Sonoma TrainTown Railroad: Sonoma
Sonoma, a county in Northern California known for its bucolic charms and array of wineries, could also be described as Napa's rustic, less-refined and more-relaxed sister. Its rolling hills, which rise into the Sonoma Mountains and descend to the Pacific shore, also contain a cache of small cities that are worth a visit: Try Santa Rosa for an urban escape, complete with museums and buzzy restaurants, but pop by Glen Ellen for a slice of small-town Americana
A "10-acre ornate table top railroad, which is outside and rideable," as Sonoma TrainTown Railroad's creator once put it, sums up what has been luring railway lovers and families to this park for more than 50 years. This vibrant theme park in Sonoma offers 20-minute journeys on a quarter-scale train to see a miniature hamlet and a petting zoo in addition to rides with a railroad theme like the High Iron Ferris wheel and Iron Horse Carousel.
The Lodge at Sonoma Renaissance Resort & Spa and MacArthur Place are upscale lodging alternatives that are both less than half a mile away. Staying here will allow you time to explore the region's renowned vineyards once you've finished riding TrainTown's tracks.
