties in one of their many ramadas.

Fantastic spot to get a few pictures an enjoy the morning. Will definitely need to go back soon.

Great place to have a company picnic in and have a great time riding the AWESOME train...they even accepted tickets from... 50 YEARS AGO! great ice cream served by Stephanie Venetis!

I really love this Railroad. This railroad is so nice because It heaves a lot of things the youngsters will enjoy. They have a train that will go around some of the park. They also have a carousel, and model trains. Inside they also have a big room that has electric mini trains going around. This place is a very good way to learn about trains and have fun.

Been going to this park for over 20 years, great place to take your kids and they just love the train rides. They are always improving the park and bathrooms are usually kept clean.

I go to this really fun place every year and eat with my Ahepa group and I always make sure that I ride the train... its always lots of fun! Great times with friends!

Plenty of picnic tables and play areas for the kids. My daughter thought the train ride was worth the trip alone.

We went to the park to ride the Holiday train. The train ride was very magical and the lights were very festive. There are characters that you can take pictures with. I would recommend that you get there early. We splurged and got the fast passes, which I highly recommend. We got there at 5pm and waited 20 minutes for our tickets and 10 minutes for the train. They only have 2 cashiers for tickets to get on the rides. Which they need more cashiers as when we left the park at 7:15 pm the line was an hour long just to get the tickets. The line for the train was over two hours, so your entire wait would be THREE hours, not worth a three hour wait in my opinion.

Lovely park ! Grandmas can ride the train and walk to easy park path.

I found the last phone booth known to man!!! This was amazing me and my kids loved it. I made them take the train ride even though their teenagers...it was amazing looking back on history and actually having a train we can walk through and understand how far we have come through technology. You must go with your family and you can even have birthday parties there for your little ones. We had fun and it was a beautiful day. They also do holiday events that you make like as well.

Amazingly large mini train ride park. The conductor was very friendly. There are even a couple bridges on the track. They have a decent playground and a few spots to picnick too.

I came here in high school when the land was donated to the City of Scottsdale and saw the plans for the park. Scottsdale lived up to their commitment by building an amazing park packed with fun and history. Originally the miniature trains were in the farmhouse, they now have a beautiful large building in the back of the park. Scottsdale has added the history of the Merci Train from France after WWII and has a car from that train. The play ground is large and covered. There are several sets of restroom on site and there are snack areas to purchase food and drinks. There are small scale trains to ride on and there are plenty of full size cars and a locomotive to keep every train enthusiast happy! There is also a museum and items for sale. This is a wheelchair friendly park!

Beautiful, beautiful park. We were there for a birthday party and were also treated to a train ride...SO MUCH FUN!. I especially loved the miniature trains and touching the various areas around the displays to see the trains move around. Huge kudos to the guys who keep those exhibits running. Overall it was such a fun experience and we will for sure be returning here again for another great experience!

We had such a great time in Columbus Day. The park was super uncrowded. The park is so clean. Ive enjoyed this park when I was a little girl and I am so glas my kide can now enjoy it. They had very clean restrooms and a nice refillable water station.

Loved the train ride! The park was beautiful! Kids enjoyed themselves!

Our annual Christmas Train ride- each year we all gather all together as a family and enjoy this beautiful place. During Christmas they have the best family lights. I would absolutely recommend to check it out in youre in the valley during Christmas or even during the year there is fun to be had. Train rides, carousel rides, playgrounds, hot chocolate, food, model trains and so much more. My kids and I have been enjoying this park for 18+ years.

It was fun a nice family day. They had the train ride open the museums are closed but Ill be back to see them when they open back up

My kids love this place. Trains are awesome and the playground has lots of slides and monkey bars

Fun place to go and see all sorts of trains. Theres four model train clubs with layouts you can see for free and even a couple of full-sized Pullman passenger cars as part of the small railroad museum there. Train rides are also available on live steamers and slight larger than live steamer-sized trains. Good place for all ages.

Nice park but basically super spreader central right now. So many parents without masks, letting 10-12 year old children without masks, running around. Pregnant women, old people etc. Stay away if youre high risk.

Nothing but good things to say about this place. It is a go to if you want ro ride a mini railroad train with children or just with adults as the case may be. Railroad aside. There is a museum, snack bar, and a few very cool playground areas. I visited this most recent time with my 8 year old and she loved the train and the carousel. Because it was summer the museum and snack bar were closed but I believe they reopen when things cool off.

Super fun park in Scottsdale. Great place to take a grandchild for a few hours of happy time. Take a sweet train ride around the park. Then do the carousel for more fun. Nice little snack shop for ice cream.Best part is the interactive train museum .. what a treat! So well done, I could spend hours discover more scenes . Volunteer on hand to explain the various engines etc.

