Redwood Valley Railway in Tilden Park, Berkeley, CA is dog friendly

We've taken our dog to the Redwood Valley Railway in Tilden Park several times.  He loves it, with his fur flying in the wind as the train takes off!  This is also a fun place to take children!

Tilden Park, Berkeley, CA

Prices:

single ride ticket- $3.00
five ride ticket- $12.00

Yesterday we had a great time at the Steam Train at Tilden Park.  A 5-ride ticket on the steam train is $12 (single-ride tickets are $3).  Each ride is about 15 minutes long.  The tracks wind through the redwoods in the park, and you can catch glimpses of the Bay in the distance.

We then walked up part of the Sea View Trail, which is a fire-trail that you can find right by the upper parking lot for the train area.  Here are some of the views from the trail.  First, facing West:







The trail passes by several telecom towers:
