Miniature Railroad Train Rides – Costa Mesa

Goathill Junction Railroad offers public Run Weekends on the 3rd full weekend of each month, with continuous train rides from 10:00 AM–3:30 PM (weather permitting). No reservations required. Train rides are free with donations encouraged to support the nonprofit railroad. Each ride is a 12–15 minute loop through Fairview Nature Park, departing from and returning to Goathill Junction station, which includes restrooms, a gift shop, and picnic seating. Riders must be at least 31 inches tall and able to walk. The railroad is closed to the general public on non-run weekends due to maintenance and private events. Special seasonal events, including the North Pole Express in December, are offered on select dates.