Grandson loved it! Riding a scale model train is probably the highlight of his year! Wish the model exhibit and museum was open.

This is a great place for families. Always clean considering mostly everything is outdoors. I would recommend

I didnt even know this existed! Fantastic park filled with rich local history. Great little rides for kids and families, also a great place to learn about trains and the local impacts.

Good place for the kids to come to play and have fun in the playground or riding the train.

Beautiful park. Recommend for people who can go into public without imposing their dysfunctions on others.

My 2 & 4 year old loved this park. We rode the bigger train and the smaller model trains and they loved it. We even enjoyed the model train museum, which is free and they could make Money on. We also rode the merry-go-round. And lastly they enjoyed the huge play ground on the side of the part while we sat and relaxed in the perfect Scottsdale weather.

Great little park! Lots to do considering much was closed and we didnt get around to everything. Any amazing playground! And of course the train ride was very cool!

This railroad park is fantastic. You can pay $3 and ride the train around the park. There are a lot of old rail cars throughout the park with information placks. The gift shop has a good selection of souvenirs that are affordable. Great place for kids of all ages and families.

Great park. First time there. We loved it. Road the train, played at playground and celebrated a birthday. Kids has a blast.

I had so much fun! It brought the kid out of me. There ice was so good and I really enjoyed looking at the different types of trains

Great place for the whole family! They have a museum there dedicated to railroads and a lot of different boxcars and cabooses and other things dealing with trains. One of the boxcars came all the way from France!I didnt go into the museum this time around since I had my granddaughter with me and being that shes only 2 and 1/2, she wouldnt have been as interested. So instead we went to the two different playgrounds on the grounds: the one which is appropriate for children under 5 is a replica of an old Western town complete what a Wells Fargo stagecoach! The other playground is designed for kids over age 5 up to 12 years of age. It is more of a conventional playground. However in addition to the standard traditional playground equipment there, they have more modern additions like rock climbing and a zipline!The park has a train you can actually ride on as well as a 1950s style carousel. The rides are reasonably priced. However the concession stand is a little expensive. There is plenty of areas for a nice picnic. The park is also with walking distance of a variety of restaurants.

Most of park was beautiful and well kept only issue was the multiple muddy sinkholes they had across all the grass areas. Of course my 1 yr old daughter fell right into one and was covered in mud and water which cut the day short needless to say.

Nice cozy park with a lotd of fun activities to do. There is also a snack shop.

This is airways a great place for the kids and Christmas time they love the lights

It has been a pleasure to grow with this park. I remember playing there as a kid and being so excited to ride the train and now 20 years later, Im taking my children to this park. Updated but still wholesome. We love this place. Concerts in the summers are awesome.

This park is a family favorite. We come to this park year round and always have to get a train and carousel ride in with every visit.The covered play are for the kids is pretty big and well kept as well as the wild wild west play area.The miniature trains are always fun to watch and a big hit with the kids because they can touch the glass and make the trains move.Weve done pictures with Santa twice at the park and were very happy with the memories made.We even had one of boys birthday party in the park and the staff was great and everyone had a pretty good time.It can get crowded during the Christmas season but all the lights set up its truly worth it. Pro tip: If you dont like crowds, swing by the week after Christmas.Food is available, affordable and good in general. Staff is generally friendly and kind. Would recommend for families.

This is a very nice park. Plenty to enjoy for free. It’s only about a mile from my house and my 2.5 year old loves it. The concession prices and rides are very reasonable. The facilities are clean the playground is great. Highly recommend if you’re in Scottsdale with a child. The train ride and carousel are very well run and inexpensive. Recommend the $10 bracelet if you want to do multiple rides.

Fun day at the park with the grandkids. We had fun riding the train.

One of the best parks in Arizona! With Presidential train, model trains museums to train and carousel ride all seasons long, and live music in the evening during summer months; as well as Christmas light special train ride at the end of the year. This park really is a wonderful place for all ages to spend some great family time inexpensively.

Lots of room to walk around with my pups, train park with trains and lil one for the kiddos. Definetly a kid zone stop!

Highly recommended for all ages! Beautiful park, and awesome trains. The train museum is a must to walk through. The kids loved the train ride. A must visit! Perfect for parties too!

Im like this place in the personal I think that you can make a better difference in the sanitizer all restrooms but I go to see the lights and my surprise is no estart now, start in November but my family is so happy tanks scottsdale city

This is a great place to bring kids. Pet-friendly. The model train club has a fun display in one of the buildings. A cool play area that looks like a pueblo and more jungle gyms. A triple slide! Ive never seen that before. The gyms are for kids younger than 12. Part of the park was blocked off for the Holiday Lights train for Christmas. We will return after Christmas to ride the train and enjoy the lights.

