The train ride is a great place to visit! It's not too much ($), the kids love it. I enjoy the sceanery! it's a win win for the hole family!

What can I say? It's a train. My son is obsessed with them. It makes a great Sunday activity with Dad. And my parents took me there when I was a little girl.

If you have a train lover this is a magical spot. It is not in Orinda though it is in the Berkeley Hills.

Great adventure for kids and adults alike! Kids love going for a ride on the train. Tunnel can be a little scary because its dark, but generally kids enjoy it. Fun to have a picnic afterward and go on to the other tilden activities. Great on the weekdays because it's not too crowded.
