The new Eagle miniature train is clean and beautiful. I am very old and still enjoy the opportunity to ride around Zilker park on that train.

I am glad I got to take my kids on the Zilker Zephyr. But, if you re reading this thinking if you should go, something went wrong, because I read the news article when they announced they were shutting down for good.

Once we finally got on the train, it was fun! Great for the kiddos, and relaxing for the parents. Make sure you get to the train at least 10 minutes before it s supposed to leave, though! We got to ours right at the time and they had filled up the seats even though we bought tickets. They let us get on the next one, so it was all good. Fun stuff!

Good time for the toddlers. Parents cant help but love watching their kids enjoy it. Starts on south side of zilker near the pool and travels under barton springs over to the north side of the park. It makes a small loop and backtracks on the same tracks back to the start. Just before you finish you travel through under the playground and through 1 more tunnel. Plan to see a line most days. We got in line at 11am for the 12 o clock train. Adults are $4, kids are $3, & under 2 are free (must ride on adults lap). I did catch a guy taking pictures of the kids in line. I confronted him and he immediately split. I included his picture for everyones saftey. He is the white haired guy in the green shirt. I told the people running the train. They said , he is harmless and just says weird things. I disagree. He was touching kids hats that he didnt know and was getting in their personal space. I was also told that if you see a man on a bike acting specious. Let them know about him ASAP.

Very nice place to spend with family. Enjoy and recreate. Very good place where families come and bring their children to walk, play, bathe and ride the train. We had a great time with my family. It was a very nice experience. I will recommend them to you. I hope it goes well for you. Recommended to everyone!

We love coming here with our children. The miniature train is awesome (and inexpensive), there s a playground next to it, you can go for a walk / splash in the river and there s a food truck to buy lunch. Barton creek pool is paid, but if you re just looking to get wet, you can splash for free in the river. Just accept before you go that parking can be complicated - to me it s always worth the joy of being at the park!

The train is a lot of fun. Cool views of downtown and Zilker Park. There is certainly a lot for both adults and kids to do. The train is extremely affordable and well worth the money spent for the smiles provided for the kiddos. Not sure how fun it would be in the summer heat as the train cars are not covered, but fall is perfect.