We absolutely love this park! With the train ride, carousel, playground and train museum, there’s no end of fun to be had here We celebrated our oldest son’s second birthday here, as well as our youngest’s first birthday. They could ride the train all day long and still want more... If you live anywhere near this park and have kids, it’s worth considering getting the annual pass/membership so you can enjoy unlimited rides

Very neat park for all ages. We paid $2 for the tour of the railroad cars. Didnt know that the last car had been used by two presidents during their whistlestop campaigning. Also was used in the 40s when FDR and the Canadian Minister did a handshake deal to start NORAD.

We have made many long treks to this kiddo favorite. The park is well-maintained and the prices for the carousel and the train ride are very reasonable.

What a fun place to go I have never been anywhere like this, they has 2 train rides one big and one small. A beautiful train museum for you to go through, they had a courosel, play area, and 2 different places to get snacks and the model train exhibit was amazing. I will definitely be back

Best place ever to take your kids!! Not too expensive either! Carousel and train tickets were $2. Try the ice cream too, so yummy. Playgrounds are covered and mostly in the shade. There are water misters on the playground so be prepared with a towel or extra set of clothes. Great picnic areas too. Best family outing ever!

What a gem to have in our city. A place every child should frequent. Its a great park, has fun toys, wide open grassy areas, fun for all ages. I like that you can buy a pass or just individual tickets. The mini museum is always neat, again for all ages. Perfect birthday spot. I havent been to any concerts but its on my to do list

Outstanding venue for a kids birthday party! We had a railroad car reserved for games, cake, and ice cream. The hosts were great with the kids, and all we had to bring was the cake. All activities were jammed into 90 minutes of fun, and the adults all had a great time too. The train ride lasted about 5 minutes, and the carousel ride was about 3 minutes. The kids loved it!We brought presents and beverages, but we didnt really need the beverages, and opening presents unfortunately cut into the game time. Despite that, it was a great time and a good value for a quick Saturday morning party. Thanks to everyone at the park!

The tunnel thats a part of the train is awesome.. never been on the steam trains yet..Mary-go-round is a little bit to fast though and seems to only go for like 4 or less minutes...but overall love the park

Great place, kids loved it!!!!! Lots of things to do and play. Good for an hour or all day.

We went during Christmas. It was all lit up with wonderful decorations and lights. The track was also well decorated and lit up with the transsiberian music. There was, however, a long line of people trying to get their tickets for the train ride. There was only one person on the registers.

We love going to see the miniature trains, ride the big train, and the carousel. The park is so fun for the kids to play on and there is tons of grass space to run around. It does get crowded because its such a popular park for families. Go early and enjoy!

My son loves riding the trains

This park is wonderful! We spent easily half an hour in the model railroad exhibit. The carousel ride and train ride were awesome and far longer than expected. Admission price is free but its $2 per ride per person, which is beyond reasonable. They even have playgrounds for your little ones. Hands down our top 5 experiences in and around Phoenix this trip.

It closes early in August so we didnt get to ride the train or carousel but the park was spacious and lots of playground for kids.

Great park- bummer that the miniature train museum was closed though.

The model layout of trains can take over two hours if you look at every detail.The steamer trains are a community sense of pride.The carousel is a classic and I cantvthink of anything else that would make this even better....except for how extravagant they set even more for the holidays.Nobody should miss their holiday light show.BRILIANT JOB CITY OF SCOTTSDALE!!!

This was a very beautiful evening to visit before Christmas. The music, decorations, lights and train rides were so much fun! What an experience to learn about trains and some history in the huge interactive showroom. The park is incredibly maintained and well worth a visit especially at Christmas but, anytime throughout the year!

Today is May the fourth and it was star wars all around. great time on the train

This is was so much fun. My 11 year old Austic dughter had a big smiles on her face for two hours. My 15 year old son didnt want to go and he enjoyed hisself.

Wonderful park! Love all the train stuff! The train ride and the carousel were both fun! Definitely look forward to visiting again!

Kids love this places. Model trains that have an interactive buttons, huge park thats covered. Smaller park with no cover. Train riders and carousel 3$ a ride. Kids 2 and under are free.

Th McCormick Stillman railroad is great for all ages. We took our 2 year old and enjoyed the train ride and carousel for a few dollars. Its free to go in and you only pay for what you do. The museum was very informative and fun for adults as you get quite the learning experience about trains. Our son absolutely loved the model train next to museum. He ran around making the trains go for about an hour. Afterwards, we all enjoyed ice cream at the snack bar.

