All aboard in Scottsdale: the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park is a 30-acre love letter to trains, where families ride a real miniature railway around the park, hop a vintage carousel and explore historic Pullman cars and a century-old steam locomotive.
The park’s model railroad building houses one of the Southwest’s great miniature worlds, while playgrounds, picnic ramadas and the Merci Train — France’s thank-you gift car — fill out a classic family afternoon.
Free to enter and beloved for generations, it’s the Valley’s happiest whistle stop: bring a picnic, ride the loop twice, and let the little engineers drive the day.
