Forest Park Miniature Trains

CORRECT ADDRESS: 1700 Colonial Parkway

My 2 year old loves this train! The train comes approx. every hour.
They can close up if it gets too hot (100 degrees or more, or super cold/​bad weather) you can call of you are unsure. Their website also provides the times/​days they are open, seems to change every season.
Even on hot days when the train is moving you usually get a nice breeze, you go over bridges and can count turtles in the eater, under bridges, through parks and wave at the people and bicyclists.
It stops about halfway through and you can grab a drink, snacks or ice cream, they only stop for about 5 minutes though.
DO NOT hold up the train, a lady was halfway in a train car waiting for the rest of her family and got yelled at in front of everyone by the conductor. They have a schedule to keep, be considerate!

Good little train ride. Coming in at $ 4 a person and a relaxing ride. Watch out if you are heavy set… You may not fit! Or if you are elderly or handicap, you may not be able to step up into the train car. Best for kids

What a great way to spend a beautiful day with the family, at such an affordable price! Be sure to count the turtles you see along the way :)

It was a great ride! It got a little long for our toddler but only because the short attention span. Overall it was a really great cheap thing to do. Then in the same place there is a big playground and a duck pond. Loved the whole thing. Must be prepared with cash though, so stop at the ATM.

This train ride is awesome. Our kids love it and it’s good, cheap entertainment. They run two trains when it’s busy so you never have to wait very long. The train stops at a cute little depot inside the park where tasty popcorn and cold sodas can be bought for a nominal price.

This is Fort Worth’s best kept secret for places to take young children!
We just took our granddaughter on this train and found the 45 minute ride quite enjoyable and she loved it. You cannot beat the price either as three adults and the little one rode for just $ 15.50!
Put this place on your list, I know we will go back even without our granddaughter.

What a surprisingly fun and pleasant experience. We arrived and fortunately had done the research that they take cash only. We only had to wait 15 minutes for the next train and there was plenty of shade to wait in. Once it arrived, the boarding process was first come first serve and we had not problems getting a good seat.
The train takes off toward Trinity Park going over the river and then under the freeway. The route has some cools sights that you would not normally see. We turned around near the Duck Pond and then stopped at a stop for about 10 minutes where people could buy food, etc. After that, we passed where we boarded the train and turned around almost near University so that the train could be facing the right way for the next ride.
The kids loved it! The parking lot was dusty and gravel but that is about my only complaint.

This is so fun to take kiddos to. It’s about 45 minutes long which is great. First train runs at 11am and then every hour after that last train runs at 5pm. Cash only!!! You can board the train at the zoo location or at the park location but you can only purchase tickets at zoo location. Ages 1 – 12 is $ 3.50 adults $ 4.

I can’t believe no one has left a review for this before.
To start: CASH ONLY! $ 4.50 per adult and $ 3.50 for a kid.
We have done this train ride close to 50 times the past 5 years. It is a great ride for the kids while also relaxing for adults. The ride itself is about 45 minutes. Trains run every 30 minutes. If a train is down for repair, then it runs every 50 minutes.
This train starts right before the Fort Worth Zoo The entrance and you’ll see it on your left hand side when driving in. The directions on Unilocal take you to the middle of Trinity Park. You can also get on at this location and do a round trip; however, parking usually sucks because the park is very busy.
Getting on at the zoo takes you all the way to the end of Trinity Park then you loop around to the middle of the park and take a 5 minute break. Popcorn, water, and soda is sold here. All cash. All $ 1.50 each. You then head back to the beginning of the zoo.
You’ll see the pillar art that is under the bridges. You’ll see many turtles as well. We also saw a beaver in the water yesterday. Nice and relaxing trip.
This place has been family owned for 40+ years I believe. It is a great place to take the kids on a nice day!