Really cute park for kids

Always a good time and an inexpensive way to spend a day with the kids. Miniature train rides are always exciting for the kids and tickets are only $3 per person for one ride. Geared more for children ages 12 and under.

Loads of fun! They have 2 railroads you can ride, a normal sized kids one and a mini one with real steam engines, and the tracks are looong! They also have a full size presidential car, a carousel, a playground, and lots of space for a picnic. Oh, tland the in-door toy train set ups is magnificent and huge!

A great little park in Scottsdale with a miniature railroad that runs through the entire park. A fun way to spend and afternoon

Its a clean and great park to visit, bbq, parties, etc. Theres kids playgrounds, public restrooms, train with many people can ride in the sametime. Also many things to do at this park!

Take my kids here all the time. My mom would take my brother and I here when we were my kids age. Its always a good environment. Great place for bday parties. Lots of fun things for the kids.

Loved it.. Took my family to get out for a bit. My daughter had a blast. Not to crowded..

I liked this open space. For a good camp day.

Nice and peaceful park. Alot to see and toys for the kids have some fun.

Love this place! Great for their concerts! Love it.Great for families...please bring your kids. Wonderful park...lots to do!

Great place for kids and almost everything is free. We visited almost every other day while in town after my son visited the first time.Playground for kids, train rides and a working electric train center that is filled with staff and hundreds of trains.

Fun park- a little something for all ages. Many free options, the things to do that cost money are very reasonable- even for a family of 5 on a tight budget. This park is about an hour away from my house, but anytime we are in Scottsdale, we make this park a part of out trip. Their Christmas event is great too. If you like trains or have kids, put this park on your to-do list. Also, fans of the Family Circus comic should stop in as well- there is a Family Circus statue here and I believe a small museum as well.

Great Park for family fun. The train ride is really cool during the day. And the nights during the holiday season, the Christmas lights spectacle on the train ride is really cool. The decorations are extremely detailed and very well done. That tunnel that you go through where you are surrounded with thousands of Christmas lights that change sequence in the way they flash, thats really interesting. It almost looks like youre going through a Time Warp tunnel from Star Trek or something like that.

We have really fun picnics here! Mini train rides and big carousel for the kids

Fun park! My daughter loved it.

This is the first time that I go to this park and I love it, a perfect place to do a party with a train theme, they have bagons to make parties, the scale trains was one of my favorite parts, how they are so talent to build mini cities, mountains, roads, etc.. The ride around the park in the little train help us to see all the park which every single detail is focus in the train theme.. Unfortunately the museum is closed, I hope I can go back once it is open because I would love to see what they have in there... The park is free, and to go to see their expositions its free too, rides only $2, the food and souvenirs at good prices too..

My kids favorite park! Weve hosted a birthday party in the train car last year. We love the train museum, the holiday light during Christmas time, and of course the train is the highlight of the park

Very clean and well maintenanced. Playground very large. Main area is free. Museum, train ride and carousel costs a small fee. Great picnic area. Lots of parking. Easy to find.

The McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale is a fun for the whole family. You dont have to have little children to enjoy a day here, my teens had a blast. Train rides, carousel, the model railroad and the museum are all great attractions. There is a playground, park events, ramadas you can rent. All day wristbands are only $10 or you can buy tickets. Its a great place to spend the day without breaking the bank!

Even though were grown ups, we rode the train around the park when we first arrived to get a feel for the park--worth $2 each. Overall, its a great green space for kids to play with a few reasonably priced special activities and snacks. Model train and historical museums were the right size for a park visit. If think City Park with bonus train-themed activities, you wont be disappointed spending a couple hours here.

Such a beautiful park. 5 star

I love this park! I have been coming here since I was in kindergarten. My elementary school planned many field trips to this park for events like Halloween for trick or treating festivities, Easter for egg hunts, and a few other random events. It was always so much fun and I have the best memories here. Now, I brought my ten month old daughter here for her first visit and she loved it! I put her on the swings, which is awesome because they have the bucket swings for babies to safely sit in. She also loved when I held her and let her go down the slides. And then there was the merry go round which she went nuts for. I loved seeing her do all the same things I got to do as a kid. And of course, we went on the train and they had some fun Halloween decorations set up all around. They did a really great job of making it all feel festive and great for kids. She wont remember the visit, obviously, but I took lots of great pictures so she can look back on them one day and I will definitely be bringing here here for many future events. I think anybody with kids would have a great time here. Their gift shop is super cute, too, and they have fun little train key chains and train sets and little t shirts and other memorabilia for people to enjoy.

Had a fantastic time.
