All Aboard for Scottsdale’s Train Lover’s Paradise 🚂🎡
If you love trains—miniature, historic, or the real deal—Scottsdale’s McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park and its neighboring attractions deliver a family-friendly adventure packed with nostalgia, giggles, and top Insta moments.
Start your railway journey at the Model Railroad Building, where intricate miniature landscapes spark big imaginations! Head over to the Scottsdale Railroad Museum for a hands-on look at history—your kids will love the interactive displays (don’t miss the close-up panel featuring vintage train snapshots from 1907–1920, perfect for detail-rich photos). Then, let loose at the playground by Stillman Station before hopping on the park’s iconic train ride—watch for the shaded areas while queuing, especially midday.
Photo ops are everywhere: snap the gleaming locomotives at golden hour, get a shot of your group aboard the train, and capture those fun-fueled playground moments. For that up-close historic look, position your camera low near the display panel for crisp details and story-rich visuals.
Insider Tips:
• Arrive early (before 11 AM) to beat the crowds and Arizona heat—shade is limited!
• Hydrate often, bring sunscreen, and hats for little ones (playground is mostly outdoors).
• The train ride is gentle but hold on to your belongings, especially cameras.
• Museum welcomes curious little hands, but stay mindful of posted rules near preserved displays.
• Parking is free and plentiful but can fill quickly on weekends.
