We had an amazing experience on the Skunk Train Rail Coaster in Willits! The ride was so much fun, with beautiful scenery around every turn and just the right mix of excitement and relaxation.
A huge thank you to our tour guides, Ben and Noah. They were both incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable with their great personalities and enthusiasm. They kept everyone engaged, shared interesting information along the way, and made sure we were comfortable and having a great time from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a unique adventure in Mendocino County, I highly recommend the Skunk Train Rail Coaster. We can’t wait to come back and ride with them in Fort Bragg!

We took the Skunk train to Glen Blair Bar. The train is charming and my kid loved it. The bar in the woods was great overall (lots of space, chairs, fire pits, live music, etc.)
However, the train ride is very short and overpriced. By the time the 3rd train arrived at the bar site, only 1 of the 2 bars were open, creating a ridiculously long line. Also, if you wait for the final return train (they only run hourly), they will make you wait an additional 20-30 min to board as they have to grab the container cars that they converted into restrooms. Making your paying customers wait that long for a 10 min ride back to the station is unacceptable.
I’d go again because my kiddo loved it but the value proposition is poor.

We went on the Wolf Tree Turn train out of Willits. The whole process was very smooth from start to finish. One of the families I bought tickets for had to miss it due to a medical emergency and they were able to refund their tickets via a Skunk Train gift card even though I had booked the tickets through Groupon. The train ride itself was very fun with lots of scenery to enjoy. Along the way, we got to experience the many talents of Malakai, our singing conductor, who can play an astounding number of instruments! Be sure to check out the open air car to truly enjoy the majestic beauty of the trees along the route.

The Skunk Train and Glen Blair Bar made for an unforgettable experience. The train ride itself was beautiful, relaxing, and a great way to take in the stunning redwood scenery. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about making sure everyone had a great time.
The stop at Glen Blair Bar was the perfect addition. The atmosphere was laid-back and inviting, with great drinks, plenty of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings, and a peaceful setting tucked among the redwoods. It felt like the perfect place to slow down, unwind, and soak in nature before the return trip.
From start to finish, everything was well organized and exceeded my expectations. Whether you’re visiting the area or looking for a unique day trip, I highly recommend the Skunk Train and Glen Blair Bar. I’ll definitely be back!
