Wonderful , like a very special escape. Reach back in time when things were slower and more peaceful. View California as it might have been during the Gold Rush! Afterward visit the many local wineries or Old Town Placerville for the antiques.
This railroad is sponsored by the local museum. Fare is $5.00 for people above nine years of age and $3 for those younger. It is run by volunteers who really understand the history of railroading in El Dorado County!
A track car is a small vehicle that used to shuttle track crews to their job sites. It is completely open on two side and wonderful breezes prevail!
Try taking the road less traveled!

If you've been here in the past, I suggest you make a reservation to get the seat you want. Because most of the theaters now have recliner seating, there aren't as many seats available, so seating fills quickly. But, we love watching movie from those comfortable recliners.

We did the half day / gorge trip. Thank you JC for guiding us so expertly down the river. First time our 13 and 11 year old have rafted and it was a great experience. We were apprehensive about going so early in the season but we got a beautiful sunny day and are so glad we went. The wetsuits and jackets kept us warm. JC was the perfect guide for us , we felt really safe in her hands, while having an absolute blast!

The beautiful American River is the site of California's 1849 Gold rush and now is the most popular whitewater rafting river in the Western US... let us show you why! One of the few rivers in California to have adequate water flows year round for rafting, The South Fork of the American River is a wonderfully fun guided rafting adventure for first timers, families and groups. The class 3 rapids are perfect for all types of participants, lots of action but not too intense for novices. Half, one and two day trips are available.

Fun with Henry the bear was an excellent outing by having our young grandkids to enjoy with.
Unfortunately the zoo was in a repair condition and we didn’t get to see all of the animals however the reduced rate made it very bearable .
Will certainly return in the future
