This place has quickly become a great Scottsdale landmark. The McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park lets kids have so much fun while bringing adults back to their childhood. There is a large train that will take you on a 1-mile train ride through the park. In addition, there is a carousal for the kids (and adults). Each of these is very inexpensive at $1 per ride. Make a day out of it and take a picnic lunch, enjoy the outdoors, and eat at one of the picnic benches. Then let your kids play on one of the playgrounds. For adults, there is a railroad museum with miniature railroads and history. Here is a list of all the attractions McCormick-Stillman Park has:
Two Navajo hogans
Xeriscape arboretum
Charros Carousal
Paradise & Pacific Railroad
Merci Train
Picnic area
Playgrounds
In the winter, McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park decorates itself in lights. All along the train route you can view lights and holiday displays. A must-see, they have great holiday spirit. Santa is also there for the children to visit!
