News & Announcements!

 

 

 

Starting January 1 2026, train departure times will change to :20 after and :40 after each hour. Reserved train rides (both Partial or Full trains) will run at :00 with a chance for ticketed riders to take the :00 train during Partial Train reserved rides.

 

Also, since our new train has a 225% increase in capacity over our original train (now 58 maximum riders), prices for reserved rides had to be increased to reflect the actual capacity of the new train (see Parties page for rates). And for those who wish to reserve a train ride but don't need the full train, we now offer a Partial Train reservable ride of 2 coaches for a maximum of 42 riders.

 

 

 

 

 

If you're new to the area and just found us then come on out and check out our new railroad! We've been operating train rides for families here since 2004 and we've just completed a total overhaul of the Shady Oak Junction and the Cedar Rock Railroad train to have more things to do and have a larger, more comfortable train ride through the natural Texas setting of the park. There are still a few little things here and there to finalize so come on out and enjoy a ride, have your party in the Junction, and look forward to more things to come.

 

We're doing our best to build a better experience for all of the wonderful familes that come out to enjoy our little venue. We want you to keep having fun, creating memories, coming back, and telling all your friends what fun there is right here in The Best Backyard in Texas!
