A 20-minute miniature train ride through tunnels and over bridges, with a mid-way stop at a tiny town to feed the goats; plus a toddler-sized Ferris wheel and little planes — heaven for train-obsessed kids.

💡 Tips
Train tickets and rides are sold separately; pair it with lunch on the Sonoma Plaza; it gets hot in summer, so go in the morning.
