Roaring Camp offers a fun and memorable experience centered on its scenic train rides. The highlight is the narrated train ride through the beautiful redwoods, which is fantastic, stunning, and amazing. The conductor provides an excellent, informative, funny, and interesting talk about the redwoods and the area's history. There is also a longer steam train ride down to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, which is an unforgettable and scenic adventure.
The site has a great ambiance and is a beautiful spot with ample parking. Available amenities include food, shopping, restrooms, water, and beer. Activities include a great nature walk, gold panning, a blacksmith demo, and fun activities for kids. The location also hosts special events like music festivals and Pug-o-Ween, which are hilarious and fun. The staff and customer service are incredibly friendly, helpful, and great. It is a cool experience for everyone, highly recommended for a visit.
Absolutely beautiful, well organized dinner when arriving there with the teain, absolute value for money -- but bring a jacket for the train ride home

Fun experience riding a real steam through the redwoods! Conductor was very knowledgeable and fun. Gift shop a little pricey, but I bought a hat for $20.
